Configuring a net send recipient

You can configure Net Send to send notification messages to a target computer or user.

If the target computer has Internet pop-up advertisement blocking software installed, the Net Send notification message will not display.

To configure a net send recipient

  1. On the navigation bar, click Alerts.

  2. Click the Active Alerts tab.

  3. Under Notification Tasks in the task pane, click Configure recipients.

    The Configure Recipients dialog box appears.

  4. Click New, click Net Send in the Recipient Type dialog box, and then click OK.

  5. Select the appropriate options as follows from the Net Send Recipient Properties dialog box:

    Name

    Type the recipient for whom you are configuring the notification.

    Target Computer or User Name

    Type the name of the computer or user to whom you are sending the notification. You should enter a computer rather than a user because the Net Send message will fail if the user is logged off the network.

    If the target computer has Internet pop-up advertisement blocking software installed, the Net Send notification message will not display.

    All Computers

    Select the check box to send the notification to all the computers in the network.

    Notify me a maximum of x times within x minutes

    Type the total number of notifications you want sent to the recipient for all alerts generated within the specified number of minutes. After the specified number of notifications have been sent, additional notifications are not sent until the specified minutes have been reached. The maximum number of minutes that can be set is 1440, which is the number of minutes in a day.

    Reset the notification limits after x minutes

    Select this check box to enter the number of minutes that must be reached before the notification limits are reset. When the time limit has been reached, the number of notifications sent is reset to zero.

    Enable (Limit when notifications can be sent)

    Select this check box to activate the option and configure the length of time the recipient is available for notification.
