I'm not aware of any existing method to monitor Windows clients by proxy via their Domain Controller. You MIGHT be able to build something, but it would be a bunch of work.

If you create a domain service account with Admin privs, or the required privs listed in the forum (search for discussions on limited priv zenoss accounts), you'll be able to use Ping Monitoring (assuming you're not dropping pings internally) and WMI. You would need to enable SNMP for the SNMP data from each individual computer. In your case, I'd try one of the WMI Zenpacks rather than installing Informant on all Windows clients.

So, to summarize, you'd need to enable / install SNMP on each Windows client you want to fully monitor. You may be able to deploy this with your software deployment tools, or using Group Policy.
