Title: Enabling SNMP CPU and Memory Usage Stats on Windows Servers

Enabling SNMP CPU and Memory Usage Stats on Windows Servers
The performance MIB for Windows NT and Windows 2000/XP enables access to CPU and memory statistics via SNMP. This Microsoft-supplied software works in conjunction with Observer's "NT" SNMP request file, and the "NT Server MIBs" MIB file that is included with the Observer Suite.

To install PerfMon SNMP support on your NT/2000/XP server you must perform these steps on the Windows system you wish to monitor:
     1. Install the Windows NT or 2000/XP SNMP Agent. Please read the Windows help file
         for the setup information. If you are using Windows NT, make sure that you have
         Service Pack 6a installed (or greater).
     2. Extract all the files from the self-extracting zip archive          WinNT_2000_PerfMib_Setup.zip (located in the \MIB Text directory on the
         Observer distribution CD) into any temporary folder and run:
                  Win2000-XP_Setup.bat for Windows 2000/XP, or
                  WinNT_Setup.bat for Windows NT.
     3. Restart the system.

All performance counters will now be accessible through Observer's SNMP Console.
