SNMP on Windows Vista rendered dysfunctional by NOD32 Anti Virus
July 5th, 2007Since Vista came out we had a strange problem with our Vista workstations: We were absolutely not able to query them through SNMP (using our PRTG or IPCheck as well as any other SNMP tool). SNMP requests simply timed out and were not returned by these Vista machine, regardless of the version (Vista Business or Ultimate). The SNMP service was properly installed and working, netstat reported nothing unusual.
