Does the snmp community have to be read/write to get all the functionality of sim or can it be read only. We are trying to ensure that we can centrally update and change strings on a regular basis and GPO's only allow for read only strings. Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks

You muste be READ\Write or READ\CREAT, if you put READ only there many item will not be able to do(ex: intergrate log, you will not be able to mark item has repare,ect...to many item for trouble)

Dan is almost right...The Insight agents require the presence of Read-Write or Read-Create (the same as Read-Write in Microsoft SNMP) for proper operation. A write string is necessary to set disk thresholds, clear the IML, and for inter-agent communications. HP SIM does NOT use a write string across the wire--all of its "write" operations are accomplished via HTTPS.
