[search4u2003]

My nagios configuration is working fine for linux environment but when i try to configure windows host and go for nagios test i get below error.

Error: Unable to locate host 'hostname' for service 'C:\ Drive Space'
Error: Could not register service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/web-remote.cfg', starting on line 91)

whereas i have do mentioned the hostname in /etc/hosts file.

I'm able to ping the server and run the command manually.
