Awesome, exactly what we where looking for.  I'll give this a whirl.

We are using check_nt to do lots of monitoring and finding more and more
ways to tap into the WMI and monitor even more every day.  Starting to
really get a good picture of the systems we run, thanks to the great Nagios
and helpful addition of check_nt/NSClient combo.
