Manage Notification Profiles
With notification profiles you can set up ready-made e-mail notifications, which can automatically be triggered by a
rule (see "Manage Rules" on page 133), for example when a particular event occurs. You are even able to include still
images and AVI video clips in the e-mail notifications.
Note that when using the SMTP Service with .NET 4.0, it is not possible to send attachments over 3 MB. However two
hotfixes (must be installed on the management server in the listed order) from Microsoft can be found at:

http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=30226 -

TLS (Transport Layer Security) and its predecessor SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is not supported; if the sender
belongs on a server that requires TLS or SSL, e-mail notifications will not work properly. Also, you may be required to
disable any e-mail scanners that could prevent the application sending the e-mail notifications.
