SNMP Services
Installation of SNMP services is not required for HP desktop and mobile computers as these systems are
managed using DMI or WMI. However, if installed, SNMP services provides a quicker and more efficient
device discovery and identification of MAC addresses.
Complete instructions for installing SNMP services on Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems are in
Appendix A – Installing SNMP services. Note that any Service Packs need to be re-applied after SNMP
services are installed on Windows NT systems.
