nsclient 0.3.6-RC4-x64 issues

[Frater, Greg J]

Have you checked the firewall settings in 2008?  If they have been
enabled then they will block the nsclient++ exe from communicating on
the network unless you tell the firewall to let nsclient++ traffic
through.  That's the next thing I would check.

Good luck,

Well, just started with Nagios, and I am using one of the windows.cfg
templates with NSClient++ installed on the Windows Server 2008x64 boxes.

I am using check_nt and the port/pass is correct for WinXP machines, but
the same ini on the 2008 machines doesn't work. Given Nagios suggests a
socket error, I suspect it is probably some bug in the x64 client on the
2008 machines...

In the meantime, since I am just starting out, I have been reading up on
snmp as that is how I am preferring to do my monitoring rather than have
to install any applications.
