Windows 2003 and SNMP overview:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/bf555774-2d63-4e96-b432-c4b7bcac6b53.mspx

And there are numerous managemetn software packages from MOM 2005, NetIQ, Quest, Tivoli, Unicenter, etc.

Most of them either have an agent, which sends information to a server, or they work totally off the server OS sending a SNMP message to the "trap" which is picked up by scanning from the management server. The implementation varies depending on the product.
