How to install the SNMP service on Microsoft Hyper-V R2

Another quick post/reminder to myself. I’ve been experimenting with the idea of using Cacti to monitor the performance of my Hyper-V servers, so i needed SNMP on my HyperV machines. However there is no UI to add that feature into the core installs. So, to install SNMP on HyperV R2, use the following command line

start /w ocsetup SNMP-SC

That’s it!

How to remove HyperV from a Domain

Just a quick post. Today i’m transitioning from my old win2k3 domain, to a new Windows 2008 R2 Domain. In moving my HyperV servers, i found i couldĀ not disjoin them from the domain, but found this quick tip to force it off the domain

netdom remove %computername% /domain:%userdomain% /force

Thats it!
