Hi all,

I have Windows 2000 Server. Does anybody know how my
server can send an email automatically when a service
fails?

Thanks for your help,

Charles

When a service fails you can tell it to 'Run a PRogram'
and then specify a program to run. For emails you need to
write either a VBS script or a VB program to generate the email
or even use NET SEND to send an alert when it fails.

You can blat.exe ( http://www.blat.net/ ) to send email
from the command line or a batch file. Might be useful if
you don't want to write a VB script.
