Awesome,

Thanks for the response.
I'm a total novice when it comes to Nagios so I'm going to be figuring this out for  a while :)

Yes, the host check can be anything you like.  Something like check_nt -V client_version would do the trick (forgive me if my syntax isn't quite right - going from memory).

You could alternatively do an snmp query of the switch port the host is connected to, but that's a bit complicated I guess.
