Pretty simple to set the SNMP registry keys with a group policy...

Community strings go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCo
mmunities

SNMP management servers go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\Permitt
edManagers

I'd never heard of "sysocmgr"; thanks for that! Yes, all the machines
already have SNMP installed, and all have at least the PUBLIC community
defined as READ ONLY. So I'd be interested in just adding my own community.

That's a great help, thanks!
