How to customize email notification template

Overview

Account Lockout Examiner can send a notification when a lockout occurs. You can edit the notification text or title by modifying the notification template.

Template location

The template file notification_template.txt is stored in the product installation folder. The default path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\NetWrix Account Lockout Examiner

Template sections

The notification template consists of four sections:

  • The SUBJECT section contains the text reflected in the message subject.
  • The BODY, WEB and REMOTE_CONTROL sections contain the text reflected in the message body.
  • The BODY section contains the main text of the notification.
  • The WEB section contains a link to the Help-Desk portal and related text, and is shown only if a Link is enabled in Account Lockout Examiner settings.
  • The REMOTE_CONTROL section contains text providing Remote control instructions, and is shown only if Remote control is enabled in Account Lockout Examiner settings.

Modifying the template

You can modify the template in the following ways:

  • Edit any text within the template sections.
  • Add any AD attribute name. The attribute name should be in the following format: %AD.[attribute]%.
    • For example, with the %AD.Displayname% attribute added into the template, the notification message will show the Display name of the locked out user account.
  • Add any internal variable name:
    • %NTAccount% - shows the name of the locked out account.
    • %WorkStation% - shows the name of the workstation where an account was locked out.
    • %LockoutTime% - shows the lockout time.
    • %Link% - shows the link to the web portal.
