Monitoring Windows Clusters

Good afternoon everyone!

We have Zenoss Core 4.2.4 running on our network, and have a number of Windows and Linux nodes being monitored with all the metrics and alerts we require. However, we are struggling to get monitoring setup on our Windows 2008 R2 clusters.
The clusters are all setup with two nodes. Each node has its own IP address, and there is an IP address for the cluster itself, and a separate IP address for the print service we have running on the cluster.

We would like to be in a position where we can monitor the state of the cluster itself, and the associated print service. We would also like to be able to monitor each of the cluster nodes separately.

The main issues we have so far:
- Any monitoring setup against the cluster IP address appears to prevent monitoring of individual nodes, as the IP addresses for those nodes are associated with the cluster.
- Monitoring of individual nodes causes problems as the inactive nodes that are not actively monitoring any services just alert for those services being down.
- Last of all, we have no way of telling when the hosting of any services or applications changes between nodes.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this!
