SNMP keeps crashing

Solution 1:

I had this type of issue before. Check for SNMP agent extension. Dell and others add extensions to the SNMP service, and may cause a crash due to missing DLL & co.

I blogged about it, that was Arcserve the guilty at this time

Compare this hive with others servers:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents

You may also use Process Explorer to track SNMP service behavior.

Solution 2:

I also had a similar problem and Mathieu's solution helped me. In my case there was a registry with the following name .

"aussnmp"="SOFTWARE\\Adaptec\\RAIDController\\AAC\\CurrentVersion"

Deleting this solved the problem.

Btw, this is on Windows Server 2008 R2 enterprise on DELL hardware.

Solution 3:

I've had some intermittent issues with this same thing on physical SuperMicro servers at SoftLayer. I found deleting both the following keys seems to fix the issue.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adaptec\RAIDController\AAC\CurrentVersion\aussnmp 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adaptec\RAIDController\AAC\CurrentVersion\Pathname
