Howto Add SNMP Service Remotely on Windows 7/xp
Apr 30, 2019 This article applies to PRTG Network Monitor 19 or later. Installing and Configuring the SNMP Service on Windows. The best moment to install the SNMP service is immediately after or as part of the installation of the operating system because there are some applications that check for the availability of the SNMP service to install their own SNMP files. Microsoft excel starter won't open.
I am using Mikrotik’s the DUDEmonitoring tool since many years to monitor my Company’s Server’s and devices health, Recently I decided to add users subnet also on the server’s sub map to view online/offline users, there CPU / Memory/ HDD usage, personnel printers health and tons of other info.
As we all knows that for this purpose SNMP service is required on the target Windows OS. The problem was that there were over 120 nodes and I didn’t wanted to visit them each physically or didn’t wanted to take there remote to install SNMP due to some permission issues. After some googling I found one way to install SNMP service right from my admin pc by doing some fine tuning and tweaks of various commands using pstools. It’s not neat and clean , also it requires some manual work to do, but it does the job. Once you get used to it, you will find it relatively easy to deploy snmp using various method, Either its dos base batch file (that I personally use) , OR its VBS file, or running it via GPO or any other method. ! Every method works for sure.
[Remember in this example , I am using this technique in Active directory domain environment, and using domain administrator account to login to my admin pc windows, ]
First download pstoolsutility from following location
Extract it any any folder, e.g
c:pstools
c:pstools
Install Snmp Windows 10
Now open command prompt , and navigate to pstools directory , e.g
cd pstools
cd pstools
Adding SNMP Service remotely on Windows 7Â
Use the below command to initiate snmp service installation on remote windows 7 client pc.
After 2-3 minutes (depending on the remote PC hardware speed), snmp service will be installed with the default public string, and will be available to serve any snmp request, example via dude. You can verify it by login to that PC and open services console and look for SNMP Service. Now the important point is that SNMP service is installed without any community string by default & without defining any string and define allow monitoring hosts section, you will not be able to do any query via snmp.
You can use the following batch file to create public string on the client pc , right from your desktop.
You can use the following batch file to create public string on the client pc , right from your desktop.
First create a batch file name change_snmp_String.bat , open notepad , and paste the following text.
You can change the PUBLICstring to one of your own choice, as public is very common, Also you need to change the IP defined in above batch file script to match your pc from where you want to monitor the clients or where DUDE is installed. I have two monitoring servers , DUDE+LINUX, therefore I added two IP’s
Now save this file with the name of change_snmp_String.bat (Make sure file name ends with .bat, as notepad adds .txt extension, you have to remove it by selecting ALL FILES in file type, or rename it afterward, grrrrrrr)
![Snmp Service Windows 7 Snmp Service Windows 7](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124892853/604415898.jpg)
Save this file in any shared folder of your system, a folder that every one can access easily , preferably file server location.
Now from command prompt and within pstools directory, use the below command to initiate above batch file so that it can change the snmp string from blank to public and allow our monitoring server IP’s to query the snmp service.
OR if you get access denied message, then try passing the admin credentials along with the command
All Done, Now lo-gin to that client PC , and check snmp service / security tab and verify that new public string have been added. The benefit of using PUBLICstring is that dude by default use public string, and if you use this string, then dude will auto fetch the snmp data and will show the cpu/mem/hdd on devices.
To install SNMP on local Windows 7 PC using CLI, use the below command
Adding SNMP Service remotely on Windows XP/2003
Adding snmp service on Remote Windows XP is a bit tricky and require some manual work to do, Once you manage to get it working, you can then wrap all command in one single file and use this file to install SNMP service via single file by monitoring target pc name only. Ok Let’s Start . . .
Create new file name snmp.inf with the following contents
(This file will be used for ocsetup to instruct that it should install snmp service)
(This file will be used for ocsetup to instruct that it should install snmp service)
Copy this snmp.inf to any shared folder, preferably any file sharing server.
