    Hello,

    **Sorry, edit again. I just created an ADM template for this. Here's the code
    CLASS MACHINE
    CATEGORY SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters
      POLICY ValidCommunities
      KEYNAME SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities
        PART public NUMERIC
        VALUENAME "public"
        END PART
      END POLICY
    END CATEGORY






    Sorry, edit. I'm trying to set the Community Name rights to READ/WRITE.

    **


    We would like to set the SNMP IP address destination through Group Policy for all of our Server 2008 systems. I looked for this setting in the Server 2008 R2 Group Policy MMC, but there are only settings for the PermittedManagers and Communities.

    Hi,
     Since you're using Server 2008 systems, you can leverage GPO preferences to configure the registry keys directly on target systems rather than creating a custom ADM. Use the following steps for this process:
    1. Manually configure the SNMP settings you want on a single system with GPMC on it.
    2. On the same system, edit a GPO object.
    3. In the GPO, navigate to Computer Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Registry
    4. Right click on Registry and select New, Registry Wizard.
    5. Follow the wizard to the SNMP registry path (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities) and select the keys that should be part of the GPO.

    You can then target the GPO as desired and even use features under the common tab to target specific machines and other features.
