E-mail notifications

 

Hello, Where do i start from.

I want  NBU 7.0 to be sending email notifications/report to an admin account of errors and successful jobs.

I have typed in the email addresses, in the master server properties under universal settings but still have not started receiving any email from NBU.

7.1.x and Earlier

    Please also share OS version with each new post, otherwise we have to search through your previous posts to try and figure out all relevant info.

    Setting up email notification is 100% related to the master server OS.

    Please have a look at https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/important-things-address-when-starting-new-threads under Featured Discussions on the main NBU forum page.
