A question on SNMP and server 2008 R2. &nbsp;On a server running windows 2008 R2, SNMP has not been enabled. &nbsp;It has been running for several years not installed.<br />
<br />
Should SNMP be installed, and if so are there any other items that need to be addressed. &nbsp;The network is served with a WatchGuard &nbsp;XTM security appliance. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
This has been discovered as there were SNMP errors on a printer, and the printer locks up with “connecting to pc” &nbsp;error. &nbsp;It turns out that SNMP was not checked on most of the computers on the network for that printer. &nbsp;Further investigation has revealed that SNMP was never installed on the server.
