This is an easy VBScript that will allow you to send notifications by mail. Thou applications like SQL have the Database mail, if you have log files which you need to send a text log file from an application as a notification.
Just change the basic email information to your likings and the Mail Server configuration. If it’s an open SMTP server leave the MailSendUsername and MailSendPassword empty. To embed a text file in the body, change the Logfile.txt entry to your filename. Save the below code as anything.vbs and run it as a scheduled task.
Dim objEmail
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
