Software to quick monitor Windows Servers [closed]

Question

Actually we have a ManageEngine Application Manager monitoring about 20 Windows Server machines. Some of these servers have IIS, SQL Server, Apache, MySQL and Sharepoint installed.

Once a day we make a simple check to confirm the health of servers. Actually we do this manually connecting with Terminal Services to every machine. This work takes about 2 hours and is really boring so i decide to look for a tool that allow me to automatize this job.

Basically i need a tool that can login into these 20 servers using Domain User and get the Uptime, Free Memory, Disk Free Space and the critical errors in the machine (if any). And if applies the status of the IIS/SQL/MySQL/Apache/Sharepoint service.

Anyone knows a software capable to do this?

Thanks.

I use zenoss for this. Zenoss can use SNMP to get the majority of critical information from servers (disk space, cpu, ram etc usage). It also has add-ons called ZenPacks that extend its functionality. One of the zenpacks is called WindowsWMIDeviceTemplateV2 which can connect to a Windows server and check various Windows specific items, such as confirming services are running, and even start them if not.

Zenoss is one among many tools that can do this, almost any Windows monitoring solution out there will provide this type of functionality.
