Windows 10: Windows 11 & Windows 10 Issue - Enabling SNMP services- Machines working in OFFLINE Mode...

Hi Team I need to enable SNMP Services on Windows 11 & 10 Machine in offline mode. We cannot use internet on site due to security issues What we need is : 1. Either a FOD package that includes “Network tools” features - which in turn has SNMP and WMI SNMP features. 2. Or, alternatively a .cab file which could be another name for FOD package that includes the above features. 3. These are for windows 11 or windows 10 releases. Once we have these files, we can install them in PC's one by one and enable the services.

Microsoft enables offline play for Windows 10 games

Most Windows 10 games will support offline play, but you'll have to work at it.





"Larry Hryb, the man known to the world as Major Nelson, announced on Twittertoday that Microsoft has "made some backend updates to improve your experience playing @Windows 10 games offline." Basically, if you're going to be somewhere that lacks online coverage—on a submarine, for instance—it will still be possible to play your games. But there are some restrictions.

"Most games available in the Store on your Windows 10 device support offline play, but check the details of the game to make sure yours is supported by searching for your game at http://www.xbox.com," the Xbox support site says. "Most games with a campaign mode will be playable offline, but games with network co-op or multiplayer features will not work while you’re offline. While playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items from the Windows Store, will not be available. Additionally, any leaderboards will be unavailable while you're offline."

Obviously, online features like buying stuff from in-game stores won't be available when you're offline, but the bit about "games with network co-op or multplayer features" not working while offline really isn't clear. We tested with Gears of War 4 and confirmed that the offline features like campaign and LAN multiplayer worked just fine when disconnected.

There are more caveats, though. You're limited to just one "designated offline device" at a time, and you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. Switching into offline mode isn't all that easy, either. First, you'll need to set your designated offline device:

• Make sure that you’re online.
• Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start,Settings, Update and security, and then Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
• Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
• Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
• Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.

After that, you'll have to "prepare" your games by launching each one that you want to play offline while you're still online, and logging into your Xbox Live account. This is a bit like launching Steam into Offline mode while you still have an internet connection... but you'll have to prepare each individual Xbox game this way before going offline.

Once you've logged into the game while you're online, you can exit at any time and you'll be set. Of course, if you change your mind and want to play something you haven't properly prepared, you're out of luck.

The upside is that this only affects Windows 10 games, but it still seems wildly complicated and restrictive to me. Worse, while improved functionality is always welcome, I can't see how this does anything but beg for unflattering comparisons with Steam: When I want to play my Steam games offline, I set Steam offline, restart it, and I'm on my way—and I can do it as often as I want. Microsoft's implementation of offline play is an improvement, but only because it wasn't available at all previously. As a step toward becoming more competitive with Steam, though, it falls woefully short."

SNMP service broken with Windows 10.0.15063

It seems that in Windows 10.0.15063 the SNMP service is broken. When I try to call up the service I get a time out error. Like this one here.

"snmpwalk -v2c -c netsnmp 192.168.1.7 ifDescr

Timeout: No Response from 192.168.1.7"

This was not the case in earlier version of Windows 10 before current "Creative Update" or whatever nonsense Microsoft called this update. I use SNMP to monitor network traffic on my LAN to see if anything unusual is going on and when computers peaked in
usage and other useful information I can get over SNMP. Restarting the service has no effect and neither does rebooting the computer.

The computer that collects and shows me this information is a FreeBSD 11.0 computer. I got high technical experience in Linux and some in FreeBSD (always getting better). This is not a problem in the FreeBSD machine, I got an old Windows XP machine that
responds just fine to a SNMP command (its depending a upgrade to Windows 10 Pro at later date when I can afford buying it, it only has a limited task to do so fast upgrade does not need to happen).

I just finished moving from Linux to Windows 10 on the Desktop front to simplify my life and I know for sure that SNMP was responding to commands before current update of Windows 10.

I hope there is a quick fix to this issue, since I rather want to have SNMP data from Windows 10 that I'm running for Desktop now.

Thanks for the help.

 

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.
