Setting up an MSN alert

powerbouwerpowerbouwer
Hi,



Using 5.6.1 Enterprise.

I'm having trouble setting up an alert using an MSN Message. I setup 2 accounts e.g. [email protected] and [email protected]. These 2 accounts have each other in their contact list. I setup the [email protected] account to be used as the 'from' account within ServersCheck, and put the [email protected] account in the userprofile of a team.

Viewing the logfiles I can read that the alert sends a MSN-message. Helas, I don't see any message arrived at [email protected].



Any ideas?



Thanks

    Both accounts can not be running on the same computer as MSN only supports one account per computer.



    If you want to test it, make sure that account A is the from where ServersCheck runs on and account B is running on another computer.

    Does this mean that MSN Messenger needs to be installed on de server? At this time neither account A or B is logged in on MSN.
  • AdministratorAdministrator
    Yes and account B needs to be logged in on another computer.



    MSN sends messages directly and does not offer like ICQ the possibility to store the messages.

    Ok, I think I have it covered now:

    On the server (Account A) : Messenger needs to be installed and messenger must not be signed in.

    On the client (Account B) : Messenger needs to be installed and running.



    Account B needs to in the contactlist of Account A and vice versa.



    I think this is the correct setup?



    Thanks very much

    Yes it is. Sorry for the confusion.

    No problem. I confused message with e-mail message instead of instant message....



    Thanks for your patience :-)
