Hello,

I'm trying to set up alerts for jobs and backups, using sql mail. Will this
work in a clustered enviroment? if so, can you please forward some
information on how to get this set up?

Hi

It is not fully supported, but works in most cases.

From my experience, aleerts and job failures work OK, but DTS packages
sending mail do not.

Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298723/EN-US/ and look up the
topics in BOL that it mentions.

Regards
Mike

Calvin,

We installed the Outlook Client on both nodes of our W2K3 cluster SQL2000
cluster and it is working.

As others have said, works, but not supported.

Set up both EXACTLY the same way.
