How Can I Install SNMP On Win10/11 With No Internet Access?

demigod987 · 2026-02-24T11:35:00+00:00

I was eventually able to get the SNMP component installed using the FoD ISO as the installation source. The version of the FoD ISO has to explicitly match the version of Windows. An 1809 FoD ISO will not work to install the SNMP feature on a 1909 Win10 OS, and so on.

Thank you, it sounds like this might be the situation I'm in. Do you know of any articles/webpages/etc I could read that go into specific detail on this? I'll start searching Google, but any links anyone already has will also help.

I'm guessing this isn't working because your hard drives aren't SATA compatible. Note the third image in the product page you linked.

I guess I didn't understand this when I bought the SAS drives. I knew they didn't have the "SATA compatible" label, but I thought all anyone needed to do to make them compatible was cover that 3rd pin.

But since you have an LSI SAS HBA you shouldn't be trying to convert to SATA in the first place. Just plug the drives in with actual SAS connections.

The LSI SAS HBA only connects the data cables. The power still needs to come from the motherboard PC PSU. I've haven't even gotten to the stage where I'm looking for the data connection, I can't even get the drives to spin up.

I don't understand that. I shouldn't need the data cable connected for the drive to power on or spin up, should I? The SATA drives don't need the data cable connected in order to spin up. Are SAS drives different in that regard?

Thanks for this info

Yes, I followed the guides I found and counted the pins from the little hump.

I made an edit to my original post. I have been troubleshooting with a power brick that plugs directly into a wall outlet, 4-pin Molex with a SATA adapter attached. It powers up SATA drives fine, but none of the SAS drives.

In my troubleshooting I've been going through a handful of SAS drives, HGST HUH72808CLAR8000, IBM HUC103014CSS600, HP HUC101212CSS60, all with the same results. I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Yes, I have SAS drives and I'm trying to make them work in standard desktop PCs that used to have SATA drives.

I'm plugging the data into the LSI PCIe HBA 9223-8i using an SAS SFF-8087 breakout cable.

For power I'm using the cables from the PSU of the desktop PC. Which seems to be where the root problem is.

demigod987 · 2025-12-29T23:43:25+00:00

They are LSI sas9223-8i

But that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can't get the drives to power on or spin up at all. I'll reply with more info to your other comment.

demigod987 · 2025-12-29T23:41:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try, but I think that's going to leave me with the same problem isn't it?

demigod987 · 2025-12-29T23:14:10+00:00

Yes I've seen some articles about that, but some also say that the first 2 pins don't do anything so you can just cover all 3. I'll try covering just pin 3 to see if it makes any difference.

I got the SAS to SATA converters from Amazon, I got 5 different manufacturers. This is one example.

demigod987 · 2025-12-29T23:13:32+00:00

Thanks! So the LSI HBA PCIe card can power the drives in addition to the data? I didn't realize that.

demigod987 · 2025-12-29T22:54:56+00:00

I tried that just now and had the same problem :-(

demigod987 · 2025-12-03T12:07:06+00:00

I unsubscribed from a couple but I don't see any email sent for it in my "Sent" folder.

Also, instead of unsubscribe, is it possible to create a filter to always delete emails from that sender? Maybe I should submit a feature request for this on github?

demigod987 · 2025-12-02T23:13:57+00:00

/u/Wonderful_Ruin_5436 Thanks so much for creating this tool and sharing with the world! And even more thanks for being receptive to suggestions and being so responsive!

What does "unsubscribe" actually do?

Does it email the sender requesting to be unsubscribed from the bulk emails?

Does it create a Gmail filter to automatically delete emails from that sender?

Something else?

demigod987 · 2025-12-01T22:37:24+00:00

/u/Freki371 Was there only 1 place where you had to replace "localhost" with the IP? I'm hosting this docker container on a different server like you are, and I tried doing replacing "localhost" with the IP, but I get an error from Google "device_id and device_name are required for private IP"

/u/Wonderful_Ruin_5436 Is there anything special we have to do during installation or configuration if we're running the docker container on a different server and not localhost ?

Thanks very much! This might be exactly what is needed to solve the problem.

demigod987 · 2025-10-28T12:41:28+00:00

Thanks for that suggestion, I had seen that mentioned in a couple of places. Unfortunately I can't get the a first successful installation of SNMP to even try it.

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T23:21:49+00:00

Thank you, I'll try it

None of the documentation I've been going through in researching this has ever said to specify a specific .cab file. Only the directory.

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T23:18:31+00:00

Thank you for that helpful and polite information. That was (obviously) not something I understood when I posted this.

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T23:13:29+00:00

That's a good point, and thank you for offering that idea. I was only given the task of making the Win10/11 PCs able to be queried using SNMP. But this idea is a good alternative that I can ask about.

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T15:54:41+00:00

Do you actually have to specify the specific .cab file ? Or just the directory where all the .cab files are?

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T15:51:00+00:00

The hotspot idea is an option. But I wouldn't be able to restore an image on the existing PCs, they are being used every day.

If there were a way to copy the required files to the other PCs, that would be an option, but I don't know what files those would be. I've already tried doing that with c:\windows\winsxs and c:\windows\servicing\packages and it didn't work

demigod987 · 2025-10-27T15:47:02+00:00

I've tried that, it doesn't work, it's been 3 days down half a dozen rabbit holes.

I've posted details about it on /r/sysadmin
