1. On the computer hosting the Autodesk vault server, locate the Web.config file. By default, this file is installed in Program Files\Autodesk\ADMS Professional [version]\Server\Web\Services.
2. Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the Web.config file.
3. Search for the string "<email> <settings enabled="false" fromAddress="" handler="Connectivity.Core.Util.EmailHandler,Connectivity.Platform">"
4. By default, the value of the EnableEmail key is "false". Change the value to "true".
5. Locate the SmtpServer key directly below EnableEmail. By default, the SmtpServer value is set to localhost. Change the value to the machine name of the SMTP server on your network. If you do not know the machine name of the SMTP server, contact your system administrator.
6. Locate the FromEmailAddress key directly below the SmtpServer key. The FromEmailAddress key specifies the "from" address to use for the automatically generated e-mail messages. This value is blank by default. An e-mail address must be entered. The SMTP server on your network must also be configured to send e-mail from the address specified in the Web.config file.
7. Save the Web.config file and exit the editor.
