SYMPTOMS
SNMP managers can get information from Windows NT 3.5 SNMP agents only if the community name of the SNMP manager matches the community name of the SNMP agent, or if the community name of the SNMP manager is empty (no community name). However, if an SNMP agent matches the first part of the name sent from the SNMP manager, the SNMP agent incorrectly accepts the SNMP request.

For example, if the community name of the agent and manager are public and public12345 respectively, the SNMP agent incorrectly accepts and responds to the SNMP request.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0.
