Question

Nagios Windows Monitoring

Asked by: Rigged

Hi

I am setting up a Nagios service monitor server for my Windows Boxes. I have followed the Quickstart guide to get it working on Ubuntu 606 server, and also the online guide to install the NSSclient for the windows server.
All went well and everything seems as if it should be working, but when I look at service details the windows server I had configured can be pinged (showing the server is up) but under the service details it shows "Connection Refused"
I have tried redoing alot of the steps of the setups and googled for possible solutions, but I am coming nowhere.

Any help will be apreciated. I am posting the nsc.ini file that is currently on my windows server, let me know if I should post the other configs.

NSC.ini  On the Windows Server 2003 box:
