Download the client zip file from http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/ and extract to a suitable directory. Copy the Win_2k_XP_bin folder to C:\nagiosAgent Change to C:\nagiosAgent\ and execute the following to install the service: pNSClient.exe /install net start nsagent Be aware that if the server is running windows server 2003, you may need to do the following: Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Settings (the first one under Performance) Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab and add pNSclient.exe as a valid executable (by clicking Add and browsing to it). Once this is done, point your Nagios config at the client, ensure that firewalls etc aren't blocking it and have fun! There's more details on the ready2run site about configuring the system.
