Help with Monitoring Windows Machines

[Rick Knight]

I've installed Nagios and have it working to monitor my linux localhost 
without problems, so I tried to add a Windows server to monitor. I 
followed the instructions in Nagios Documentation, Monitoring Windows 
Machines. After installing and starting NSClient++ on the Windows 
machine and making the changes to /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg and 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg I tried verifying the 
configuration with /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg. I get this error...

Nagios 3.0b3

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching 'allhosts' (config file 
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 25)
Error: Hostgroup has no members (config file 
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 47)

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config 
files...

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

I get this on 2 linux PCs configured similarly. I've re-read the 
instructions and I've got everything correct.

Why am I getting this error?

Thanks,
Rick
