I installed version 4.4 of nc_net but it did not create a check_nt executable even though the check_nt.c file exists. Do I have to download the source for this project and compile my own?
That compiles the Linux check_nt processes used on Nagios servers to check Windows servers.
Just download the stock nagios-plugins package (also on sourceforge) on your linux server, and replace its check_nt.c with the NC_NET version, before you configure/make/install nagios-plugins
Great -
Now how do I get a check_nt executable for the windows platform?
Check_nc_net.c can be downloaded here. under downloads, Check_nc_net then April 2009 is the current version.
Check_nt is part of the Official Nagios plugins. you can get this from Nagios official website: http://www.nagios.org/download/plugins
Download and compile the official plugins as per there instructions. then you can replace check_nt.c with check_nc_net.c (I usually add check_nc_Net.c to the folder with the c plugins then use rename.)
Let me know if you need more help

"Now how do I get a check_nt executable for the windows platform?"
WHy do you need check_nt for windows?
NC_Net is the Windows side Plugin that communicates directly with Check_nc_net (or check_nt)
Also for the stock check_nt commands in check_nc_Net any check_nt compatible plugin works, this includes Nsclient,pnsclient,opsys, and nsclient++
as of now, no one has compiled check_nt on windows. some users have compiled check_nt using cigwin but I have not heard of anyone going that path lately. There is a windows command line test console that simulates check_nt communication to NC_Net that is availible under other tools download. however it requires Dot net framework 1.1
