Sad but true, that is all that I monitor right now, and it's all done with simple NSClient stuff so there is nothing special about that. It seems to me that the most competent Windows monitor agent today is NRPE_NT but I can't say for sure cause I haven't looked into it as deep as I need to. NRPE_NT needs some heavy scripts and configuration to do wonders as I understand. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Quit true. </pre> </blockquote> Once you have NRPE_NT installed once with all relevant services, then you have the recipie to install to all your other windows boxen. You could write a simple batch file to: 1. Copy files to a standard location 2. Set up the NRPE_NT service 3. Any other post installation tasks You don't need an MSI installer to do that, it's about 8 lines of a batch file. rob. </body> </html>
