Our Windows guys wrote a powershell script that we call via NRPE from
our nagios server to make sure one of two backup clients is installed
and working, and a separate check to make sure the A/V software we
have licensed is installed and running. We then add that check to all
our monitored windows hosts by adding all the servers to a
Windows-BaseOS Hostgroup. I'm not at liberty to share their code, but
if you know powershell (or any windows scripting language) and are
willing to install/configure NRPE, you can do it for little if any
monetary cost.
