Given the choice IMO, disabling SNMP on the copier outweighs the benefits you get from having it enabled. Luckily the Savin copiers I'm working with today function fine without it. Disabled on the copier, disabled on the print server queue. Settings up Microsoft SNMP Service on Windows 7 locally and remotely is something that many admins need to do in their network environments in order to monitor all desktops in their network properly using SNMP. In order to do this, Windows 7 SNMP Service needs to be installed and configured in order to allow Network monitoring and management software to poll them in order to get information. Windows 7 If you just want to kill it change the snmptrap service startup to disabled via the kace 1000 HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet services SNMPTRAP.
In previous Windows versions, I could install the SNMP feature, which allowed network monitoring software to remotely gather basic system information from Windows. I haven't been able to find anything like that in Windows 10. Am I missing something, or has Microsoft finally ditched SNMP in favour of WMI?

Its in the 'Turn Windows Features On or OFF' list in Control Panel> Programs and Features, it uninstalled by default but can be added.
EDIT: It appears SNMP has been deprecated in Windows 10 1809
See this list of changes in Server 2012 It was deprecated back in August 2016, so it was just a matter of time before it is for all Windows platforms.
There is a suggested workaround to install SNMP on 1809 in a link in one of my comments, but I have not tested it.

The Microsoft TechNet wiki page titled 'How to Install SNMP Remotely' authored by Andrew Karmadanov has incredible amount of detail on how to install the SNMP service. This answer is a copy-and-paste of the relevant parts of Andrew's wiki page. Note that the Windows SNMP agent does not support v3, see this for more info: https://serverfault.com/questions/818237/is-snmp-v3-supported-in-windows-server-2016/818472.
1.1 Install - Graphical
Start->Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows Features on or off->Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)->WMI SNMP Provider->Enable checkbox.
1.2 Install - Command-line
For Windows 10,
Run cmd.exe as administrator. From the elevated command prompt, type:
In Windows 10, the user interface is 'hidden' in the services.msc Properties of the SNMP Service itself. For more info, see this Paessler THe Network Monitoring Company Knowledge Base page for details.
All the SNMP settings are stored in registry, which makes this task a bit easier. The settings we need to configure are shown below.
EnableAuthenticationTraps, NameResolutionRetries, sysContact, and sysLocation are just registry values. We can leave them untouched. ValidCommunities, PermittedManagers, and TrapConfiguration are way more important. They define what systems can communicate to the host via SNMP

3.1 ValidCommunities
The ValidCommunities key contains the list of SNMP communities and permissions. It looks like
The access rights have the following values:
For example:
3.2 PermittedManagers
How To Disable Snmp Windows 7
The PermittedManagers key contains the list of hosts, which can query or update a host via SNMP. It is a numbered list of names or IP addresses. For example:
3.3 TrapConfiguration
The TrapConfiguration key is a list of subkeys, one per community names. In turn every subkey contains a list of hosts, to which the traps will be sent. For example:
Note: Community names are case-sensitive

If you have Windows 10 1809 OS build 17763.xxx, you can find SMTP in: Settings(windows settings) --> Apps --> Apps & Features --> Manage optional feature --> Add Feature and than find it in the list.
You must have an internet connection to install this feature.

Whether or not to use SNMP is pretty much a personal choice. The bottom line is whether the information you are getting via SNMP is useful and unique (i.e. you can *only* get it from SNMP and you need that info to manage things efficiently/effectively). Just be aware that there are security risks if it's not configured properly.

Disable Snmp Windows 7
Regardless of whether you use it or not, here's a good post on how to configure it:

Since it can be managed through registry settings, this is a prime candidate for policy enforcement (scripts) via the K1000. Just figure out what registry setting you want to have in place, then go to Scripting > Configuration Policy > Enforce Registry Settings to setup your enforcement script.
Hope that helps!
