Trouble is, the NC_Net requires us to install the whole .net framework and
reboot the server - a major outage and the business wont allow it.  They
only just allow the pNSclient because it doesnt require a reboot and has
such a tiny footprint.  .net is a bit of a huge beast.

We do use NSCA for some things -- eg, the windows eventlog agent, and some
UNIX active checks.  However, our entire setup is centrally confingured and
managed, and so this sort of thing again breaks the standard pattern.

I'm having a go at compiling the check_nt under windows, but it requires
some major rewriting for winsock.  Also, I'm trying to arrange some firewall
changes (but thats even less likely to happen :)

Thanks,

Steve
