The SNMP.exe service on my Windows 2000 server is consuming 50% of the server's CPU. If I stop and restart the service, its usage drops down to a normal level and then back to 50% immediately. Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it? My server is currently up to date with all critical server patches.

snmp.exe: CPU high utilization
- Thread starter arulthas

The SNMP Services do 2 things, The first service responds to SNMP get/set request from a NMS. Also, it will serve as an API bridge to any type of SNMP software on your machine using the API.
The SNMP Trap service will receive traps from SNMP like devices on your network.
I would look at the traffic on your computer, use a net-sniffer, if you see SNMP traffic, than that is probaly your issue.
