I would like to be able to quickly pull SNMP information via commandline such as device uptime. I noticed Net-SNMP's snmpget.exe can do this; but it looks like I need to install Net-SNMP first before I can use that executable.

Isn't there any way to make this executable portable? When I simply copy it to another machine and try to execute it, it complains that netsnmp.dll is missing. If I copy that file to the same folder, it still says the file is missing. I even tried to regsvr32 that dll, but I was unsuccessful.

Maybe there's a better way to get simple SNMP information from the Windows command line using royalty free/non-commercial software?

Edit: It looks like I may be able to answer my own question.

    So, you're not willing to install software... you do realise that SNMPGet.exe counts as software, and that you need to install it before you can use it... right? – womble Jul 08 '12 at 05:15

Windows does not come with a default SNMP client, so you would have to install software. I recommend the Net-SNMP suite.
