SNMP or NSClient

[David Clack]

Hi,
 This is a tad off topic. I use NSclient as I don't know how to check
CPU load, disk states etc.. on windows servers via SNMP.
All I know how to do is system uptime & the like.
Could you point me to any docs that show up to use SNMP to check more on a
Windows server.
I use standard snmp that comes with windows & net-snmp on nagios box.
Cheers,
Dave.
