On one of my SQL Servers SNMP service continuously took nearly 20% of the CPU. Rather than restart the service I took the opportunity to restart the server completely and apply the latest up-to-day. The launch of Windows I got an error message indicating a crash snmp.exe. I first thought about a port problem but errors in the event viewer did not match:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7034
Date: 20/10/2009
Time: 6:52:40 p.m.
User: N / A
Computer: SERVERSQL
Description:
The SNMP Service service ended unexpectedly for the first time.
Finally I discovered that the problem was an extension of the SNMP service installed by my Adaptec RAID controller card. To disable this extension simply run Regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ SNMP \ Parameters \ ExtensionAgents and delete value aussnmp containing the given SOFTWARE \ Adaptec \ RAIDController \ AAC \ CurrentVersion.
This data is apparently he recreated each time you restart the machine, it will therefore be to think of removing the value manually, or simply create a startup script to delete this value automatically.
