Server Monitoring Suggestions

Hi all - newb here.

We're a Windows shop and I'm looking for something [free] that I could stand up to monitor various aspects of our servers. I'm specifically looking for something that can:

verify that servers are up [& responding]
verify services are up [& responding]
verify remote sites are up/accessible
monitor CPU & memory (warn when its above X% sustained for Y mins etc)
monitor latency between this site and the remote site
monitor disk usage (e.g.: warning when its down to 10% etc.)
monitor things like disk queue length (like performance monitor)
monitor exchange specific things like number of mailboxes left to crawl, oustanding batches & outstanding documents to index (again, like performance monitor)
monitor other things like IIS, BES, Lotus Notes, DFS, IronPort - custom services etc

I'm hoping for some sort of nifty frontend that others could have up on monitor/projector to keep an eye on general health & maybe highlight 'problem' areas.

I don't know, but, I suspect I'll need something like Nagios, SmokePing and/or Edoceo to tackle this. Since I have 0 experience with any of these, I figured checking with the community first might be best.

Many thanks!
