Configure E-mail for a Reporting Services Service Application

In SharePoint Central Administration, click the Application Management.

In the Service Applications group, click Manage service applications.

In the Name list, click the name of your Reporting Services service application.

Click E-mail Settings on the Manage Reporting Services Application page.

Select Use SMTP server.

In the Outbound SMTP server box, type the name of an SMTP server.

In the From address box, type an e-mail address.

This address is the sender of all alert e-mail messages.

The account of the user specified in From address must be a managed account that you specified when you configured the application pool for the Reporting Services service application. If you have permission, you can view a list of existing managed accounts on the Service Accounts page in SharePoint Central Administration.

Click OK.

If your email environment requires NTLM authentication and does not allow anonymous access, you need to modify the e-mail delivery extension configuration for your Reporting Services service applications. Change the SMTPAuthenticate to use a value of “2”. This value cannot be changed from the user interface. The following PowerShell script example, updates the full configuration for the report server e-mail delivery extension for the service application named “SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION”. Note some of the nodes listed in the script can also be set from the user interface, for example the “From” address.

$app=get-sprsserviceapplication |where {$_.name -like "SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION *"}
$emailCfg = Get-SPRSExtension -identity $app -ExtensionType "Delivery" -name "Report Server Email" | select -ExpandProperty ConfigurationXml 
$emailXml = [xml]$emailCfg 
$emailXml.SelectSingleNode("//SMTPServer").InnerText = “your email server name"
$emailXml.SelectSingleNode("//SendUsing").InnerText = "2"
$emailXml.SelectSingleNode("//SMTPAuthenticate").InnerText = "2"
$emailXml.SelectSingleNode("//From").InnerText = “your FROM email address”
Set-SPRSExtension -identity $app -ExtensionType "Delivery" -name "Report Server Email" -ExtensionConfiguration $emailXml.OuterXml

If you need to verify the name of your service application, run the Get-SPRSServiceApplication cmdlet.

get-sprsserviceapplication

The following example will return the current values of the e-mail extension for the service application named “SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION”.

$app=get-sprsserviceapplication |where {$_.name -like "SSRSTEST_APPLICATION*"}
Get-SPRSExtension -identity $app -ExtensionType "Delivery" -name "Report Server Email" | select -ExpandProperty ConfigurationXml

The following example will create a new file named “emailconfig.txt” with the current values of the e-mail extension for the service application named “SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION”

$app=get-sprsserviceapplication |where {$_.name -like "SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION*"}
Get-SPRSExtension -identity $app -ExtensionType "Delivery" -name "Report Server Email" | select -ExpandProperty ConfigurationXml | out-file c:\emailconfig.txt
