If the data is available via SNMP, you can do it with devmon. If not, devmon 
can't help you.

Have you looked at the microsoft-win2k3server template in svn:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/microsoft-
win2k3server/

With the template (and some configuration of Xymon), you should be able to get:
-Graphs of CPU utilisation (per CPU) (I might not have enabled thresholds here 
yet)
-Graphs of disk space utilisation with thresholds
-Graphs of network utilisation per interface (with utilisation)
-Graphs of memory utilisation (just "real" and "swap", this is what is 
available by snmp)
-Services which are running

In future I would like to add per-process resource utilisation - for Unix and 
Windows - (but, this requires some development in devmon).

Additional templates should be possible for any other services that provide 
monitoring information via SNMP, as far as I know, Exchange and MSSQL server 
should be able to.

Of course, you could just use BBWin ...
