So, you could skip to Step 8 in this guide if you are so inclined and proceed through step 15, but the validation steps after that will likely not work properly. I hope, in the future, to perform a side-by-side comparison of what works and does not work based on your installation type. So, until I am able to get all the features working as I'd like, the steps in this post provide maximum flexibility in SNMP monitoring. While I was able to generate alerts, the event captures that I show on the last step of this post did NOT function. However, the screens I normally use to validate that SNMP is working did not function correctly. Recently, I have been successfully deploying SCOM without having to also install the native SNMP options in Windows.
