SUMMARY

After you install the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service on your Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 or later computer you may receive the following error message:

SNMP Error - Entry point not found.
The procedure entry point SnmpSvcGetEnterpriseOID could not be located in the dynamic link library snmpapi.dll

Event Viewer on your Windows NT computer may also log one or more of the following event messages:

Event ID : 7022
Source : Service Control Manager
Description: The SNMP service hung on starting.

Event ID : 1106
Source : SNMP
Description: The SNMP service is ignoring extension agent dll. C:\winnt\system32\inetmib1.dll because it is missing or misconfigured.

NOTE: If you receive these error messages, the Network Segment counter may not be displayed in Performance Monitor.

CAUSE

The files you install with the SNMP service are from the original Windows NT installation media and are older than the files supplied with the service pack.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, you will need to reapply the latest Windows NT service pack to update all the files.
