I can not retrieve information from my Windows 2003, but it works fine with XP.
What can be reason?

I always have:
SNMP error

You need to add the collection machine to the snmp tab on the 2003 machine you wnat to monitor.

Ok on the server that you want to monitor goto Administrative Tools>Services and scroll down to snmp service, right click snmp service and choose properties. Once inside the properties click the Security tab. From here you can assign the community string for Read only/write...etc and just under that there is an option to either "accpet snmp packets from any host" or "accept snmp packets fromt these hosts". In server 2003 the second option is set by default. You need to add the ip or hostname of your cacti machine and then you should be good to go and make sure you have the correct community name as you can set multiple ones depending on your setup.
