I always test MLM systems with the NetView MIB Browser to ensure that I
can read MIBs from down the MLM part of the tree. Also test that you can
do SNMP SETs - this is crucial as it is used to configure the MLM. I
generally test SETs with something noddy like sysContact in MIB-2. If
this doesn't work, don't even think of using MLM until you have got your
community names sorted.

This is asking for the MLM logfile - looks fine.

This is checking for Program Version of the SIA, which was never produced
for Windows but which NetView still tends to check for. Shouldn't be an
issue.
