I'm not sure how that's possible...from my experience, Windows SNMP *will* expose running services via SNMP, but if you stop a running service it will immediately drop out of the SNMP results. This completely baffles me, since from my research it seems like it has been a quirk for a loooong time. And the killer is that Windows returns the services' current states via SNMP as running, started, paused, all that good stuff. But it has been my experience that when a service is stopped, instead of it still showing in SNMP with a state of STOPPED, it just falls off the radar, just like it is not installed. This is pretty useless, since the service could either be stopped (bad), or just not installed (not so bad)...it just seems broken to me. *sigh*...the cross I bear for being a Windows Administrator... ;-) --seth P.S. This is all just from my experience. I'd love to know if someone is able to test this and come back with different results. Basically snmpwalk a Windows box for services, stop a service, wait a minute or two, then walk the box again. The service you stopped should no longer show up in the list--at least that's what I saw the last time I tested it. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=16328#16328 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
