  1. How To Install Snmp On Server 2003 Without Cd

I need to modify my development environment, a virtual image using Windows 2003 SP2, to install the SMTP service under IIS (6.0). The virtual image is a corporate build, and I do not have access to the installation disc (and going through the corporate channels, this may take several days). Is there any way I can add the SMTP service without the install disc?

How to install snmp on server 2003 without cd

Enabling SNMP on Windows 8 and 10 as well as Windows Server 12, 16, and 19. Open the Control Panel on your Windows machine. Click Turn Windows features on or off in section Programs. Click to enlarge. Check Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and install it. SNMP Clients. Command line client applications. To configure SNMP client applications on Debian, including snmpwalk:% apt-get install snmp. If you want the OIDs to resolve to their text description, activate the non-free repository and install snmp-mibs-downloader:% apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader. Check the box for 'Simple Network Management Protocol'. On the 'Windows Components Wizard' window, click 'Next' and SNMP will be installed. Upon successful completion, two SNMP services will start automatically: SNMP Service - Includes agents that monitor the activity in network devices and report to the network console workstation.

If there is alternative way of having an email service working on the virtual image, that also would be useful.

I Agreed with Sam, if you don't have the disk or i386 folder, then you'll probably have difficulties.

You could try downloading Sp2, and extracting the i386 folder from it (it's a while ago when I tried that, and can't remember if it worked).

Alternatively, schmooze the IT dept, or go for some third party SMTP server.

I'd imagine the IT dept would rather you use the MS one, than install a third party app...

Well the SMTP service installer needs some files from the installation disk, so if you don't have the disk, or you don't have the i386 folder on the machine somewhere, then you are a little stuck.

You could try and find the DLL's it asks for from the internet, but thats a pretty risky tactic, as they may not be what they claim to be and could cause you substantial problems.

Your other option is to install an alternative mail server on your machine, there are many free options available for Windows - Mailenable, Smartermail etc.

You could download an eval copy from MS and use that as your install source.

I have had some good luck with and extracted SP2 i386 folder in the past though, and - if memory serves - it worked fine one time with IIS.

IMHO, the easiest way to do it is to pay a visit to your sysadmin team, and bring along cookies. Or beer, beer is good too.

you can download SP2 for windows 2003 server - and use i386 folder :)

I've been able to successfully install SNMP, for Windows 2003 Server, which requires the 'second CD' or 'i386' folder to complete the installation. Rather than finding and transferring that large amount or finding a way to mount it from a remote location. I've now just packed up my own SNMP requirements folder for when installing SNMP for Windows 2003. The required files, found in the i386 folder, include:

The only one I was not able to find was apver.vbs. I had to track that down online. I zipped it up and shared it to myself for easy access/deployment when needed. It's roughly 500KB compared to the 600MB I would need if finagling the 'required' CD.
