Issue:

Is there a way to check the MD5 of a file in a windows server? I've looked in the Nagios Exchange, but the plugins I've seen are only checking for md5 changes on linux servers. If there is a way, please provide step by step instructions.

Thanks,
Eddie

If there is not a plugin available, you will need to write one unfortunately. I do not know of a way within Windows to natively view MD5. You could always download a third-party app, write a wrapper file to run it, and then display the information in a Nagios-friendly format. You would then need to run this via NRPE.
