Hi,

 

OOB yes its possible. But ServiceNow disabled it because they wants us to make use WMI to discover windows. If you really wants to use SNMP then in every machine the Windows SNMP service should be active then you can achieve. But its not a recommended way because SNMP wont provide more information than WMI

Hi Vivek,

I have tried as you said but windows is classifying with SNMP but  not exploring 

why?

In windows SNMP classifier there are two probes 

1.DNS-DNS,

2.MultiProbe-SNMP - Identity

will i do any modification to the both

I have attached both probe images to attachments 

can give me proper reason why they are not identifying? 

 

Your identity probe is in the exploration phase, it needs to be in the identification phase.
