Thanks Marc. This is definitely good to know. However in my case it doesn't
seem like that is the problem. Here is a segment of the services config
file. If I uncomment the first hostgroup_name line and comment the second it
breaks. As it stands now it works.

define service{
#        hostgroup_name
field-nt-domain-servers,field-nt-file-servers,field-nt-print-servers
        hostgroup_name                  field-nt-domain-servers
        service_description             FIELD NT service McShield 
        check_command                   check_nt_service!McShield

        use                             field-nt-service-template
        }

Porus.
