Windows Server 2016 email notifications/warnings

[MajorMaccas]

As title really, is there any built-in email functionality for Windows Server 2016 for warnings/notifications? I'm specifically after HDD/storage/backup warnings, since I don't tend to remote into my home server sometimes for 3-4 weeks at a stretch. So if a HDD starts getting URE faults, I would like an email on the first instance, same for if a backup fails etc etc. Anyone know if this is possible with Win Server 2016?

I'm not unfamiliar with Powershell, I used it to create my storage spaces pools, using some old SSDs as write caches etc, because the GUI isn't complete for that purpose. I'll have a dig, but it's nice to know it's all there, thanks

PTRG can do all of this and more, you get 100 sensors free, more than enough for even a sprawling home network

Wow! that looks pretty amazing, especially as it's freeware (upto 100 sensors), thanks for pointing it out!
