HTTP Request

With the “Net Send” action, short alert messages can be sent via the Windows “net send” facility. These messages are delivered on a best-effort basis. If the recipient can be reached, they will pop up in a message box on the recipient’s machine. If the recipient cannot be reached, they will simply be discarded. No buffering takes place. Consequently, the rule engine does not check if the message can be delivered. It will never flag an action to be in error due to a reported delivery problem with “net send”.
