SUMMARY
=======

You can obtain detailed SNMP debug information on Windows NT systems without
attaching a debugger by using the checked build of Snmp.exe.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Use the following steps to log detailed debug information to a log file
(Snmpdbg.log) in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 subdirectory, or to the system event
log.


1. Change to the %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory.

2. Rename the Snmp.exe file in your %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory to
  SNMP.FRE.

3. Copy the checked Snmp.exe file to your %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory.

4. From a command prompt, type the following:

  "NET START SNMP /loglevel:20 /logtype:7" (without the quotation marks)

  Debug information will be written to %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SNMPDBG.LOG, and to
  the system event log.

5. You can adjust the output detail by lowering the /loglevel and /logtype
  options to lower numbers.

Sample Output Using /loglevel:20 /logtype:7
