I use an Excel "Addon" called JetReports, I have the report automatically set to email me the scheduled report at a particular time after it finishes processing (via Excel).
This is all being done on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with office 2010 installed. The issue I am having is that even though I have the "batch logon" server permissions to allow outlook to automatically send these files
while I am offline/logged off. Outlook is not actually sending these emails rather putting them into the drafts folder when outlook is not running on the server. In order to get these
items to send "automatically" I have to have the outlook client permanently running on the server.
When Outlook is not opened/running; when the scheduled time is reached, I see the outlook icon in the system tray (server side) processing the email, then shortly after the outlook icon turns grey with an X, then disappears. Then I have to open up Outlook, and then the email will send after about 2 minutes with no user interaction (which is great, but Outlook still has to be open)
It's not a huge issue as it is bypassed by leaving my outlook account / outlook open and active on the server, but if there is a way around this I would be greatly appreciative. Is there any settings in Outlook/Exchange/Server 2008 R2 I am missing
that you can think would cause this to send to my drafts folder while Outlook is not running?
-I am using cached exchange mode.
-Set to Auto detect connection state.
Thanks in advance,
