The system automatically sends an SMS notification to users when they are created in Active Directory.

If the user has an international phone number or there is no number, the system will send an e-mail to the registered e-mail address in UMS.

There will not be sent any notification, if neither phone number nor e-mail address is registered.

While the phone number is found during Active Directory creation, the e-mail address is found when attempting to send an SMS.

The notification is sent through the SMS Server program.
