Specify Alert Settings after Installation

You can edit the web.config file under VSTF\bisserver in the middle-tier machine.
If you want to change the email settings:
- Under AppSettings you will see a SMTP server entry. Change the value for this to point to the correct one.
- If the entry doesn't exist, add the following entry
<add key="smtpServer" value="yoursmtservername" />

Also, in order to get the alerts, make sure you subscribe to Alerts for the given project (from Team -> Alerts)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\web.config

If you've done a normal install of Beta 3 or later.

You can also add a key

<add key="emailNotificationFromAddress" value="someone@yourdomain.com" />

to specify the from-address of the alert emails.
