Hello List,
Been a while since I have been able to post on a regular basis due to
being given the opportunity to seek other employment! I have landed,
gracefully, in a position where I have been tasked with designing a
large scale Nagios installation. The requirements are all client

2. Does the script reside in the libexec folder under the nagios user's

Melanie,
I have setup the plugin available here:
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html and it works perfectly for
our needs. It uses SNMP so you would have to have SNMP setup on all of
your Windows boxes but with that caveat it is the best solution I have
found for monitoring windows
You will need to actually download the plugin from
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html as it is not part of the
Nagios plugins package but rather a third party plugin.
