Then you should have some basic knowledge about how it works too, but
I guess you just quickskipped to "monitoring windows servers" since the
other stuff wasn't what you wanted right now.

You'd be amazed how many people know how to figure out that "nagios.cfg"
is the main configuration file of Nagios and are also capable of locating
a file on their own server.

It's not, but until you grasp the concept of Nagios not giving a damn
what you name your files and where you put them, so long as you're
consistent with it throughout Nagios, ofcourse, it's impossible to
help you. As such, your question doesn't make sense.

I don't help. I advise and educate. Which do you think gives you the
greatest benefit in the long run?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
