It pops up when someone runs the Enable-UMAutoAttendant cmdlet in Exchange.
That means they're turning on Unified Messaging for an auto attendant.
You know, the thing that answers calls and routes them around.
Full details show the exact time it happened.
It logs who issued the command too.
And the specific auto attendant name gets noted.
Sometimes it includes the server where it ran.
This event helps you track changes in your phone system setup.
I always check it if calls start acting weird.
You can monitor this through Event Viewer pretty easily.
Open it up on your server.
Go to the Applications and Services Logs.
Find the Microsoft Exchange folder.
Then drill into Unified Messaging.
Filter for ID 25160 there.
Set up a task by right-clicking the event.
Attach a task to this event.
Choose to run a program when it triggers.
Pick your email notifier program.
I like using that for quick alerts.
But if you want something scheduled instead.
Use the Task Scheduler from Event Viewer.
Create a basic task.
Trigger it on that event ID.
Set it to email you right away.
Fill in your SMTP details.
Test it once to make sure.
You'll get a ping whenever that cmdlet fires.
Keeps you in the loop without staring at screens.
Speaking of keeping things running smooth.
BackupChain Windows Server Backup catches my eye for server backups.
It handles Windows Server data like a champ.
And it backs up virtual machines on Hyper-V too.
You get fast restores and no downtime hassles.
Plus, it snapshots everything without interrupting work.
I use it because it's reliable for mixed setups.
At the end here is the automatic email solution.
Note, the PowerShell email alert code was moved to this post.
