Asset Information Manager can use the Windows task scheduler function to send email notification to the asset manager when it detects contract expiration, an excess number of licenses, unauthorized installation, WSUS updates, or change to device information. Additionally, when an Item is sent to the next worker, Asset Information Manager can send an email notification to that worker.

This section explains the environment necessary for using notification by email and the content that is sent, so that you can decide whether to use notification by email and for what jobs.

To use notification by email, you must specify it in both Asset Information Manager and Microsoft Internet Information Services.

Settings in Asset Information Manager

• Notification by e-mail
  In the Server Setup dialog box, under Mail Notification Information, set Notification by e-mail to Notify.
  
• Address to e-mail
  In the Server Setup dialog box, under Mail Notification Information, for Address to e-mail, set the email address of the asset manager to which email notification is to be sent.
  

For details about specifying the settings in the Server Setup dialog box, see 5.3.5 Setting Mail Notification Information.

Settings in Microsoft Internet Information Services

• SMTP virtual server execution
  Make sure that the SMTP virtual server is running.
  For details about setting up the SMTP virtual server, see 5.10.1 Executing the SMTP virtual server.
  
• Relay of received email to a remote domain
  Add a remote domain to the SMTP virtual server and specify the settings in such a manner that received email will be relayed to that remote domain.
  For details about the settings for relaying received email to a remote domain, see 5.10.2 Adding a remote domain.
