How to manually remove the SNMP service

Hi all,

We are running Windows 2003 w/sp2 on a system. I was trying to add a
"Windows Components" (SNMP) but it hung during the install. Now it seems
that SNMP is part way installed on the system but not fully.

The problem is that it will not let me remove or reinstall the SNMP service.

When I reboot the system it takes 30 mins to come back up and I fould the
following error in the event logs:

Source: SNMP

Event ID: 1102



The SNMP Service is ignoring extension agent.dll
c:\Windows\System32\Immib2.dll because it is missing or misconfigured.


Anyone know of a doc that tells me how to do a manual removal so I can
reinstall the service?

TIA,


Clayton

Your mileage may vary, but try removing the service from the registry, i.e.

HKLM\Software\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SN MP

delete the whole of the SNMP key (take a backup first!) and reboot. This
will remove the SNMP service from the services console and will stop
Windows from trying to start it.

Then try reinstalling SNMP. I have no idea if that will work, but that's
what I'd do first.
