At Zenoss we are working on a project to improve the reliability, performance and features of native Windows monitoring. The core of this project is this Python library for asynchronously managing Windows using the WinRM and WinRS services. This library will then be used by Zenoss to do automatic discovery and monitoring the way Zenoss users are used to with some new possibilities.

Right now we're trying to get as much real world experience using the library as possible to prove out the reliability and performance improvements we're hoping to achieve. If you have access to Windows servers, you can help! It doesn't even require a Zenoss Core installation as this tool stands alone right now.

To use kerberos connections, you will need to download and build the python kerberos module from https://github.com/zenoss/pykerberos.
