What does your check_nt_service command definition look like? What
happens if you run that command as the nagios user from the command
line, filling in all the appropriate variables? If you're using
check_nt, I suspect that the check is being truncated to "Microsoft".
You may need to put the service description in quotes in your command
definition (i.e. "$ARG1$"). A caveat here is that I'm not familiar with
checking services via check_nt so I'm not sure if your nameing
convention is even right. I usually use -v PROCSTATE to check individual
processes.
