Nagios is not really the right tool for this. You should work on 
building a centralized logging infrastructure and have alerting come 
from there.

I think Nagios has on occasion been (ab)used like this, and I think I 
saw something to do this on windows, but I can't remember off the top of 
my head. Have you tried NagiosExchange.org for some windows event 
grepping plugin?
