Hi, I Got the same problem. I've checked the Property and It came out: I have a list event handler working on this site for ItemUpdated and sends a simple notification to user, can this be the reason why the Alert stops working on this site ?

Hi Does this work with https too? I've tried setting the property using an https url but still get property does not exist

An event handler will not interfere with alerts. Do they work on other lists ? Could be a lot of things being wrong (email incorrectly configured, virusscan or firewall blocking the email sending, etc)

oboron, as good practice you need to have an internal Web Application using http and windows auth for crawling etc. Then extend this WebApp for https, fba, etc. Use the internal Web App for administration.

I had this problem and ran exactly what you mentioned above, but I still failed to recieve the email alerts. Is there anything else that can be causing this issue? I assume the owstimer.exe file is the service sending out the emails. Why does it work for the setup email but no the alert email.

Hey Dave, did you check the antivirus config (also mentioned in the post) ? The setup email really is a different mechanism.

muchas gracias por la orientación que ofreces, me ha sido de mucha utilidad. tambien agradesco a quien me proporcion este link, a Julio Casal

Thanks heaps for this..... you saved me!

Ditto for me, did you ever figure out why this wasn't set up properly in the first place?

I believe it was due to a backup/restore (or export/import) of the site collection using the Content Deployment API which had a lot of issues pre SP1.

Thanks for information. It worked for me.

Cool ! It worked for me too.

I can successfully run these commands on one site, but on another server, when I try to run these commands, I am getting the following error: The server administration programs and the Windows Sharepoint Services web applications on this web server are not compatible. Ensure that the administration program is the same version as the Web application. I have checked the version of stsadm.exe (12.0.6418.100) and the Web appliation (12.0.0.6421) are the same on both machines. Any ideas on where to look for the problem? We have tried backing up the site that works and restoring to another server, but it still does not work.

Hi Bob, try running the Config Wizard. It seems an update didn't get pushed to all components in the farm ?

Hi Steven Van de Craen I have migrated our sharepoint from an old domain to a new one. then i have migrated all users to the new domain and then use the stsadm -o migrateuser. every thing is fine except two little things. all of the timer jobs have been stoped and never run in the new sharepoint. the ssp user import log show me this error " There is no such object on the server. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072030" for most of the users. can you help me please.

I am still having the problem of not emailing notices in a workflow. Any other thoughts...the settings are correct per stsadm. I restarted services, but now the Win SP Services Web Application is stuck on starting.

Hi Scott, what do you mean with Win SP Services Web Application ? Does a reboot help ? Do you have the latest patches ?

The Immediate Alerts timer job can also be fired from a console application that you run as necessary (or on your own timer): http://www.johnchapman.name/sharepoint-2007-immediate-alerts-console-application/

Thanks .. It Work for me....
