2. Click Program and Features.
3. Click on the option Turn Windows Features on or off.

Configuring SNMP for Windows Server 2008
To configure the SNMP:
1. Select Start⇒Programs⇒Administrative Tools⇒Computer Management.
2. Select Services and Applications⇒Services.
3. Double-click Service Name, and then select SNMP Service Properties.
4. Click the Security tab, and then click Add to add the community string.
For the Insight Agents to function correctly, at least one community string needs to have
READ/WRITE access. The community string can be a large, non-unique string that can be
forgotten after inputted (that is, it is not used except for inter-agent communications).
5. Select a name for the string and access rights.
6. Click Apply⇒OK.
7. Click the Security tab and make sure under Accept SNMP Packets from these Hosts includes
loopback (127.0.0.1). This is needed for inter-agent communications.
