How to monitor specific windows services using nsclient++

[Manish Kumar]

Thanks Benny,..but still i couldn't understand is check_nrpe is used for
monitoring windows servers because what i know it's for monitoring remote
linux servers only.. If yes do i need to install check_nrpe on my Nagios
Server..

Also i am already monitoring these basic things but i want to monitor
specific services for e.g say mssql running or down..Similarly other
important windows services...


Thanks..
