Configure SNMP settings for Windows servers via scripts

[Tom Verhein]

Hello,

We have many Windows 2000 & 2003 servers. We would like to configure the HP Management Agent SNMP settings with a VBscript or Bat file instead of the GUI. 1. Is there any documentation covering this topic, and if so, where? 2. Are there any example scripts which perform this function and if so, where can I find them? 3.Is there documentation which discusses the Windows registry keys which are affected and if so, where can I find it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the management agents pick up SNMP from the system settings?
I have setup a batch file that uses the resource kit util REG.EXE which updates a list of servers fed to it.

Registry keys to update:
REG ADD \\%1\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers /v 1 /t REG_SZ /d localhost /f
REG ADD \\%1\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration\public /v 1 /t REG_SZ /d localhost /f
As you add other hosts to the list increment the number up.
