NRPE_NT Install Notes

***
You should at least have the following
nrpe_nt.exe - The nrpe service executable itself
nrpe.cfg - the main config file as with nrpe on ux. Please note that include works, but include_dir will NOT work (yet)...

If you want to use the SSL enabled service, you also need:
ssleay32.dll  
libeay32.dll 

***
- open nrpe.cfg
- edit the allowed_hosts parameter to match the ip of the box running check_nrpe, multiple addressed may be separated by comma as shown.
- add  commands for whatever you would like to test.
- open a command prompt and cd to the dir containing nrpe_nt.exe
- run nrpe_nt -i
	this will install nrpe_nt as a service (of course you will need admin rights for this!)

Now you should find "Nagios Remote Plugin Executor for NT/W2K" in your services list, running as local system and with manual startup.

You should now be able to start the service either from control panel/mmc or by running "net start nrpe_nt".

The Application eventlog will show:
one entry per defined command (if debug output is enabled in nrpe.cfg)
one entry "Starting server thread"
one entry "listening on port xxxx" with xxxx = 5666 if you didn't change the default.

If everything worked out so far, nrpe_nt should be up & running, so you can now run a check_nrpe (2.0) from your nagios host.
