I needed a way to mass install SNMP to the servers in my environment. \u00a0The problem I was having was Microsoft Windows Server 2003 needing files from the CD. \u00a0We don’t copy the i386 directory from the CD for two reasons. \u00a0We store the files on the network and drive space is limit on a lot of servers. \u00a0The batch script will check if the server is 2003. \u00a0If it is 2003, it will point the install cd to a network path or a local path. \u00a0Next it builds the \u00a0unattended install file. \u00a0Once the file is written, the system will add the SNMP feature per the\u00a0unattended\u00a0file. \u00a0After SNMP is installed, the registry keys are set for the SNMP community strings. \u00a0Lastly the script removes the temporary files it created.<\/p>\n

Use this script in combination to PSTools’ PSExec and you can mass install. \u00a0Create a list of systems you want to install this on and call it hosts.txt. \u00a0Each server needs to be on it’s own line and it is best to use the fully qualified name or IP Address. \u00a0Copy the hosts.txt and installsnmp.bat file in to your PSTools directory and run the following command:<\/p>\n

PsExec.exe @hosts.txt -s -c installsnmp.bat<\/span><\/pre>\n
Download the Install SNMP Batch File, just rename to a .bat file.<\/a><\/p>\n
