Hello.
I need to say if is possible to monitor Windows Computers configured to get IP address from different DHCP Servers.
On HOST definition I can put only a fixed IP.
On these computers I nedd to use CHECK_NRPE service to monitoring some parameters:
CPU usage
DISK usage
....
Thanks for help!

Either set up DNS names that coordinate with your DHCP server to stay updated, or use passive checks whereby the remote machine sends the data to Nagios, instead of Nagios performing the check against the machine.
