Enabling SNMP for entire environment so Dell Openmanage Essentials can inventory/manage devices

Hi All

I've recently installed Dell Essentials (2.0.0) onto my Windows Server 2008 R2 utility machine.

I've configured the tool to search our subnets and it has come back with a few hundred machines. (which is what was expected)

Each machine doesn't show much, but this is where you install/enable SNMP and enable/turn on 4 other services for the devices to show their inventory etc. So when i have manually done this for a few machines it works fine and shows the device and their inventory.

My environment is mostly 

  • 2008R2
  • But also a mix of 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2012/2012R2

So is there a way i can install/enable SNMP across the board and turn on these services. I obviously need to configure SNMP aswell, which i presume is via GPO.

I've seen some people are writing PowerShell scripts, but wondered if Dell had a preferred method

I'm guessing this must be a common issue for most administrators installing this for their environments? Apologies in advance if i have missed something after searching the forums.

Cheers
