5402.0. "SNMP agent of Microsoft LANmanager" by UTROP1::LIETHOFF_S (Stef Liethoff @UTO) Wed Jul 28 1993 11:56

    Hi,
    
    Has anyone tried to manage a Microsoft LANmanager environment with
    SNMP, DECmcc.
    If so, can you share me your experience.

5402.1Works Great for LANman on OS2HERON::PATEL_ALoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMFThu Jul 29 1993 04:0236
    my $0.02 worth...

    I have worked with the LANMANAGER agent both on OS2, Alpha NT and Intel
    NT.

    OS2 works fine, can get most of the defied MIB variables as per
    LANMANAGER, only thing is that there is a sort of bit alignment problem
    which results in a non printable character as the first character when
    you show certain variables.

    All standard traps worked fine, we also got the "login Security
    Violation" trap to work by defining a valid user name but a garbage
    password when doing a remote "use" of a file system from a client to the
    server.  The following is the rule we used (CERIUS is the domain etc..)

    CREATE DOMAIN CERIUS RULE pw_access_violation -
      EXPRESSION         =  (OCCURS( snmp * LANMANAGER accessViolationsAlert)),-
      CATEGORY           =  "Security"                                     ,-
      DESCRIPTION        =  "Network logon access violation"               ,-
      ALARM FIRED PROCEDURE     =  MCC$com:cerius_acc_viol_alarm_proc.com   ,-
      ALARM EXCEPTION PROCEDURE =  MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_EXCEPTION.COM ,-
      ALARM FIRED PARAMETER     =  "mercur::mcc"                           ,-
      SEVERITY           =  Critical

    the notifications we used for the domain....

    Notify Domain CERIUS Entity List = (snmp *), Events = (any event)

    NOW, the story is a little different if you have Alphas.  There appears
    to be a problem with the variable data sent back from the NT agent some
    are ok most you just see garbage back.  I reported the problem to Alpha
    NT group they said it is a Microsoft NT problem... sorry to say I
    basically gave up because of the time it was taking to get to Microsoft
    etc..

    have fun, Amrit
