SimonCygnetIT Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Hi all Has anyone set SOLUS 3 up with Email Alert settings at all please? Would be interested to know as I have someone who is wanting to set it up but they cannot put in a username and password that is for accessing the SMTP server because the SMTP server is held by LGFL and doesn't need a username and password to authenticate. Anyone else experienced this at all please? regards Simon
Bubbles Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Yes, we have. Our mail server also does not need authentication and the e-mails just "go" without any issue, however we are moving to Office 365 very soon for mail, and SOLUS 3 has no SSL/TSL authentication mechanic so once we have migrated, we won't be able to use them. On another note, the e-mail's SOLUS 3 send appear to be bugged in relation to deployments, as we get random, daily "Workstation upgrade failed" e-mails for no reason. The alerts are handy to see when a new release/patch has arrived, but they are next to useless for actual deployments. Edited January 26, 2016 by Bubbles
Sylv3r Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Our e-mails only ever seem to have a subject but no message body - is that right?
matt40k Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Simon - just put "annoymous" for the user/pass Bubbles - if your LA/ISP still blocks 25 you either have to continue using their relay, or setup your own local one - I know there are alot of other guides on here that explain the process, its just a standard feature of Windows Server and its useful for other things - like printers 1
vyperz Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 on another note is it possible to add the target(PC) name to the notification email ? currently i just get "...deployment failed (or succeeded )

LGFL is still not authenticating. Anyone have any further ideas about this or experienced the same problem?

kennysarmy Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 OK I worked it out.... I removed the http:\\ bit from the server address - doh!
Barcrest Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, we have.

Yeah we have office 365 and so no more notifications. I was against switching but it was easier to support for the non technical support staff.
