Re: SNMP Monitoring
They are completely different forms of monitoring. Snmp is polling a service that can be installed on windows machines, things move around and it is difficult to monitor things like processes and services without moderately advanced scripting. On the other hand it does not install an agent on they system. I would highly suggest using wmi opposed to snmp as microsoft is deprecating snmp in all new OSes.
NSclient on the other hand, runs a local agent on that windows machine, can query most anything on the system and run local scripts.
