RE: external traps not received

Well I solved the problem. I had installed WMI core with SNMP v1.5 and this
replaced snmptrap.exe.
 
Here is some info on the version of snmptrap.exe included with WMI:
 

CompanyName     Microsoft Corporation
FileDescription Windows Management Instrumentation
InternalName    SNMPTRAP
OriginalFilenam
ProductName     Windows Management Instrumentation
ProductVersion  1.50.1085.0000
FileVersion     1.50.1085.0000
LegalCopyright  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. 1995-1999
 
11/12/1999  02:19p              20,558 Copy of snmptrap.exe
 

I just copied back snmptrap.exe from a another NT box and it appears to be
working fine. Presumably some part of WMI will be broken now.

NetView for NT 6.0.2 requires the MS SNMP Trap Service to be installed and
running or it cannot get external traps. 
I would guess that yours is not.  Check Services in the Control Panel and
see.

Hello,

I am having a problem with my NV for NT 6.02 implementation. Events that are
generated by NV are appearing in the Event Browser but snmp traps that are
sent from other devices never show up in the Event Browser.

On start up I get:

"11/14/01 14:38:18 [trapd] SnmpMgrGetTrap error: Unknown error" in the
nv.log

I have verified the traps are arriving at the NV server with a sniffer but
they never seem to show up in the trace file.

my trapd.lrf looks like:

"trapd:/usr/OV/bin/trapd:
OVs_YES_START::-z ,-a5000,-m1000,-t
..\log\trapd.trace:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:120:"

I suspect a problem w/ trapd and ODBC but I haven't been able to find any
other error msgs. Trapd starts and runs.

Any suggestion where to look next?

Thanks,

-Wes
