How can I alert everyone when something is updated? 1

[sissipher]

I have put together a sharepoint server and I have the alerts for myself set. This works great. However, I have not seen a nice spot where I can turn on alerts for certain things on our site like tasks when they are updated. I would like to send alerts to everyone in my group at once. The problem is that we have some not so great computer users that do not even know how to set up the My Alerts feature. How can I do this. I am the sharepoint admin but I can't find this.

Thank You in advance.

Hello,

Out of the box you can't set alerts for other users, they will have to set them up themselves. There are 3rd party webparts that can apply this functionality to sharepoint.

You can find it on Jan Tielens blog at
