How to configure Nagios to Monitor Windows 2003 server via SNMP

HI

I am new employee in my company and I was tasked to set up nagios 3 to monitor windows 2003 server with SNMP. Nagios is installed on the openSUSe 11.3 version. My boss wants to set up monitoring for the partitions in percentages as well as memory usage. Any idea how to do that

Do you need to do it via SNMP?  The Nsclient for Nagios works fine on Windows 2003 and will monitor partitions and memory.  I only normally use SNMP for devices that cannot run a client.

If you are using SNMP, you'll need the check_snmp_win.pl script, if it's not in the default you can get it here (http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_windows.html), you'll need perl installed and Net::SNMP module

also I need only to monitor Disk usage for 3 partitions as well as memory usage on that particular windows 2003 server so i think above mentioned script will just do the job if i can get it
Right click on the check_disk_snmp and select Save Link As....

yes but can i download that to my Linux box
i am trying to test some plug ins and this one seems worth to try
If you've downloaded it to a PC you need to transfer it to your linux box - use sftp, ftp or SAMBA

Ok I got the script now how do I add that as a service in nagios and configure disk usage monitoring in I believe i have to add it to windows.cfg and commands.cfg.
