Changing default URL for Sharepoint 2010 breaks alert email links...
I changed the sharepoint url from http://{servername} to http://sharepoint/
This broke our email alerts and when lists get updated, no emails get sent out to the "assigned" users.
If I re-add http://{servername} as an internal url in the alternate access mappings, the emails will then go out, but the link in them are incorrect. they all point to http://{servername} instead of the new default url I assigned of http://sharepoint.
Any thoughts on what is set wrong and how to fix it?

I couldn't get that to work.
I also tried this:

It didnt work either. I created the ps1 file, ran it in the sharepoint shell and immediately ran the next command, but this is the error message I get:
PS C:\Users\administrator.MID
PS C:\> ./Invoke-AlertFixup.ps1
PS C:\> Invoke-AlertFixup -site http://sharepoint -oldurl http://rds

I'm assuming you need to dot source the ps1 file. You do this by running ". .\invoke-alertfixup.ps1", then running your command.
You installed the admin kit and it didn't work?

I still cant get the ps1 file to work.
I did install the admin kit.
I tried running the following command and it keeps saying it's invalid:
stsadm -o updatealert -url http://sharepoint -oldurl http://rds
Am I missing something or doing it wrong? Do I need to restart anything after installing the admin kit?

the PowerShell commands are what you need to use, as I think the stsadm commands have been removed in 2010.
Can you post a screenshot of your powershelll windows after trying?

". .\invoke-alertfixup.ps1", then running your invoke-alertfixup command.

I've done this over and over in 100 different ways, quotes included, excluded, etc. and nothing ever worked...until now. It worked just now though!!!
I just got an email alert through and the links work!!!
Thank you so much for fixing my stupidity.
