SNMP or NSClient

[Rivanor P. Soares]

Hi Folks,

Which one to use to check Windows NT/2K states, like CPU load (single or multi-processors machines), Memory load,  Disk space, Service state, Process state, System uptime, File date & time:
- SNMP or
- NSClient

My customer says that prefered to use SNMP on the clients because SNMP is a protocol, in the full meaning of the word, and then, I could start a snmpd on the Nagios Server. But for administrative reasons, I prefer to use NSClient. It's fully integrated with Nagios.

You all that uses some of this two described above, what do you say? Which one is better?

I really hope for some answers... comments!
Thanks in advance!
