Unable to send a email in Task Scheduler

BigButtons · Feb 18, 2009

Hi,

I am trying to set up e-mail notification in the task scheduler when certain tasks complete. The task itself runs fine but when it comes to the email portion of the task, the email is never sent.

In the history log of the task I can see a 202 event "Action failed" stating
"...action "IBM Back-up completed" . Additional Data: Error Value: 2147746318"

I have double checked that my smtp server is correctly formatted in the proper field. I have also tried using another SMTP server that I have access to with the same results. My smtp server does require authentication and I don't see where to configure that. Could that be my problem?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Bob

Hello Bob,

I'm not certain if this can help, but if the tasks you want monitored are recorded in Event Viewer, then it may.

Hope this helps,
