Sorry about the lack of info:
I've turned on log debugging and it produced the following:
2012-01-29 09:39:03: debug:NSClient++.cpp:1106: Injecting: CheckVersion:
2012-01-29 09:39:03: debug:NSClient++.cpp:1142: Injected Result: OK '0.3.8.75 2010-05-27'
2012-01-29 09:39:03: debug:NSClient++.cpp:1143: Injected Performance Result: ''
2012-01-29 09:39:15: error:modules\NRPEListener\NRPEListener.cpp:393: Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow_arguments option).
2012-01-29 09:39:15: error:modules\NRPEListener\NRPEListener.cpp:365: NRPEException: Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow_arguments option).
In the above case the Nagios command issued was:
./check_nrpe -H <server IP> -p 5666 -c CheckUpTime -a MinWarn=1d MinCrit=12h
I'm aiming to get to a point where for all Windows machines (Servers and PCs) I have a default check template of:
NSClient++ version
Uptime
CPU Load
Memory Usage
Disk Usage (all partitions)
Explorer process is running.
In the NSC.ini file, the following have all been uncomment:
FileLogger.dll
CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
NSClientListener.dll
NRPEListener.dll
SysTray.dll
CheckEventLog.dll
CheckHelpers.dll
CheckWMI.dll
;
; Script to check external scripts and/or internal aliases.
CheckExternalScripts.dll
Also:
allowed_hosts=<Nagios Server IP Address>
Regards,
Rab.

Yes, it is rather.

Does the nsclient.log file contain anything interesting?
There are umpteen ways to configure NSClient++ and run checks against it.
What specific checks are you trying to run and how are you running them?
