I tested using the NC_NET on Windows 2003 and 2000. There is one tweek that needs to be done for

Under windows 2000 you will need to remoe the -s localhost from the strCmd variable.

Important this script requires the Microsoft tool:
dumpel.exe and it need to be in the same folder as the script is in!

The syntax is simple:

From nagios do:
./check_nt -H server10 -t 50 -v RUNSCRIPT -l "cscript.exe //nologo C:PROGRA~1NC_Netscriptcheck_events.vbs -t System -e 4097> -s DrWatson

I add also perfdata so you can graph it.

Hope its usefull for someone out there
