I am looking to monitor the following
distribute file system (dfs)
Network Drive (driven M)
Terminal services
remote desktop services
Can you guys suggest some good plugins for these services.

Builtin - monitor the DFS service and also make sure that DNS is working well with check_dns.

Availability and capacity from a client is easy, you can use the wizard and just select it as a drive letter.

These are kind of the same thing. You could check_tcp port 3389 from a client, or on the server you could just use the wizard and check for the service called termService.
If you are also looking to monitor RDS gateways that's just check_tcp port 443. What am I missing?

Supplementing what jdalrymple said, I found some plugins you might find interesting:
dfs:

Network Drive: Is there a reason you cannot monitor the drive on the host that distributes the shared drive? I am curious because your answer will determine my suggestion.
Terminal Services: I found several plugins for this purpose.

Remote Desktop Services: You can use NSClient to monitor any service on a Windows box, including Remote Desktop Services.
I'm happy to answer your follow up questions. Thanks!

I should have been more specific,What I need is to know how to check that the driver M is always mapped.
Sorry about that.

You should be able to use a WMI query or batch/VBS script to get the data that you want.
If you run this command from the command line on the windows machine it should show you the mapped drives and their status:
Code: Select all
wmic path Win32_MappedLogicalDisk get
Then you would just need to write the logic to parse it.
Or you could modify this VBScript that I've modified to suit your needs:
Code: Select all
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
returnValue = 2
if WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 then
WScript.Echo "Missing parameters"
WScript.Quit(3)
end if
strDrive = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select Name from Win32_MappedLogicalDisk",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
if strDrive = objItem.Name then
returnValue = 0
end if
Next
if returnValue = 0 then
WScript.echo "OK - Drive " & strDrive & ": is mapped"
else
WScript.echo "CRITICAL - Drive " & strDrive & ": is NOT mapped"
end if
WScript.Quit(returnValue)
Then you could call it through check_nrpe and pass in M: as an argument.
