windows 2003 server

[ron_126]

Hello,
when I try do discover a windows 2003 server I have no problem if it is not automatically.
but even then sim does not recognize the OS of the server.
does any one know what to do?
maybe I should change the security settings on the server?
thanks
Ron

Make sure the SNMP service is set to accept requests from you IM7/hpSIM server. MS by default installs it to only accept packets from localhost.

Thank you David,
I did it and I still get that the system type is unknown.
I get information from SNMP and ping but still the OS is unknown.
and I don't get any software information.
maybe there is something else also.
thanks
Ron

Ron,
If you're allowed, try setting SNMP to Accept All Hosts, this brings it back to W2000 defaults and retest.
Rerun Discovery, and device identification tasks.
If that works then recheck on the SNMP Settings. It needs to entries in the Allow Hosts, localhost or 127.0.0.1 and the IP Address of your CMS Server.
