Hi We are planning to build windows 2008 R2 server image. And our Wintel team planned to disable SNMP on the server image. Please let us know is SCOM uses SNMP for the communication between the agents or any MP' uses the SNMP. Regards Donald D'souza

Hi Donald OpsMgr doesn't use SNMP unless you have setup Network Device monitoring. If you are doing network device monitoring then you'll need to enable SNMP on the windows agent that is acting as the proxy. Cheers GrahamView OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/
