Tim,
I would drop nrpe_nt on the Windows server because NSClient++ has its own built
in nrpe client. On the linux box you can use either check_nt or check_nrpe.
I use check_nrpe only I do not use check_nt for anything.
Here is an example that I am using both on the Windows machine and the Linux
box.

I had to download an older version of nsclient++ to get the checksystem.dll I
am not sure why they did not include it with the newer version.

Conversation: [Nagios-users] Connecting NRPE_NT and NSClient++
Subject: [Nagios-users] Connecting NRPE_NT and NSClient++
Hi all,
We're in the process of setting up monitoring of our Windows servers
here, and I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the
relationship between NRPE_NT and NSClient++. I've got both installed
on a Windows server and running as services. I can run a basic
'check_nrpe' from our Linux server (the nagios box) to NRPE_NT and
get a response from the Windows machine, but I'm stuck trying to get
NRPE_NT to use one of the built-in NSClient++ checks. It's not clear
how to get NRPE_NT to use one of the NSClient++ modules.
Does anyone have an example they could share?
On a related note, does anyone know why NSClient++ doesn't have a
module called "CheckSystem.dll"? It's one of the ones listed on the
wiki (http://nscplus.medin.name/index.php/CheckCommands), but it
wasn't in the zip file I downloaded.
Thanks.
