I've thrown in a reply there to see if we can get some help on it, with direct links to how it works so it can be easy for him to understand.

Hopefully we can dig up a resolution of some sort :)

Cheers,

Based on your nsclient config your client would only accept connections via ssl, this could be confirmed by trying to connect without the -s option with check_nrpe

the reporting in the log file may differ based on the different client setups but if you cant connect to the 192.168.0.4 (server 2008 server) without the -s 1 option you should rest assured you have configured it properly


Also good to see a fellow Australian, Victorian and hopefully hawthorn supporter on here, maybe we should form a Nagios Austrlian user group Box293? maybe you could organise it in your spare time?
Looking forward to seeing you all at #NagiosCon2019?

if you wanted to confirm 100% do a packet capture on the windows server and you should see the encrypted traffic
