Still the same error.

nsclient.ini file attached.

Kindly look into it.

This is not the entire config, is it? You are missing many of the default directives...

You can add the missing default entries (if this is the case here) by running the following command from the CMD prompt on the Windows machine:

When i run the above command it gives me the below error:
===============================================================================
C:\Program Files\NSClient++>nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
E client Failed to initialize settings: Failed to save file 'ini://${shared-
path}/nsclient.ini': I/O error: 5: Access is denied.

c:\source\master\service\settings_client.cpp:132

Although i am part of the adminstrators but still i do not have the privileges to modify any file in the C Drive. I can only replace the file.
So if you can help me with the contents of the file, i can create a copy outside the C Drive and replace the actual file in the C Drive.

Do let me know your thoughts.

you need to open cmd.exe by right clicking "run as administrator"

After adding the missing default entries i am getting following error:

"CHECK_NRPE STATE CRITICAL: Socket timeout after 30 seconds."

Any thoughts.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx port 5666: Connection refused
connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 5666: Connection refused

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Earlier i was not getting this error.

Can anyone suggest what to do?

Did you restart the service after making the changes?

Is the windows firewall blocking port 5666?

NS Client++ Service restarted.
