That might be me, it might not. I'm neither the owner, nor the developer. Just a happy user.
Having said that, one problem I have is that the broken SNMP that comes with MS servers has some serious drawbacks. Interface indicies change randomly. The reported free disk space is based on what the drive %full is at on boot, so if you use up space while it's on (duh!, of course you will), it will not catch the changes. There is no way to do 64 bit counters on gig interfaces. Memory and process information is spotty at best. Although some of this has gotten better with 2003, there are few people out there that have jumped to it. SNMP Informant is free too. You just have to do a tad bit more work to enable it vs. the stock MS one.

I think he's the owner or something, because it's actually the only thing I've ever seen him talk about. I've used it, and it's actually a pretty decent tool, so at least he's not lying. ;) That said, both Windows 2000 (Server) and 2003 come with an SNMP service that can be quickly and easily enabled (for free). Just go to your Services Viewer, and look for the item labelled SNMP. It can be controlled just like any other Windows service. Oh, and good luck trying to get useful memory stats out of a 2000 box. The stats that 2003 spits out are good, though.

My question is, does Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 come with an SNMP agent? If not, could I install net-snmp? Anyone have the MIBs?
