SIM does not recognize rx4640 running Windows

I'm running HP SIM 4.2 SP2 and it reports the following summary information:
System Type: Unknown
Product Name:
OS Name:

I was under the impression Insight Manager understood all HP current products and could at least identify them. The Systems Management Homepage on the system appears to work fine.

Windows Server 2003 by default sets SNMP to only respond to localhost. Correct that and things should be fine.

Not my problem but it did get going down the right path. My community string was not set correctly. SNMP was set to accept from any host.

I imaged the system with HP media instead of our internal build process so the SNMP community string did not get set properly.
