SYMPTOMS
When running the Perfm.bat batch file from the Windows NT resource kit to install SNMP Performance Monitor Agent Extensions, you may receive the error:

Unable to open 'C:\NTRESKIT\LMMIB2MIB'

Also, the Mib.bin file created by this batch file is incorrectly only 23 bytes and Snmputil.exe queries may not work properly.



CAUSE
The batch Perfm.bat file supplied with the Windows NT resource kit to automatically install SNMP Performance Monitor Agent Extensions has various typos and errors that cause it to fail.



RESOLUTION
The following batch file, if run from the NTReskit directory at an MS-DOS prompt inside of Windows NT, should create the correct Mib.bin file and add the Performance Counter Agent Extensions correctly:

@echo off echo "Creating perfmib....." @echo on  perf2mib perfmib.mib perfmib.ini memory 1 memory processor 2 CPU "Network  Segment" 3 net PhysicalDisk 4 disk @echo off echo "Compiling perfmib" @echo on  mibcc -omib.bin -n -t -w2 SMI.MIB LMMIB2.MIB mib_ii.mib perfmib.mib

@echo off echo "Stopping snmp service" @echo on  net stop snmp

@echo off echo "Saving old mib to mib.old...." @echo on  move %systemroot%\system32\mib.bin %systemroot%\system32\mib.old

@echo off echo "Copying perfmib files from NTResKit to system32" @echo on  copy perfmib.dll %systemroot%\system32\perfmib.dll copy perfmib.ini %systemroot%\system32\perfmib.ini copy mib.bin %systemroot%\system32\mib.bin

@echo off echo "Registering new Mibs" @echo on  regini perfmib.reg

@echo off echo "Restarting SNMP Service" @echo on  net start snmp

NOTE: If the SNMP Service causes an access violation when it restarts, restart the computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the resource kits for Microsoft NT Server 4.0 and Workstation 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
To test the results of the batch file above, try the following command using the Snmputil.exe utility from the Windows NT resource kit:

SNMPUTIL get

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.microsoft.software.1.3.1.1.1.1.0

The results should look similar to the following:

>snmputil get 

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.microsoft.software.1.3.1.1.1.1.0

  Variable = .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.microsoft.software.1.3.1.1.1.1.0   Value    = INTEGER - 757760

The above example is the "memory free" OID.
