Hello Mike, You indeed have an interesting project here. Was trying to find documentation towards understanding how it works but couldnt make any progress. Am guessing......, You configure a service on the nagios box to call the nagiosnt plugin over nrpe which can then call any other windows machine using wmi. Is this how it works???. Thanks and Regards Mike.
