For sake of simplicity here is how I have things setup on my nagios server.
I am running nsclient++ on all my windows servers with the included nsc.ini.
On the Nagios Box I am using check_nrpe
I am checking these things for each server
C Drive
CPU
D Drive
Paged Memory
Physical Memory
Planar Temp
Processor Temp
Virtual Memory
Here are the commands for each one.

Sorry, yes, you are right. I meant the nagios server, with the
"clients" being windows servers running nagios client.
I've managed to get my head around the nagios services and commands
enough to know that I am missing something :)
I will say though, for the sake of google, that nagios would be far more
accessible if it came with a web based configuration util out of the
box.

Your use of the word "server" is way too confusing for my little brain.
I'm monitoring windows servers from a linux server... Nuff said on
that...
So, on the Nagios box, you'll need both the nagios plugins
(http://nagiosplug.sf.net) and NRPE (http://www.nagios.org/download/)
installed.
Use of the NSCPlus modules is documented at
http://nscplus.medin.name/index.php/CheckCommands
Basic familiarity with nagios commands and services should be enough to
get you started, but also have a look at the NSCPlus Help forum over at
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=131326.
Cheers,
Phil
