Probably, GPO would control the option. Try rsop.msc from your dos prompt. You will see actual GPO policy was applied.
Under /Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates/Network/SNMP
# Communities Enabled [Name of GPO]
# Permitted Managers Enabled [Name of GPO]
If you want to add ore remove ‘community’ or ‘Permitted Managers’, edit registry below value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\ValidCommunities HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\SNMP\Parameters\PermittedManagers
You might need to gpupdate or reboot the system.
