But the same happens pretty well in my case.....I see beautiful
results....Rather in my case, AR dosent run properly on Server. There is a
script that Daniel has written that relates to sending a mail in case the
active response has been successfully excuted...I am facing trouble in using
that script. Even though Email Alerting is enabled, but still I dnt get an
email related to the Active Response Executed Successully.....

Ne other way, I can get to knw that the AR has been successfully activated.

Regards
Tanishk
