Strangely enough, this error message points to where you will find
your problem (or at least the beginning of it anyway).

If you look in /etc/nagios/objects/kfsi/kfsi-hosts.cfg somewhere at
line 181 or soon after you will find a "use" directive.  This is
trying to use a template called "windows-desktop" which you have not
defined properly anywhere.

Have a look in /etc/nagios/global/templates/templates.cfg and if you
can't find the template, then define one.  You can probably copy
another host template which is already in that file.

If, however, you think the template is already there, you might find
you've forgotten to put "register 0" to indicate it's a template, and
you might also have put "host_name windows-desktop" which would be
wrong for a template definition.  It should be "name windows-desktop".
 Without seeing your actual files I can't say for sure.

If you're still stuck, please post the relevent parts of
/etc/nagios/objects/kfsi/kfsi-hosts.cfg and
/etc/nagios/global/templates/templates.cfg so we can see where the
problem lies.

hth,

Jim
