Discovery : SNMP Classification - Active, couldnt classify

We have a client that wants to use SNMP Credentials for Discovering Windows Devices.

We have setup the credentials and tested with success.

Everything appears to be ok on the infrastructure side.

 

However when SNMP attempts to classify we get the following error.

 

Active, couldnt classify 

Does any aditional configuration need to be done as part of trying to acheive this ? if so is there any documentation anywhere to support such a requirement ?

still, I am just curious, where do you store SNMP Community string in the windows server??

 

TO sum up:

- 4 people told you that is not possible

- If you would be able to create classifier, you have to create new custom pattern for SNMP to discover Windows, which, imho, you iwll spend months to create it, if possible, because, just to get.f.e OS version, how do you want to reach it with SNMP? as there is in use gwmi win32_operatingsystem... 

 

SNMP on Windows is not the way...

All you need to do is to download Paessler SNMP Tool on MID and try do do SNMP Walk (f.e. query for uptime). You will need SNMP Community and IP address. If you will receive Uptime, that chack if traffic is allowed between MID discovery and target device.

Just for curiosity? What is Windows SNMP device?

Apologies but how is this going to help and what potential steps would need to be made from this point ?

 

i dont really understand what this is acheiving.

sure, mine steps were for verification that credentials are ok.
SO what says the "Discovery log" for those devices?
