omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service 107
Therefore, for a computer named "myOmsa" running Server Administrator, the default name would be
"myOmsa–omsa". This is the name of Server Administrator defined in Active Directory by using the
snap–in tool. This name must match the name for the application object in Active Directory in order to
find user privileges.
NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems running the Windows operating system.
Table 5-16 shows the valid parameters for the command.
omconfig preferences snmp
Setting the SNMP root password allows administrators to restrict access to SNMP set operations that
allow important systems management interventions. You can configure the SNMP root password
normally (by typing all of the parameters in one command line) or interactively.
NOTICE: Interactive mode is the more secure method of setting the SNMP root password. In noninteractive mode,
the values you enter for the newpw and confirmnewpw options appear on your system’s monitor when you type
them. In interactive mode, the values you type for passwords are masked.
The parameters for configuring the SNMP root password are the same whether you configure it
interactively or iteratively.
NOTE: If you specify setting=rootpw but do not specify the other name=value pair parameters, you enter
interactive mode, and the command line prompts you for the remaining values.
Table 5-17 shows the valid parameters for the command.
