Windows 10: Set Location and Contact Field Data from SNMP Service from Powershell or WMI

Hello,


This is my first time posting. I was wondering if there was any way to set the "Location" and "Contact" fields in the SNMP service programmatically? E.G. using some scripting language like Powershell or WMI. I have done some web-searching and have not found anything useful.

:)

 

Is the "SNMP Service" unavailable in Windows 10?

Adding the SMTP service to a Windows OS seems quite straightforward in almost all cases: open the Windows Features interface, then check the "Simple Network Management Protocol" option. After rebooting, a new local service should be available called "SNMP Service".

I've followed those steps in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, but I find that there is no "SNMP Service" to be found. There is an "SNMP Trap" service, but that's apparently not what I'm looking for. It seems the SNMP agent settings (eg. community name) can only be modified within the properties of "SNMP Service".

In my searching, I found a Powershell command purported to install the SNMP service:

However, the result is an error message (even when run as Administrator):

The words "client-based operating system" suggests the SNMP service is only available for Windows Server OSes, but that wasn't true for Windows 7/8. So I'm curious whether this has changed with Windows 10.

 

Powershell and WMI Event IDs

Is there a list of possible event IDs for Powershell and WMI similar to Troubleshooting Information for Windows Events or Windows Security Log Encyclopedia

 

Powershell and WMI Event IDs

Deepika,

there is no issue I'm experiencing. I only need list of event IDs possible for Powershell and WMI on any Windows version.

Thanks!
