## How to install SNMP component using Endpoint Central?

### Description

This document provides you with the steps required to install SNMP component in remote client computers.

### For Computers using operating system released before Windows Vista

You will use sysocmgr.exe to install SNMP components for the computers using the following operating systems,

- Windows 2000
- Windows 2003
- Windows XP
- Windows 2003 R2

### Create a text file

The first step in using sysocmgr.exe is to create a text file with the following information.

```
[NetOptionalComponents]
SNMP = 1

[SNMP]
Contact_Name = Michael Khanin
Location = Canada

Service = Physical, Applications, End-to-End

Community_Name = Public
Traps = server1.thesystemadministrator.com, server2.thesystemadministrator.com

Send_Authentication = Yes
Accept_CommunityName = Public:Read_Only
Any_Host = No
Limit_Host = server1.thesystemadministrator.com, server2.thesystemadministrator.com
```

**Note**:  
/q - runs sysocmgr.exe in quiet mode (without display pages) and /r - suppresses reboot (if needed).

### Steps to Deploy

   ```

   **Note**: The `<path-to-answer-file>` must be a path to the text file in your network share. For example:
