Using the Windows NT SNMP Service
Windows NT implements SNMP as a service. Any Netscape servers that use
SNMP communicate directly with this service. Netscape Administration Server
does not perform any SNMP-related tasks on Windows NT. All SNMP-related
tasks are handled by the operating system.

Install the SNMP service on your server
Refer to your Windows NT documentation for instructions.

For more information, see your server documentation.
