sql server reporting services:
How can I set the default e-mail address (fully qualified name) when creating
a new report subscription? (i.e. john.doe@ipc.org)?

Can you create a history report if there is no default parameter available?

Thank you.

You can not set the default name. By default the email extension should add
the current user to the TO line. You can choose to have a default host name
added to the username but it will not show up in the UI. To add the default
hostname in the RSReportServer.config file add the host name to the
DefaultHostName element.

For example:
<DefaultHostName>microsoft.com</DefaultHostName>

This will mean all usernames that do not have a host name will get the
configured hostname attached to it.

Daniel, good morning!

Your solution to add the hostname did indeed work.

Thank you very much for your assistance and have a safe and productive day.

I have several users that are having issues with the subscriptions. In the
last year we changed our email naming standard to be first.last@company.com.
It used to be first name and last initial. Employees Window's usernames are
still variations on first name last initial. I have found that any new
employee whose email uses the First.Last@company.com standard does not
receive emails when they subscribe.

Does the logic just paste the domain name after the username or does it use
Active Directory to retrieve the email address? Need to know if this is
something that I should go to the group that manages our Exchange server with
or not.

Thanks for any ideas.

I am having the same issue. Our naming convention is first.last@host.com but
our alias is first initial and last name and it does not work by adding the
host name. Is reporting services smart enough to lookup the smtp email
address from AD for the user that is subscribing instead of using the alias?
