Re: Alerts not coming thru

Can't recall why I did it originally, but my SQL Services use a different
user than the Netork Service Account. Also, I set up sharepoint with a
different user. So I Do NOT use the Network Service account. I had to
change to a different account as something is odd in my AD and can't get SQL
Security to recognize the Network Service Account properly. How I fixed the
issues was set up the Sarepoint Timer Service to use the same login that I
have set for the IIS App Pool I am using for Sharepoint (Not the Network
Service Account) and made sure that that account has access to SQL.
