Prevent False Positive Events

We recommend that you create an empty TrapConfiguration key in the Windows Registry to prevent the SNMP service from logging false positive events. This topic describes how to perform this step on a system that is running either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2003.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user who is a member of the Administrators group.
2. Open a command prompt window.
3. Run the following command:

   reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration
   

   If the command executes successfully, the return value is: "The operation completed successfully."

   The TrapConfiguration registry key is created in the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters.
