You can allow ICMP packets (with the Window built in firewall that's the File/Printer sharing rule).
If you have NSClient++ installed then you would have ports 5666 or 12489 open. You can use the client version check as an UP/Down check instead of a ping check:
Code: Select all
check_nt -H win2008r2-01 -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION
NSClient++ 0.5.0.17 2015-11-29
or
Code: Select all
check_nrpe -H win2008r2-01
I (0.5.0.17 2015-11-29) seem to be doing fine...

Thanks for the info. I went with just opening up the ability to ping the box from the firewall. Internal machine so no biggy.
Thanks.

Sounds good. Am I good to mark this thread as solved, and close it out?
