Here is how you can send an e-mail alert when a Windows Server reboots. This has been tested on Server 2008, Small Business Server 2008, and Small Business Server 2012. It should work for Server 2012, but I have not had a chance to test this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Download sendemail.exe<\/a> file and save it to a folder on server. I like to save it to a folder called C:\\Scripts<\/em><\/li>
  2. Open Notepad\/Wordpad\/Text Editor and add the following:
    \nc:\\Scripts\\sendemail.exe -f localadmin@domain.com -t alerts@yourdomain.com;alerts2@yourdomain.com -u \u201cSERVERNAME rebooted\u201d -m \u201cSERVERNAME has rebooted!\u201d -s smtp.ispsmarthost.com<\/li>
  3. Save the file as rebootalert.cmd<\/em> in the C:\\Scripts folder.<\/li>
  4. Open Task Scheduler.<\/li>
  5. Add a new Task and call it Reboot Alert. Set the User to be SYSTEM<\/em>. Set Trigger to be At System Startup<\/em>. Set Actions to be Start a Program<\/em> and add the path C:\\Scripts\\rebootalert.cmd<\/em>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Test the script by rebooting the server. You should receive an e-mail alert that the server rebooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
