in therory the plugin from exchange.nagios would work, except the website that has the 2 other part that is needed, doesn't exist anymore This plugin relied on two specific pieces to work properly if at all: NC_Net (http://http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/) on the client and check_nt (http://www.shat...
