-->

For checking SNMP in Windows OS Go to Start- Settings- Control Panel-Administrative Tools- Services Check for SNMP Service. If SNMP Service does not exist, install SNMP. Because of security issues with any version prior to SNMP v3, our servers get flagged and it's something that we need to fix. So, having said all that, does Windows Server 2016 support SNMPv3. Oh, and I also installed Windows Server 2016 in my test environment and SNMP is still available.

Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

This article describes how to enable and disable Server Message Block (SMB) version 1 (SMBv1), SMB version 2 (SMBv2), and SMB version 3 (SMBv3) on the SMB client and server components.

While disabling or removing SMBv1 might cause some compatibility issues with old computers or software, SMBv1 has significant security vulnerabilities and we strongly encourage you not to use it.

Disabling SMBv2 or SMBv3 for troubleshooting

We recommend keeping SMBv2 and SMBv3 enabled, but you might find it useful to disable one temporarily for troubleshooting. For more information, see How to detect status, enable, and disable SMB protocols on the SMB Server.

In Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012, disabling SMBv3 deactivates the following functionality:

  • Transparent Failover - clients reconnect without interruption to cluster nodes during maintenance or failover
  • Scale Out - concurrent access to shared data on all file cluster nodes
  • Multichannel - aggregation of network bandwidth and fault tolerance if multiple paths are available between client and server
  • SMB Direct - adds RDMA networking support for high performance, with low latency and low CPU use
  • Encryption - Provides end-to-end encryption and protects from eavesdropping on untrustworthy networks
  • Directory Leasing - Improves application response times in branch offices through caching
  • Performance Optimizations - optimizations for small random read/write I/O

In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, disabling SMBv2 deactivates the following functionality:

  • Request compounding - allows for sending multiple SMBv2 requests as a single network request
  • Larger reads and writes - better use of faster networks
  • Caching of folder and file properties - clients keep local copies of folders and files
  • Durable handles - allow for connection to transparently reconnect to the server if there's a temporary disconnection
  • Improved message signing - HMAC SHA-256 replaces MD5 as hashing algorithm
  • Improved scalability for file sharing - number of users, shares, and open files per server greatly increased
  • Support for symbolic links
  • Client oplock leasing model - limits the data transferred between the client and server, improving performance on high-latency networks and increasing SMB server scalability
  • Large MTU support - for full use of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
  • Improved energy efficiency - clients that have open files to a server can sleep

The SMBv2 protocol was introduced in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, while the SMBv3 protocol was introduced in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. For more information about SMBv2 and SMBv3 capabilities, see the following articles:

How to detect status, enable, and disable SMB protocols on the SMB Server

For Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012

Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 introduced the new Set-SMBServerConfiguration Windows PowerShell cmdlet. The cmdlet enables you to enable or disable the SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 protocols on the server component.

Note

When you enable or disable SMBv2 in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, SMBv3 is also enabled or disabled. This behavior occurs because these protocols share the same stack.

You don't have to restart the computer after you run the Set-SMBServerConfiguration cmdlet.

SMB v2/v3 on SMB Server
  • Detect:

  • Disable:

  • Enable:

For Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008

To enable or disable SMB protocols on an SMB Server that is running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, use Windows PowerShell or Registry Editor.

PowerShell methods

Note

This method requires PowerShell 2.0 or later version of PowerShell.

SMBv1 on SMB Server

Detect:

Default configuration = Enabled (No registry key is created), so no SMB1 value will be returned

Disable:

Enable:

Note You must restart the computer after you make these changes.For more information, see Server storage at Microsoft.

SMBv2/v3 on SMB Server

Detect:

Disable:

Enable:

Note

You must restart the computer after you make these changes.

Registry Editor

Important

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

To enable or disable SMBv1 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters

Snmp

To enable or disable SMBv2 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters

Note

You must restart the computer after you make these changes.

How to detect status, enable, and disable SMB protocols on the SMB Client

For Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

Note

When you enable or disable SMBv2 in Windows 8 or in Windows Server 2012, SMBv3 is also enabled or disabled. This behavior occurs because these protocols share the same stack.

SMBv1 on SMB Client

Check Windows Server Snmp Version

Note

  • You must run these commands at an elevated command prompt.
  • You must restart the computer after you make these changes.

Disable SMBv1 Server with Group Policy

This procedure configures the following new item in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters

  • Registry entry: SMB1
  • REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled

To use Group Policy to configure this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that should contain the new preference item, and then click Edit.

