check_nt configurations/setup

[Bobby Bradshaw]

I changed the nrpe listening port to 1250, because I read somewhere
that MS Exchange uses port 1248.  So, I opened tcp port 1250 on both
the nagios server and the windows xp host.  I edited nrpe.cfg - the
listening port to 1250 and added the xp host ip to allowed_hosts
section.  I added the following to command.cfg:

command[check_nt_disk]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1250 -v
USEDDISKSPACE -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
command[check_nt_cpuload]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1250 -v
CPULOAD -l $ARG1$
command[check_nt_uptime]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1250 -v UPTIME
command[check_nt_service]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -P 1250 -v
SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
command[check_nt_memuse]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1250 -v
MEMUSE -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Also, I have NOT edited checkcommands.cfg, because I don't know if I
have to and not sure what to put in there if I do have to.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong or if there is extra steps
to be taken.
Thanks!
