[Nagiosplug-help] Windows NT Plugin

Hi all,

I'm using nsclient from http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/ to monitor our NT servers.
(CPU Load, Disk usage, running services). I found out that when used
on MP systems, it logs an error to the eventlog like this:
"NSClient Error: PDH.dll Collect CPU - ERROR: 0x800007D6"
every few seconds.

I didn't find anything in the docs or the FAQ except that this means
"A counter with a negative denominator value was detected."
The reporting seems to be accurate, though. Therefore my questions:

Does somebody know how to stop nsclient from reporting those errors ?
(I cannot compile the source here since we do not have Delphi)

Is there another way to monitor NT servers (except from running an snmp
server there) ?

regards
Andreas
