Can I send alerts (short text messages) via email to SCOM and 1) SCOM in-turn can display those messages in its UI. 2) SCOM can forward these emails using its own notification mechanisms.

Sorry, you've posted in the SCCM forums rather than SCOM. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|
