Hi!

I'm confused, which is next step for monitoring a machine with windows server 2003?, i have Zabbix v1.4 in Debian etch,

Thanks

You should install the agent on the windows 2003 server and then add the server as a host in zabbix. If you choose the Windows template when adding the host you will get most of the regular monitoring items. This is all covered in the manual. If you have any problems with specific steps feel free to post.

The agent install happens on the windows 2003 server not in linux.

1. Install the agent on the windows 2003 server (you will need the ip address of the zabbix server)

2. Connect to the zabbix server frontend (web site) from any web browser

3. follow the steps in section 6.4 of the manual (beginning on page 123) to add the window 2003 server as a new host (I suggest you start with the windows template)
