The configuration of upsmon on Windows (2003 and 2008 servers, 32 bits) was difficult, and I wanted to report how I did so that documentation / packaging could be improved. Please apologize if all of this is already written somewhere.\r\n\r\n- Download and install normally the \"Beta NUT 2.6.5-6 package for Windows\" (usb driver is not needed in our case)\r\n- Download from OpenSSL GitHub (https://github.com/openssl-net/openssl-net/tree/master/native/windows/x86) libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, and put these in `<NUT-install-directory>\\sbin\\`. It seems that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) is needed (I did not have to install it, so I think it is default on Windows).\r\n- Copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll from `<NUT-install-directory>\\bin\\` to `<NUT-install-directory>\\sbin\\` (this is not always needed, the library might be already installed by another software and available globally).\r\n- Edit nut configuration files as usual.\r\n- Start service with the entry created in the menu.\r\n- Result can be monitored from \"Applications\" in the \"Event viewer\".\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nYvan"}}
