The Traps for public community machine setting should be configured correctly. This setting allows Trap configuration for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent. Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol designed to give a user the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. This setting allows you to configure the name of the hosts that receive trap messages for the community sent by the SNMP service. A trap message is an alert or significant event that allows the SNMP agent to notify management systems asynchronously. If you enable this setting, the SNMP service sends trap messages to the hosts within the "public" community. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the SNMP service takes the Trap Configuration configured on the local computer instead. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\SNMP\Traps for public community (2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration\public
