A friend of mine recently started assisting with monitoring a new network, 
which included some Windows servers which could not have additional 3rd-party 
software installed. Since he was already using devmon to monitor all the 
network equipment, he started on a template for Windows servers as well.

We haven't had time to finish the template up as much as I would like 
(otherwise it would be in subversion), but the following tests work 
sufficiently for me:

disk
memory
if_load

Other tests which aren't complete yet are:
procs
scvs
cpu

Then, there are some informational tests (installed, system).

Since these are HP servers, the compaq-server Devmon template also came in 
handy (but, highlights a Devmon design problem that I've been thinking about 
for a while ... the ability to use multiple templates per host - in this case 
we just copied all the tests from both templates into one).


There are some changes that might be required on the devmon side, but a lot of 
the OIDs used are generic, and should allow a relatively generic agent-less 
setup (but, not all the extra data collected by Hobbit would necessarily be 
collected).

If you're interested, I will put the microsoft-windowsserver template ...

I also intend to work on some more for AD, maybe Exchange etc.
