sbs 2003/2008 server monitoring

[snefmoo]

i work for an it company that supports a number of companies servers and was wondering if anyone could recommend software that would monitor all of the servers at once, so that we would be alerted if anything was to go down. at the moment all we do is remote desktop into each one once or twice a week and recieve emails about backup etc, but we dont really have the time to be doing this as there are about 20 that we cover, so one piece of software that would monitor them would be great.

Hello,

Nagios is a free Linux based monitoring tool that will monitor uptime, disk space and services on Windows or Linux. The company I work for uses PAMonitor to monitor various Windows systems and services and Nagios for Linux and Solaris.
