Do you mean the function of a DHCP server that is providing address
leases to Windows client ?

Or a DHCP server that happens to be running on a Windows host ?

In either case, you can check the service with a plugin that simulates a
client leasing an address.

The contrib/check_dhcp plugin, contributed by Mr Galstad, works fine
providided your Nag/Netsaint monitor is Linux, because IIRC it uses
headers that are Linux specific.

However, if you search the archives you may find mention of at least two
multi-platform Perl plugins that should work anywhere you can run Perl.


HTH,

Yours sincerely.
