Both use the Win32ServiceMonitor to check for services running on a windows server via SNMP.

Subject: Re: [opennms-install] Windows Server 2008

Simply meant Windows ports, detecting AD or Exchange etc. Looking for stuff to magically happen out of the box, I don't want  to reinvent the wheel. I noted that jicmp and rrd were packaged separately, but I was using SLES, so had the experience of running into dependency issues, which the goal posts shifted as I got one thing in place. SLES is not that well catered for, tried doing down the compiling route. Debian might be a better option. From Novell background so try stick to that distro where possible. Did not bother with snmp as I didn't like the OpenNMS interface and functionality. I'm looking for a solution that more rounded then this product... I don't do network mgt for a living, it's just a tool.

On linux jicmp/jrrd are packaged separately.   For example on a
yum-based system you would
yum install jicmp jrrd
if you want them installed.

What is a Win port?   It will discover and monitor common services
(http, smtp, etc.) but it is mostly but it is mostly snmp based.  Did
you set up snmp on the target machines?
