The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Microsoft Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) under
Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0, the following objects are added to Performance
Monitor:

  ICMP
  IP
  Network Interface
  TCP
  UDP

When you remove SNMP, the objects added to Performance Monitor during
installation are not removed, and continue to be available.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. The objects are not removed in order to preserve the
integrity of the performance monitor counters.