Now Copy windows CD contents to any shared folder on your file sharing server or local PC. Copy the whole CD, which will be required at the time of snmp service installation.
e.g:
e.g:
Now create a registry file name winpath.reg with the following contents [This file will be used on remote xp to update the windows xp registry for XP setup source files , which will be required at the time of snmp service installation.]
Make sure you change the path defined in the below script to match your local location.
Now copy this winpath.reg file to the target Client Windows XP in root , e.g  C:
Now execute the following command Which will add the windows source path to the client windows XP registry
(You must have pstools in c:pstools folder, as explained in windows 7 section above)
(You must have pstools in c:pstools folder, as explained in windows 7 section above)
Now that the client XP now knows about the windows XP setup CD, its time to hit the road, (remote execution of snmp service installation on remote windows XP). Use the below command to execute the setup.
![Snmp service download windows 7 Snmp service download windows 7](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124892853/218282707.jpg)
After 2-3 minutes (depending on the remote PC hardware speed), snmp service will be installed with the default public string, and will be available to serve any snmp request, usually I used DUDE 🙂
Remember, I only explained the raw method of doing snmp installation on remote pc’s. There are many other fine tuned method to perform this action. You can adopt whatever you like. Following are 2 batch files that do job via batch file, so you don’t’ have to type he whole commands, just type the batch file and the target PC name,
For Windows 7 , We will use two batch file.
1- win7_snmp_install.bat
2- win7_snmp_string.bat
One that will install SNMP Service on remote win 7,
1- win7_snmp_install.bat
2- win7_snmp_string.bat
One that will install SNMP Service on remote win 7,
Second that will change the SNMP String
You can use this file by defining client pc name with the file
e.g: win7_snmp_install.bat clientpcname
e.g: win7_snmp_install.bat clientpcname
For Windows XP, Single Batch file will be enough
1- winXP_snmp_install.bat
1- winXP_snmp_install.bat
You can use this file by defining client pc name with the file
e.g: winxp_snmp_install.bat clientpcname
e.g: winxp_snmp_install.bat clientpcname

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an internet protocol used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices such as computers, servers, routers, switches, gateways, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and etc. for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
SNMP provides management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system configuration parameter or current status value. These variables can then be read and queried (or sometimes set or write) by managing applications.
Windows system, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 (R2), Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 (R2), Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, either does not have SNMP service installed by default, or does not turn on SNMP service by default, or does not configure SNMP service by default, thus users need to manually install, enable or configure SNMP service before they can monitor the system via SNMP.
Note that you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
How to Install and Enable the SNMP Service
- In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click Start button, then go to Control Panel and run Add or Remove Programs applet. On Add or Remove Programs dialog, click Add/Remove Windows Components to open “Windows Components” wizard.In Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, click Start button, then go to Control Panel. Click on Programs ->Programs and Features link and then click on Turn Windows features on or off. If you’re prompted with User Account Control dialog, click “Continue”.In Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 or later, open the Control Panel, then click or tap on Programs ->Programs and Features link, followed by Turn Windows features on or off. If you’re prompted with User Account Control dialog, click “Continue” or “Yes”.
- In Components of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, click on the Management and Monitoring Tools (make sure that you do not select or clear, tick or untick its check box to change the existing selection), and then click Details.
- Select and tick the check box of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Simple Network Management Protocol or SNMP feature.
- Click OK. In Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you need to click additional Next button.SNMP service will be installed on the system. You may require to insert the Windows setup CD/DVD disc into optical drive.
- SNMP will start automatically after installation. But it’s recommended to verify the service status from Services in Control Panel or Task Manager, and if it’s stopped, you can start the SNMP service from there.Two new services will be created:
- SNMP Service which is the main engine with agents that monitor the activity in the network devices and report the information to the monitoring console workstation.
- SNMP Trap Service which receives trap messages generated by local or remote SNMP agents and forwards the messages to SNMP management programs running on this computer.
Windows doesn’t assign any community string to the SNMP service by default, and also only allow access from localhost (this computer only) or local devices. Further configuration is needed to add in desired community string, which act as the password to grant reply to any SNMP request from remote system.
