Alert email showing local url not internet url

Question

I have setup SharePoint to be accessed via the internet and configured aam.

I can access the site from the Internet, but whenever i setup an alert on a library, the email that is sent out contains a link showing the internal url, not the Internet URL.

I need the email to show the external URL.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

 

Create the alerts while logged in teh application using the Internet URL. Most likely you created the alerts using the internal URL and that's why the email are showing the internal URL.

 

Thanks

For alerts already created you can change them to use the Internal URL using STSADM -updatealerts
