Specify When to Send a Stalled Task Alert

Reservation Manager can send an email alert to the administrator when a task is taking longer than expected. An alert is sent if the elapsed time since the last status update for a task was received and the present time exceeds a defined time interval.

You can configure this time interval, which is two hours by default. This configuration setting applies for all types of tasks, including operating system imaging, software installation, and so on. Therefore, make the time interval long enough for all ordinary tasks to complete.

To specify when to send a stalled task alert

1. As an administrator on the Reservation Manager home page, click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

2. Click the following link in the Notifications area, specify a value and click OK.

   Task Status Update Timeout
