Re: Solarwinds Won't Execute External Program

Hello,

Alert engine runs program under his user(his). That mean you can't see for example calc.exe. I recommended test with

1.

test.bat

content:

dir > c:\test.txt

After execute action look into text.txt in C drive.

2.

Try run your .bat manually.

Maybe alert user doesn't have rights to run your application.

3.

Resolution:

Change Run AS user in Alert engine service to administrator.

SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Enabling audible alerts (Play a Sound action) on Windows Server 2008 Point 5.-8.

Thanks
