Emailing from the SQL 2000 server

I have a few maintenance routines created and SQL 2000 has options to email
the reports. Do I need to have Outlook installed on the SQL server to do
these emails.
Also, since outlook uses user profiles I assume that I must log onto the SQL
server as the account used to run SQL server to configure Outlook. If that
is the case, how can I have other administrators configure notifications
without everyone using the same account to configure the SQL server? I
loose accountability when everyone uses the same account.Hello jordan
Yes, thats true, you must install Outlook in the SQL Servers Windows
profile.
But
I use SQLDev.NET:s xp_smtp_sendmail. Its working very good.

Then you can create a SQL Alert to use for DBMaint.

Have just tried the Alert, but i dont have it in production

Outlook must be installed and a profile configured ONLY under the login
that the SQL services run under, not under each administrator's login.
You'll then configure the SQL Mail component to use that profile. Your
admins will continue to configure notifications as they do now.
