Hold on - something's just struck me about this output.

Checking the MSSQLSERVER-MIB definitions,
SNMPv2-SMI::entreprises.311.1.4.1.1.5 is mssqlDbTable, and
SNMPv2-SMI::entreprises.311.1.4.1.1.5.1.2 is mssqlDbName

The table is indexed by a single integer (mssqlDbId), which explains
the next subidentifier (1,2,...6).   But what's that trailing 0 doing?
I'd originally assumed these were scalar objects, but that doesn't
actually seem to be the case.


I now suspect that it's the snmpwalk output which is wrong
(i.e. the agent's handling of GETNEXT requests).

You should *definitely* take this up with Microsoft.
I think their agent implementation is broken.
