Sending notifications to secondary email address of users
ADSelfService Plus notifies end users via email about an impending password or account expiration, successful password self-service actions, and more. By default, this notification is sent to the user's primary email address that is tied to Active Directory. To reduce the chance of users missing these notifications if they are not able to access their accounts (because of locked out accounts or forgotten passwords), ADSelfService Plus allows you to send these notifications to users' alternate email addresses as well.
This article will show you how itβs done.

- Click the Advanced button.
- Under Secondary Email/Mobile Number, select the Allow or Block email addresses from the following domains _ option. Use this option to block or allow particular email domains. You can leave this field empty to allow any domain after choosing Allow.
