Mathieu,

How do you set #4 up in GPO? I haven't been able to find that option. It's
not under SNMP.

The reason I'm doing this isn't so much to manage the servers. I'm setting
up DellOpenManageIT which requires SNMP. Mostly it monitors the server
hardware and notifies you if anything goes wrong.

Thanks,
Dave

Hello,

the 4. can be done through GPO

You may use process monitor to capture registry changes when you do it from
the services.msc tab.

Looks strange that you go this way for this numbers of servers. I would
expect SCOM or things like this to manage this number of server, instead of
just SNMP.
