In our organization, we have +/- 250 pcs, with roughly 30 of them behind a router / t1 connected to a different physical location. We have had no issues with network discovery on the local subnet, but not a single pc is discovered at the remote location. There are no connectivity issues. In fact I have manually installed SMS across the network on a couple of these remote pc's, only to have the install remove itself shortly thereafter. The subnets are setup in discovery options and I can't find any other reason for the failure. Any ideas?
 
Actually, I figured it out a week or so ago. The issue was with the routers. Both local and remote routers had snmp disabled, which I assume was keeping sms from getting the subnet from the devices on the other end. Once I opened up the snmp everything came to life.
 
what do u mean by snmp was disabled? the routers could pass snmp protocols though they could not be managed using snmp. i just want to make sure if the whole protocol was disabled from passing through routers or snmp was disabled on the router so it couldnt be mananged. thank you.
