<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>On
the subject of Nsclient and monitoring Windows servers I was wondering if
anybody has got Nsclient monitoring Windows 2000 SP3 performance monitors
reliably. We are using Nagios V1.0 and Plugins 1.3.0.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>If
anybody is then please let me know - then I can assume I am doing something
wrong.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>I
accept that you can install other SNMP counters etc, but I am trying to make
network monitoring as easy as possible - with as fewer clients installed on
servers. I have included a sample check command below.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>I'd
be greateful of any help !!</span></font> <br>
