Setting up the Alert Management System 71 Configuring alert actions 5 If the computer that you are looking for does not appear in the list, click Discover to search for all computers again and find that computer. 6 Select the computer where the NLM will load, and then click Next. 7 Type or select the NLM to load. NLMs are usually stored in the SYS:SYSTEM directory on NetWare servers. 8 Type any command-line options you want the program to use. 9 Click Finish. Configuring the Send Internet Mail alert action The Send Internet Mail alert action sends an Internet mail message to the user that you specify. When using the Send Internet Mail alert action, you need to also specify the SMTP Internet mail server through which the alert action will send the message. If you specify the mail server by name, you need to have a DNS server configured so that the Send Internet Mail alert action can resolve the server's IP address. If you do not have a DNS server, you can enter the mail server's IP address directly. If you do not have access to an SMTP Internet mail server at your site, this alert action won't work. To configure the Send Internet Mail alert action 1 In the Symantec System Center console, right-click the server group, and then click All Tasks > AMS > Configure. 2 Select the alert for which you want to configure alert actions. 3 Click Configure. 4 Click Send Internet Mail, and then click Next. 5 Select the computer to execute the action, and then click Next. 6 In the Internet Address, Sender Name, Subject, and Mail Server boxes, type or select information as appropriate. It is preferable to provide the mail server's IP address rather than its name. The Sender Name box must contain a valid Internet email address. Most email servers will not send a message if the server can't validate the sender's email address. 7 Click Next. 8 In the Message box, type any message text you need and move available parameters you want from Alert Parameters to the Message box.
