BAM Command-Line Script for Notification Services Configuration Files
Administrators use the ProcessBamNSFiles.vbs script to customize the behavior of SQL Server Notification Services for BAM alerts. You can use the script to obtain the Notification Services application definition file (ADF) and Notification Services configuration file. These files can be modified and then the script can be used to apply the changes.
You run the script from a Notification Services command prompt and not from a typical command prompt. Running the script from a typical command prompt will cause the script to execute incorrectly. When running the script all parameters are mandatory.
