TFS 2010 Email Alert Settings

Question

Hey Community,

i tried to configure the Email Alert Settings after a migration from TFS 2008 to 2010. Everything will work but not like before.

If someone were editing a workitem or other thing, the Alert Email was comming from the Exchange Mailadress of the User which has edited and was logged on by the computer which was editing.

If someone change now with the new TFS 2010 a item, the alert is comming from the adress which is configured in the tfs coniguration console.

But we won't all mails from the "from adress" there should be the exchange mailadress out of the active directory user account like before in TFS 2008.

 

I hope someone can help.

 

Thanks a lot Sven

Hi SvenG,

You can install TFS Power Tools to set the email alert. In VS2010, from Team ->Alert Explorer.

Hope it helps! If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know!

Best Regards,
