  • send via what, mobile,pager or mail or popup message.....

    Thanks

  • any idea

  • It is sent using the Alerter Windows service and is received by the Messenger Windows server. The Messenger service is no longer enabled available in newer versions of Windows, and for good reason, since it's an easy way for people to send annoying popups to your machine. I would recommend against using the NET SEND-type alerting built into SQL Agent. What are you trying to do?

  • i want to make a popup message box alert because the server is not connected to the net currently

  • What about an email? You do not have to be connected to the internet to send an email.

  • how this could happen

    Thanks

  • SQL Server Database Mail does not actually send the email directly to a recipient, it sends it to an SMTP relay. If the database server can reach an SMTP relay, e.g. a local server running Exchange, and the Exchange server is connected to the internet then you can use Database Mail. This is a common scenario in corporate networks. Many SQL Server's I have worked on are not connected to the internet yet they can use Database Mail.

  • unfortunately there is no SMTP or Exchange server, thats why I am thinking about popup message

  • You could try to have a Mail server check out "MailEnable" have the smtp and pop connector and use it for SQL Server too and an independent outlook profile that can receive the mail.
