Is there a CMD-line utility built-in to Windows which will allow me to perform SNMP queries?

Gurus,

Running Windows Server 2003 SP2 with SNMP installed. The read-only
community string for this machine and all others in the environment is
Public. Is there a CMD-line utility built-in to Windows which will allow me
to perform SNMP queries from machine to machine? Like an SNMP GET for
example?

Check out Ye Olde TechNet Library: http://www.activexperts.com/activmonitor/functions/snmp/

Also, look up a few heirarchies to the following super-category:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...b1d9-4733-98a2-31085c43c1171033.mspx?mfr=true


Does that help?

Sorry, that first link was in error. It should have been:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...b1d9-4733-98a2-31085c43c1171033.mspx?mfr=true

Pardon the confusion.

Thx, but wasn't really what I was looking for. Evntcmd is really just an
Event to Trap Translator. I need something which will allow me to do SNMP
GETs.

Ah. In that case, it seems that you may have to resort to using WMI.
However, I think WMI will only retrieve information from other Windows
machines, so any non Windows devices that you have won't be polled. =(

Not bad idea at all. Is there an example syntax in WMI in which I could
perform an operation similar to an SNMP GET? In this environment, all
devices are Windows machines.

A standard Google search showed some promising returns:
http://www.google.com/search?q="snmp+get"+wmi

Especially look through this thread:

And then there's this one:
