Presuming you are using NS client, I would setup a checkcommand as follows :
# 'check_nt_service' command definition
define command{
	command_name	check_nt_service
	command_line		$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v
SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
	}

Then you service check would be something like this:
# Service definition for Terminal Service Check
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use

        host_name              	    host1
        service_description             Terminal Service
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  nt-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c
        check_command                   check_nt_service!TermService
        }
