You can notify via e-mail without any client at all on the system.  Just make up a message in an RFC 822 format and then drop it in the Exchange server's SMTP virtual server pickup directory.  You can literally make a notification message from a DOS batch file.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Outlook installed on a DC

Hi all,
 
I have a problem whereby our I've been asked by a manager to install outlook on our DC's to allow us to email back the services team when backups have failed.
 
I am dead against this, I have just managed to split the DC & File and Print roles and reduce the number of domain admins.
 
My gut feeling is against this, though I have no technical reason why this is bad?
 
Does anyone have any views or advice on this matter?
Any scenerio's that could occur would be nice...
 
thanks
Frank
