I kept getting invalid syntax errors:

There seems to be an issue with upgrading pip that causes an incompatibility so I figured out an alternate way to get this done.
The yum remove python-pip will generate some errors but that seems to be OK but to fix the pip errors and install the pymssql module, run the following as root. If the install of the pymssql module works, then test running the plugin with an AD username.

I received this error after running the last command:

[root@BURMON001 ~]# pip install pymssql==2.1.1
You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-bOlyOk/pymssql

It looks like the python setuptools needs to be installed. Run this as root to install it. Then try the pip command again.

The install was successful and i was able to install 2.1.1 but now I get a new error message when testing:

18456, "Login failed for user 'SRV-Nagios-Monitor'.DB-Lib error message 18456, severity 14:\nGeneral SQL Server error: Check messages from the SQL Server\nDB-Lib error message 20002, severity 9:\nAdaptive Server connection failed\n

So, it went back to the original failure message.
Any chance you can use just a SQL login account?

That seemed to have worked for one server. Now I am getting other errors for some of the tests.

(No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

(20002, 'DB-Lib error message 20002, severity 9:\nAdaptive Server connection failed\n')

Typically when you see this error is that there is a missing single quote or a double quote is missing. Check the command to verify that they are there.
Also, it there are and special characters in the username or password that would cause the error as well so they would have to be escaped.
This KB article can help on that.

That worked! Thank you so much!

Your very welcome. Glad it helped.
