Email notification wont work

  • And the OS Account for SQLAgent owns the SQLMail profile?

  • Yes, I have logged onto the OS as SQLAdmin also.  Any other ideas?

  • What is the configuration of the mail profile?  Is it hooked up to an Exchange server?

  • how do you know if it is hooked up to an Exchange server?  I am pretty sure it is. 

  • I installed Outlook from Office XP onto the server.  Do I need a lower version instead?  DO you think that could be the problem?  Or do I not even need Outlook on there if I have Exchange Server on there?  Ahhhhh, this is driving me crazy. 

  • LOL.  How did you set up the profile?  control panel, mail, show profiles, click on the profile and do properites.  email accounts, view or change, next.  What does it say?

  • You have exchange server running on the same server as sql?  What is this for? some playground?

  • what OS, SQL version.

    I had the same problem.  If I remember correctly the problem was cause the the OS (Mine was Win2K server).  I will have to look back and see if I kept my notes about the problem.

  • I am using SQL Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003. And, yes, they are on the same server.  Any other thoughts?

  • When I go to Support Services --> SQL Mail --> Properties and click Test with SQLAdmin as the profile, it works fine.

    When I go to Management -->SQL Server Agent --> Properties and click Test with SQLAdmin as the profile, it works fine.

    MSSQLSERVER logon is set to SQLAdmin also.

    SQLSERVERAGENT logon is set to SQLAdmin also.

    When I go to Management --> Operators --> SQLAdmin --> Properties and click Test to send an email, it gives me this error:

    Error 22022: SQLServerAgent Error: The SQLServerAgent mail session is not running; check the mail profile and/or the SQLServerAgent service startup account in the SQLServerAgent Properties dialog.

    Everything is started.  I just don't get it. Anyone else have any ideas?

  • When I create a new operator, and click on the little button it says:

     

    Unable to logon to the mail system. You should start a mail client (Microsoft Oulook or Micorsoft Exchange Client) to use this feature.

    Any ideas?

     

  • Is your outlook client running? Microsofts help for getting SQL Agent working requires Outlook 2002 to be running in the background whan using SQL server

  • Sorry I cannot find any notes on how I corrected this problem.  At the time I found the document on MS support on why the mail is failing.

    It may have something to do with SQL being unable to send to a "group" if the group is created in the operator screen.  I have to send mail to each person individually.

    Sorry, couldn't help more I will keep looking.  But, the reason is on MS support somewhere.

  • I have two options.  I either have Office 2000 or Office XP.  What one should I install?  Right now I have Office XP on there, but it isn't working.  I didn't have it running before, but I tried it with it running and it didn't work.  Maybe I need to reinstall it and set it up differently.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks!

  • may help, not sure.  The problem may have something to do with SQL being unable to fnd the correct profile to use.  is sql running under a local or domain account?
