  Hi Jeym,

  use following script

  $site = Get-SPSite "http://serverName/sites/TestSite/"
  $web=$site.Rootweb
  $list=$web.Lists.TryGetList("Shared Documents")
  $user = $web.EnsureUser('domainName\userName')
  $newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
  $newAlert.Title = "My Custom Alert"
  $newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::List
  $newAlert.List = $list
  $newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::Email 
  $newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::Add
  $newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::Immediate 
  $newAlert.Update()

  Hi Jey,

  Based this article, you may have the similar issue with the Tasks list option "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" is missing, and your SharePoint version may be earlier than patched April CU version level.

  My SharePoint 2013 environment has installed April 2013 CU, and the Tasks list option "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" appears and works well, email notification will be sent when task item is created and changed, you can install April 2013 CU and check result again.

  Thanks

  hi Jeym,

  my apologies for not understanding the question

  Please try this code:

  $site=Get-SPSite "http://test2013/"
  $web=$site.OpenWeb()
  $list=$web.Lists.TryGetList("Tasks")
  if($list -ne $null)
  {
     $list.EnableAssignToEmail =$true
     $list.Update()
  }

  Regards,

  karim

  Already we tried using this script. This is only send the email in create mode, Not send the mail in edit mode.

  How to solve this issue?

  i jeym,

  I have tested this script and it is working for me. i am getting Alert in edit mode also

  My farm is upgrade with April 2013 CU and one more thing is April 2013 CU enables "Alert Me" option in ribbon for Task list. you can configure alerts from list itself.

  
  

   you can install April CU from following link

  kindly let me for more information.

  Regards,

  karim

  Keep in mind, the users need access to the list/library to get emails from it! in testing this is often forgotten!
