Actually I got the MRPE to execute the netstat_an.bat by simply reusing the check_mk.user.example.yml clean code and by not reinstalling the agent. What’s not working is the plugins. Placing a plugin - say like the windows_update.vbs plugin - actually removes 23 of my services. When I remove the vbs plugin, those services return.
The powershell i have to run using a string I remember from the older version calling the powershell.exe format.
I’ll test by removing the agent and reinstalling but I would not be surprised if that doesn’t work.
