Configuring Email Notifications

Enterprise Reporter can be configured to send email notifications that indicate when nodes and discoveries change state and may need administrator intervention. There are two methods available for sending email notifications:

•
For SMTP authentication, you can configure a default SMTP server that users can select when setting up email notifications. You can provide a server that uses anonymous connections or one that uses authentication. Users can provide their own credentials when they create a schedule.
•
If you need OAuth2 authentication for sending email, you can use Exchange Online to send email notifications. To use Exchange Online, you must register an application for Enterprise Reporter with Azure Active Directory, using certificate-based authentication. For more information, see Registering an Application for Exchange Online Email Delivery .

After you configure the email service type (SMTP or Exchange Online), you can configure address information such as sender and recipients, and notification options, such as whether to send notifications for node state changes, discovery state changes, or both. You can also select whether to include all discovery state changes or just the failures.

See the following sections for the steps to configure email notifications:

1a. To configure email notifications using SMTP Authentication

Registering an Application for Exchange Online Email Delivery

To send email using Microsoft 365 Exchange Online (for OAuth2 authentication), you must register an application for Enterprise Reporter with Azure Active Directory. During the registration process in the Azure portal, you must configure different variables that will be used when you set up Exchange Online for email delivery in the Configuration Manager and Report Manager.

To register Enterprise Reporter with Azure Active Directory and use Exchange Online accounts to send email, the following prerequisites must be met:

•
You must register an application in Azure portal. Record the Application (client) Id and Directory (tenant) Id.
•
The application must have the following Microsoft Graph API permissions: Mail.ReadWrite and Mail.Send.
•
A certificate is required. Make note of the certificate thumbprint.
•
You must upload a certificate public key (.cer) in Azure App Registrations.
•
You must also upload the certificate to the Enterprise Reporter server machine (Configuration Manager).

Generating a Certificate

You will require a certificate when registering an app for Enterprise Reporter in the Azure Active Directory. You can use a certificate from a Registration Authority or you can use a self-signed certificate. If you do not have a certificate from a Registration Authority, you can use the following Powershell cmdlets to create a self signed certificate.

It is useful to generate your self-signed certificate on the computer on which the Enterprise Reporter server service (Configuration Manager) is installed since that reduces the number of steps you must perform.

For information on the New-SelfSignedCertificate cmdlets, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/pki/new- selfsignedcertificate?view=windowsserver2022-ps.

Before you create the certificate, the Powershell PKI module must be installed.

Get-Command -Module PKI
Creating a Self-signed Certificate

Use the following Powershell cmdlets to create a self-signed certificate that will be used when you register the application for Exchange Online. Run these cmdlets on the computer that contains the Enterprise Reporter server service.

$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -certstorelocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My" -dnsname myersystem.domain.com
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString - -Force -AsPlainText Export-PfxCertificate -cert $path -FilePath "C:\exchange online\myersystem.domain.com.pfx" -Password $pwd

NOTE: For the -dnsname you enter the name of the computer that hosts Enterprise Reporter server service (Configuration Manager) and C:\exchange online\ is a folder location on that computer.

To export the certificate

If you have run the PowerShell cmdlets on the system that hosts the Enterprise Reporter server service (Configuration Manager), do the following steps:

1
Start the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) and select File | Add/Remove Snap-in...
2
Select Certificates and click Add.
3
In the Certificate snap-in window, select Computer account and click Next,
4
Select Local computer and click OK.

Managing the Collection of Additional Attributes

Managing the Collection of Additional Attributes

Enterprise Reporter collects a defined set of attributes for each object in a discovery. The attributes collected vary depending on the type of discovery, the object, and the version of Enterprise Reporter you are using. You can add and remove attributes collected by Active Directory and computer discoveries. You can extend:

•
Active Directory discovery attributes for users, groups, computers, organizational units, and service account.
•
Computer discoveries with attributes from WMI classes added.
•
Active Roles attributes for users, groups, computers, contacts, and organizational units.
The following data types are supported:
•
Boolean
•
Case Ignored String
•
Case Sensitive String
•
DN String
•
Integer
•
Large Integer
•
Numeric String
•
Print Case String
•
Time
•
Unicode
 
* 
NOTE: Collecting Active Roles attributes for users, groups, computers, and organizational units can significantly increase collection time. Attributes that are known to increase collection time are:
•
edsaDialinAccessPermissions
•
edsaDialinApplyStaticRoutes
•
edsaDialinApplyStaticIP
•
edsaDialinCallbackNumber
•
edsaDialinCallbackOptions
•
edsaDialinCallerID
•
edsaDialinStaticIP
•
edsaDialinStaticRoutes
•
edsaDialinVerifyCallerID

Attributes that you extended in previous versions of Enterprise Reporter can become default attributes in newer versions. In this case, the extended attribute is preserved to ensure that your reports continue to work, but only the default attribute is available for new reports.

When you add or remove attributes for a discovery type, Enterprise Reporter has to process them. This can take some time, during which any running discoveries of the type you extended may fail. You should perform the extension only after ensuring that no discoveries of that type are running or scheduled to run. Additionally, any attributes that are no longer being collected should be removed from any reports in which they were included.

* 
TIP: To minimize collection time, it is recommended that you only collect attributes that you know are required by your reporting users. You cannot remove attributes that are collected by default.
* 
NOTE: Reporting users must restart their consoles to have the most up-to-date list of available attributes in their reports. Consider informing users that data is no longer being collected so they can remove the associated fields from their reports.
