Ha!  That's where you are incorrect.  GetIf will display any MIB you put 
into its "mibs" directory and delete the .index file.  Then you can 
walk an entire tree just chock full 'o good info.

Microsoft should ship (mostly with the resource kit) almost every MIB it 
has.  A brief hit on mibcentral.com or somix.com also gives some pretty 
interesting information.  Garth (snmp4tpc) has taken great pains to make 
sure implementing the perfmib stuff is pretty easy to understand, and I figured 
snmpboy was a good one because it gave some of the more basic info to 
monitor as well as information on what else *can* be done.

Having said all that, I don't monitor a single thing on a Windows box.  
Not that I don't want to, but the Windows people don't want me monitoring anything because, as they say - "You might break something."  If it's that fragile, I don't know if I want my name remotely associated with monitoring 
something like that... ;-)

Microsoft doesn't provide OIDs????  C'mon.  They CREATED the MIBs.
You mean to tell me they don't provide any MIBs with all the pertinent
OIDs in it?   Even if it is Microsoft, I can't believe they don't publish
their MIBs.

Nice try, but Microsoft does not provide the actual OIDs
(.1.3.6.1.4.1.311...... etc.).  I already looked on snmpboy and found some
w2k OID's, but not all, and they don't have NT OIDS.  I'll look on the
other one and see what I find.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe Microsoft?

Actually, two come to mind.

Does anyone know of a good place on the internet to get Microsoft OID's?
Or does anyone have a list of NT/2k OID's?  Especially OID's for CPU,
Memory, Disk Space, etc.  Basic OID's.  Using GetIF, and other utilities,
doesn't give you the Microsoft detail.  Also doing an SNMP walk only
produces raw data, not detailed at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
