Hello friends, how are you?
Can you please clarify a question regarding installing clients on windows 64bits machines?
1 - Do not find NCPA .exe for Windows 64 Bit on the website: https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/#downloads
- Does 32-bit NCPA work on 64bit windows?
- Is it compatible with versions 7.8 and 10 and Windows Server 08.12 and 16?
2 - Install NSClient and have doubts if it is correct to enter a password or leave it blank.
- Entering an "NSClient - ERROR: Invalid Password" error password on some services.
- Leaving an NSClient password blank on installation, I have errors below on some services:
NSClient - ERROR: No performance data from command: check_cpu
NSClient - ERROR: No performance data from command: check_memory
NSClient++ Version OK NSClient++ 0.5.2.35 2018-01-28
NSClient - ERROR: No performance data from command: check_uptime
Unknown command(s): check_service
- No NSClient installation process is required to enter a password or can it be left blank?

Re: NCPA and NSClient questions
Hello,
1. You can use the 32 bit version on 64bit Windows and I'm not aware of any incompatibilities issues for the various releases of Windows and Windows Server. Here's a link to the installation instructions.
NCPA Agent Installation Instructions
2. You'll need to enter a password and the IP address of the allowed hosts. I highly recommend following the exact steps in our installation guide for NSClient. This is for Nagios XI but can be used for Core as well.
Installing The Windows Agent: NSClient++
Let us know if you have any other questions.

1 - Thanks for the guidance, you will test later.
2 - Yes, when installing NSClient on client machines it is necessary to enter a password. Just supplementing the information, you must also enter -s and the password in the commands.cfg file in all check_nt commands as shown below:
define command {
command_name check_nt
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s Passwd -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

Hello,
From the Nagios server, try running the following check command for NSCLient. If it fails, please post the error output.
