Is it possible to monitor Windows server and get an email whenever a certain set of users log into the servers?
Windows server is being monitored through NSClient++. What are chances if we use SNMP or WMI ?

As long as you can script it, NSClient can monitor and send the results to Nagios. Do you already have a script or anything that can look for that user being logged in?

I do not have a script ready for this.

Windows Event Logs would be where you would find the info.

Have a look at this guide:

Perhaps Nagios Log Server is a better solution for this:
