Enabling SNMP on Vista
So you can monitor and graph the performance of the box over the network.
The process itself is simple enough, and doesn't even require a reboot of the box.
Start -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off -> SNMP feature
With what I did have a little problem was getting the comunity string on all the right place, so I'll post this screen shots to get a future reference of the process.

Also, make sure to enable the SNMP access thru the Windows Firewall, the vista firewall -using it with the Advanced Security- has a very, very good GUI, and has a ton of config options extra than the XP one.
Now, setting it up and enabling it is one thing, but ITOH, getting the OIDs it is proving to be a royal PITA.
