Microsoft Mail

The Microsoft Mail alarm action -- available when the NerveCenter server is running on a Windows platform -- enables an alarm to send mail concerning a transition to clients of a Microsoft Exchange Server. This mail contains the name of the alarm that underwent the transition, the name and severity of the destination state, the name of the node being monitored, and so on.

---

   Before you can use this action, the person who configured NerveCenter must have set up a Microsoft Exchange Server profile and set up NerveCenter correctly. This setup is covered fully in Managing NerveCenter.
