iDRAC 9 Enterprise SMTP alerts w/Office 365

I'm running a Dell PowerEdge T440 with iDRAC9 Enterprise. I'm attempting to setup SMTP alerts using Office 365. I have been unable to successfully send a test e-mail at all. I receive the error: RAC0225 every single time I sent a test e-mail.

This is the setup so far, any help would be super appreciated because I'm at a loss.

iDRAC Settings -> Connectivity -> Network -> Common Settings Register iDRAC on DNS: Enabled DNS iDRAC Name: iDRAC-ServiceTag Auto Config Domain Name: Disabled Static DNS Domain Name: xxx.userdomain.com Connection View: Enabled

Configuration - > System Settings -> Alert Configuration Alerts: Enabled

Configuration -> System Settings -> SMTP (Email) Configuration Email Alert 1: [email protected]

Configuration -> System Settings -> SMTP (Email) Server Settings I've attempted various configuration settings in this area such as: SMTP (Email) Server IP Address or FQDN /DNS Name: Public WAN IP domain-com.mail.protection.outlook.com. I created an IIS Server with SMTP enabled and followed this guide: http://www.ponjavic.com/wordpress/2016/06/16/configure-smtp-relay-server-for-office-365/ for the setup

I'm complete at a loss of how to set it up. Even if I'm not able to, or it's an extremely small oversight I missed I just want to know if it's possible, and how people have had luck setting it up because I haven't had any.

Thank you so much.

Solution 1:

I have a hybrid exchange with iDrac9 using an SMTP relay over p25. I had to update the firmware to 4.40 for the iDrac. This will change the menu a bit and allow you to configure the sender. I then added a DNS record to my DNS "idrac1" under domain "mydomain.com". Then make sure the sender address is changed to "[email protected]" Also used start TLS with auth disabled.

Also, make sure you have the receive connector configured for your SMTP relay.

Hope this helps.
