I need a way to automatically check to see if something other than pings are getting answered, such as maybe Terminal Services connection requests, maybe once a minute or so, and then have the success/failure data shown to me on a timeline.

Anyone know of a product, or maybe a built-in Windows service, that I can use for this purpose?
The Cricket FAQ suggests that it doesn’t work on Windows. I really need something that runs on Windows Server 2003.
VMWare virtual machine, nigga. Throw linux up on ‘dat bitch. VMWare Server be free honkie.
I know, I’m using VMware Server. I didn’t realize Cricket didn’t need a receiving program running on the target server.

it polls via ICMP and SNMP. It can poll windows boxes just fine (and a slew of other 3rd party products that can’t run the actual cacti/cricket server).

only the server itself must run on a linux "box".

Gotcha.
