as mentioned in your other thread, NCPA is a popular agent and can perform all of this

Once you install the agent on the remote system you can run the NCPA wizard

I don't have one of those servers, I did mention I found others on the internet that had the same issue.

Sure, let me get some test system to install NCPA and then test them with all services to monitor and confirm you.
