SNMP service security tab is missing – Windows Server 2012 R2 – DC

I have to configure the security settings for the SNMP-Service on a Windows Server. But they are missing!

Here are the facts:

  • OS: Windows Server 2012 R2

  • I installed the SNMP feature and I believe, that I already configured the service (but I forgot to add another IP under Security tab)

  • I know the issue where you have to restart the SNMP-service after you installed the feature to see the Security tab (so I made already some restarts.)

  • My colleague installed now the DC server role.

  • Now I can not see the Security tab anymore (I don't know if it has to do something with the installation of the DC role).

  • I really need SNMP for monitoring reasons. (So please don't advise to use WMI or other things)

  • I used my domain admin when clicking on "SNMP-Service" –> "Properties"

What can I do to see the Security tab again? Or is there a possibility to configure the SNMP service via CMD or PowerShell?

You need to install the SNMP Tools feature to get those tab pages, e.g. using the Powershell command Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-SNMP.

Remember to restart the service manager before opening the properties page again.
