check_nc_net and WMICHECK

[Boyer, Timothy A.]

I've got a couple of registry values on a bunch of Windows servers that I want to track and see if and when they get changed.  And being a good sysadmin, I'm trying to be lazy. :)

I'm sure it's possible - probably trivial - to write a small script that I could put on the Windows boxes and do so and report back to NC_Net, but it would be much easier - since the boxes allready have NC-Net on them - to do it once on the Nagios box.

So the WMICHECK way of doing it is either to use RegistryKeyChangeEvent - the preferred way; it would catch any registry change - or StdRegPRov and GetMultiStringValue, and store and compare it on the host side.  But I'm having problems getting either of them to work.

What are you trying to check?

I'm mean, you look like you are trying to get some basic WMI queries working so that you can check something?

What is it you are trying to check, maybe there is some other way to do it