  2. In the console tree under Computer Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the Windows Settings folder.

  3. Right-click the Registry node, point to New, and select Registry Item.

In the New Registry Properties dialog box, select the following:

  • Action: Create
  • Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • Key Path: SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters
  • Value name: SMB1
  • Value type: REG_DWORD
  • Value data: 0

This procedure disables the SMBv1 Server components. This Group Policy must be applied to all necessary workstations, servers, and domain controllers in the domain.

Note

WMI filters can also be set to exclude unsupported operating systems or selected exclusions, such as Windows XP.

Important

Be careful when you make these changes on domain controllers on which legacy Windows XP or older Linux and third-party systems (that don't support SMBv2 or SMBv3) require access to SYSVOL or other file shares where SMB v1 is being disabled.

Disable SMBv1 Client with Group Policy

To disable the SMBv1 client, the services registry key needs to be updated to disable the start of MRxSMB10 and then the dependency on MRxSMB10 needs to be removed from the entry for LanmanWorkstation so that it can start normally without requiring MRxSMB10 to first start.

This guidance updates and replaces the default values in the following two items in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesmrxsmb10

Registry entry: Start REG_DWORD: 4= Disabled

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanWorkstation

Registry entry: DependOnService REG_MULTI_SZ: 'Bowser','MRxSmb20″,'NSI'

Note

The default included MRxSMB10 which is now removed as dependency.

To configure this by using Group Policy, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the GPO that should contain the new preference item, and then click Edit.

  2. In the console tree under Computer Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the Windows Settings folder.

  3. Right-click the Registry node, point to New, and select Registry Item.

  4. In the New Registry Properties dialog box, select the following:

    • Action: Update
    • Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    • Key Path: SYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesmrxsmb10
    • Value name: Start
    • Value type: REG_DWORD
    • Value data: 4
  5. Then remove the dependency on the MRxSMB10 that was disabled.

    In the New Registry Properties dialog box, select the following:

    • Action: Replace
    • Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    • Key Path: SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanWorkstation
    • Value name: DependOnService
    • Value type: REG_MULTI_SZ
    • Value data:
      • Bowser
      • MRxSmb20
      • NSI

    Note

    These three strings will not have bullets (see the following screen shot).

    The default value includes MRxSMB10 in many versions of Windows, so by replacing them with this multi-value string, it is in effect removing MRxSMB10 as a dependency for LanmanServer and going from four default values down to just these three values above.

    Note

    When you use Group Policy Management Console, you don't have to use quotation marks or commas. Just type each entry on individual lines.

  6. Restart the targeted systems to finish disabling SMB v1.

Auditing SMBv1 usage

To determine which clients are attempting to connect to an SMB server with SMBv1, you can enable auditing on Windows Server 2016, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2019. You can also audit on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 if the May 2018 monthly update is installed, and on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 if the July 2017 monthly update is installed.

  • Enable:

  • Disable:

  • Detect:

When SMBv1 auditing is enabled, event 3000 appears in the 'Microsoft-Windows-SMBServerAudit' event log, identifying each client that attempts to connect with SMBv1.

Summary

If all the settings are in the same GPO, Group Policy Management displays the following settings.

Testing and validation

After completing the configuration steps in this article, allow the policy to replicate and update. As necessary for testing, run gpupdate /force at a command prompt, and then review the target computers to make sure that the registry settings are applied correctly. Make sure SMBv2 and SMBv3 are functioning for all other systems in the environment.

[SNMP is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Windows Remote Management, which is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Man.]

Purpose

The Microsoft Windows implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to configure remote devices, monitor network performance, audit network usage, and detect network faults or inappropriate access.

Important

The Microsoft Windows SNMP API only supports protocol versions up to SNMPv2C. It does not support any later versions of the protocol.

Where applicable

SNMP uses a distributed architecture consisting of management applications and agent applications. The SNMP service implements an SNMP agent. To use the information the SNMP service provides, you must have at least one host that is running an SNMP management application. You can use third-party SNMP management software, or you can develop your own SNMP management software application. The following APIs are available for this purpose:

  • SNMP Management API, a set of functions that can be used to quickly develop basic SNMP management systems
  • WinSNMP API, version 2.0, a set of functions for encoding, decoding, sending, and receiving SNMP messages

Additionally, the SNMP Extension Agent API defines the interface between the SNMP service and third-party SNMP extension agent DLLs. The SNMP Utility API functions can be used to simplify the processing of SNMP messages.

Developer audience

The APIs listed in the preceding section are designed for use by C/C++ programmers. Familiarity with SNMP and SNMPv2C, as well as a working knowledge of networking and network management concepts, are required.

Run-time requirements

For more information about the operating system required to use a particular function, see the Requirements section of the reference page for that function.
