SNMP Monitoring for Windows

Question

We have a customer with a highly locked-down Windows environment. They would like to get the most they can from SNMP monitoring of Windows.

Does anyone have any tips on enhancing the basic SNMP information as provided by Windows, either with any changes to the monitored Windows environment OR additional DataSources etc?

Many thanks in advance!

Microsoft deprecated SNMP in Windows 2012 I think: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831568(v=ws.11)#snmp&nbsp;
LM used to have some super old unsupported SNMP DataSources floating around. I may or may not have saved these to a github&nbsp;repo...&nbsp;

What I've done is just check the SNMP datasources and modify the AppliesTo so that it applies to Windows boxes as well. There's no silver bullet in this case.

You could compile the Net-SNMP source into windows and install that. It supports SNMPv3.
