Hi Mike,
we did some monitoring of BE using WMI. We first did it by using NRPE 
calling a VB-Script which itself pulled the information out of WMI and 
- IIRC -  some Textfiles. This approach did work, but was neither simple 
nor stable. One showstoper was, that WMI did not always work as 
expected. The scond was, that the NRPE-service on the Windowsbox tends 
to get overused and dies.

Bottomline: We now integrate NSCA into our Nagios-system and try to 
receive and evaluate the SNMP-traps send by BE.

hth, Ingo.
