My Scom2022 discovered many network devices on the network using snmpv1 and v2, but when I checked the credentials in the content of the device node, 99% of them were GENERIC, which made it impossible to monitor CPU, RAM, LAN, etc. I would like to know how to make the credentials CERTIFIED. Please help, thank you!

    Hi,

    To ensure that your network devices in SCOM 2022 are using CERTIFIED credentials instead of GENERIC ones, you’ll need to configure the appropriate Run As accounts and profiles. Here are the steps to achieve this:

    Create Run As Accounts:

    • For SNMP v1 and v2 devices, create a Run As account that specifies the community string (which acts like a password) for each device.

    Assign Run As Accounts to Profiles:

    Verify and Update Device Configuration:

    • Ensure that the devices are configured to accept the specified SNMP credentials.
    • Update the device configuration if necessary to match the Run As account settings in SCOM.

    Run Network Device Discovery:

    By following these steps, you should be able to configure your network devices with CERTIFIED credentials, enabling comprehensive monitoring in SCOM 2022.

    If you need more detailed guidance, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on Run As Accounts for Network Monitoring in Operations Manager.
