Check_nt requires a Plugin on the Windows Host, So what plugin is on the Windows Host? Nc_net should allow for testing Modified Date via Check_nc_net of both Files or directorys. Windows will report different values for these, and nc_net has options to choose between these. I do not know how this is implemented through the other Windows Plugins. An alternative if you cannot find a plugin to do it, is to write a VB script then send the results via NSCA, or Fetch usin NRPE.
