How can I stop alerts being sent to specific users who are part of an AD email group?
Hi , I’ve created a forum for a specific group of users. I’ve set up an alert on this forum so that the specific group will be alerted when a new item is added. This alert is based on the AD email group for those specific staff (roughly 80 staff). The majority like being alerted but a handful of staff have asked if the alert is not sent to them. What I need is a way to say “ Email all staff in the AD group XX but NOT John.Doe & Jane.Doe." Is there any way this is possible without having to resort to purchasing a third party product? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hi, You can create a SharePoint Group, add intended users in that group and subscribe that group for alerts. before that go to Site Action > Site Settings > Site Administration > User alerts and delete alerts for that group. hth.
