They were set that way by netmon, who, for some reason, is not able to
communicate with that box. What you have is a discovery problem and the way to
solve that is to try to figure out why netmon cannot do his job. Modifying the
object properties won't help because config polls will still fail in the future.
I would start by doing an snmpwalk of that box and seeing what you get back.

Subject: [NV-L] Modifying an objects Capabilities
I have 2 Compaq servers installed and configured identical. First shows up
as as up/normal (green) and the second shows up unknown (blue). I have
deleted the second object (stopped netmon, deleted the second from maps,
ovtopofix -a, and restared netmon) and it 're-discoveres' it again as
unknown. After a little deeper investigation, I found that the second has
the "isPC" and "isIP" Capabilities in the Object Description set to false.
I'm not sure what set them but how can I change these?
Thanks all for your help!
