check_by_ssh only delivers the first line of output from the command you 
run. From the output above that's an empty line, and that's what's shown 
below. No output is not the same as an empty line.

You'll also need to set up passphrase-less ssh keys to connect to the 
windows machine, since Nagios can't type a password for you. Note that 
you'll need to do that as the nagios user, since that user has no access 
to root's keys.
