Configuring SNMP Group Policy

If you use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Group Policy to administer registry-based policy settings that apply to SNMP, one or more of the following subkeys may exist.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration

Typically, only members of the Administrators local group can access the following registry subkeys that store configuration data for the SNMP service:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers
