I also need to monitor a good number of Windows desktops. All they are switched 
off during the night.

It's not about the ping alerts which I can easily supress, but about the fact 
that even when Zenoss sees these devices are down, it tries without stopping to 
establish a WMI connection there and to poll the SNMP agents. My zenwin.log and 
zenevent.log are full of "WMIFailure: NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE" messages 
coming every couple of seconds. I have thresholds of zenwin, zeneventlog and 
zenperfsnmp cycle times exceeded. In case of exceeded filesystem size 
tresholds, alerts are periodically cleared and appearing again as long as 
devices are switched off and back on.

I wanted to manipulate dinamically the zSnmpMonitorIgnore and zWmiMonitorIgnore 
properties (e.g. from an event transform - 
http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?t=9354), but up to now have not 
succeeded in doing that.

I'd like to have full-blown monitoring of these machines, but at the same time 
I want to overcome somehow the above problems. Could anybody share his 
experience, or advice on the matter?
Thank you in advance.
