Using the Event Viewer to Find SNMP Errors

SNMP error handling has been improved in Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation version 4.0. Manual configuration of SNMP error-logging parameters has been replaced by improved error handling that is integrated with the Event Viewer. Use the Event Viewer if you suspect a problem with the SNMP Service.

Note
