There is an awesome tool for SharePoint administrator to update these existing alerts.The new stsadm -o updatealert command was released in the SharePoint Administration Toolkit. For more information and to download the toolkit, visit one of the following Microsoft Web sites, depending on the version of Windows SharePoint Services that you are running.
