When you execute the Notification of hardware change task, the task reports the number of devices that have been changed since the last task execution. It might take a long time to report the information when the task is executed for the first time or after a long period of time since the previous task.
To automatically send email notifications, you must set up Asset Console and Microsoft Internet Information Services accordingly. For details about the settings for using notification by email, see 5.10 Settings for using notification by email.
