Is SNMP enabled or disabled by default on Windows 10?
If it is disabled then how can I enable SNMP and configure a public READ ONLY community string for several computers on a network?
Thanks
Do you have a reason for using SNMP instead of WMI/Agent ?
If you have a domain you could use GPO.

Hello,
I tried the SolarWinds SNMP enabler but it is not working and I found out it is because WMI is not working either, when I test the WMI connection in the computer itself it works, but when I test the connection from my computer to another in the network I got an Access Denied error Number: 0x80070005.
Any suggestion?
I tried with Admin Local credentials.

It's very possible to use PowerShell to install and configure SNMP on a Windows machine. More details at the link below.

Note that WMI is much more powerful on Windows then SNMP. This means you will have less information exposed on the endpoint and therefore monitored by Orion. If WMI isn't an option for whatever reason, I would recommend using the Agent instead. I typically only use SNMP on a Windows machine when neither WMI or the Agent are viable options for whatever reason.
