How we monitor/get the Microsoft NLB Nodes state and its configuration?

To find Node Status :

We run a serverNlb.vbs in WMI mode to get the state of the corresponding NLB Node. Here is a sample output:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.812

CONF_NLB_STATE:1008

Here 1008 represents the status code.

Status Codes :

0             REMOTE       Node is remote. The StatusCode value cannot be retrieved
1005     STOPPED       Cluster operations have stopped on at least one node
1006     CONVERGING       The cluster is converging
1007     CONVERGED       The cluster has converged successfully
1008     DEFAULT       The specified node has converged as the default host
1009     DRAINING               One or more nodes are draining
1013             SUSPENDED       Cluster operations have been suspended on one or more nodes

To find Configuration information :

The same script will also return the configuration information of the current node. Here is a sample output:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.812
