[mrtg] Re: PROBLEMS with Exchange.mib on WinNT

[Stieers, Ken]

Arnellos, 
 
There's a bug in step 5

The command:
mibcc -omib.bin -n -t -w2 smi.mib LMMIB2.MIB mib_ii.mib perfmib.mib
exchange.mib

Should read
mibcc -omib.bin -n -t -w2 smi.mib LMMIB2.MIB mib_ii.mib perfmib.mib
newmib.mib


You also should try using the PERF2MIB.EXE, MIBCC.EXE and PERFMIB.DLL in the
SERVER\SUPPORT\SNMP\I386 directory of the Exchange 5.5 Server CD.  They are
newer than what comes with the reskit. 

HTH, 

Ken
