Server 2008 R2 Task Scheduler E-Mail Notification

from start finish doing:

setup custom view in event viewer monitor specific process. (basically tell me changes in intel matrix raid)

i attached task custom view and setup schedule send e-mail when event reported...

all up until point...i know , understand microsoft has set not allow kind of smtp server used authentication. know, real simple , yet frustrating , stupid. company using web based email that does not allow anonymous mail (godaddy)...obviously security reasons.

i trying brainstorm ideas reliable.

thoughts to:

use anonymous email server = unreliable & hard find

try set virtual smtp feature relay anonymous emails legitimate smtp server smtp.gmail.com = more reliable need guidance

try using 2nd party software send emails = thoroughly annoyed if end having install email alert

wtf microsoft? simple...what’s deal? include user name , password authentication....sounds simple.

 

any great!

if cant tasks function in event viewer perhaps try following:

create powershell script monitor event log specific event log , id , export output file.once file has been exported can mail using send-mail function , authenticate smtp server credentials.

you configure script run every 30 minutes last time ran , if there events mail report.
