I second Matt's recommendation of IPCheck for things like file counts, service uptime, etc. For number of threads, memory used and other process information, you can do that by using Microsoft's perfmib.dll, which is essentially an SNMP proxy for the Performance Counter functionality. Any element you can create a Counter Log for in Perfmon (such as Thread Count for an EXE image) you should be able to also query using SNMP. I'm not sure if perfmib is supported anymore, but it does work. Alternately, you can try SNMP Informant or other third-party "bridges" between PerfMon and SNMP. FTR, I use OpManager for agentless SNMP-based monitoring, while IPCheck is better for its proprietary -- and I find more reliable -- suite of both agent-driven and agentless monitors.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] SNMP / Smarter Mail 4
Michael, Look at IPCheck Server Monitor from Paessler (http://www.paessler.com/ipcheck). You can use server-side programs to feed data such as file counts to the software. The standard SNMP stuff is supported, and that covers most of what you were wondering about. I find the tool to be very useful in making quick determinations about problems and also in terms of scaling my servers. I like this software's interface not because it is the fanciest, but because it is easy to review on a single page where you can see mini-graphs of every sensor over the last several hundred samples, and that shows a good picture of what is going on over a period of time without needing to move from page to page. There are some other solutions out there also for varying prices. MRTG and other open source programs also do similar things if you are comfortable with Linux or at least CYGWIN. I think it's worth the money though to pay for a commercial product and save you time and frustration. Note that since IPCheck Server Monitor saves the full history of samples for querying, it will keep a disk running, so it is best to dedicate a small box to it, and it is also good to put it on reliable bandwidth separate from where your servers are so that you can detect networking issues. It will run just fine on XP.
