Trying to fax using 2003 server from vista machine

[Guest]

I see the server fax as a printer in Vista machine but it insists on setting
up an account. When it asks to type a server location the following appears.
The mentioned fax server is not available. please correct....
I have been using the server fax service from XP for a long time, what seems
to be the problem?
I've tried the name as '\\lynserver\fax' and '\\fax' and 'fax', nothing
seems to work

Just use \\servername in the text box for remote server.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Russ, I did what you suggested and now I get 'You Do Not Have Security
Permissions to Complete the Operation...'
I am logged onto my notebook as a local user and I can access \\Lynserver
shares without any problems. Do I need to set anything special on the 2003
server? Is Vista blocking This fax account setup?

I suspect you'll need to run Vista Fax as an administrator to configure the
Account.

Not if you're using UAC. Elevate to run as an administrator in the context
menu when you launch Fax and Scan.

I've been struggling with this exact same issue, with SBS 2003 R2 and Vista
Ultimate. The Fax works great within SBS for receiving. However, I can't
connect at all to send through Vista. Exact same error as mentioned earlier
in this thread.

Somebody must know how to fix this!

Anyone?

Thanks,
Alan

I'll ping the developers over this, but you'll find earlier posts on this
issue in this group to which the Vista Fax developers themselves have
responded. They normally do not monitor and do not respond to posts here.
Unfortunately, no user ever bothered to post back with the information they
need to troubleshoot these issues. Read those earlier posts and provide the
information they requested.

I scanned back for about 10 pages but couldn't find any thread referring to
this issue. I'll be happy to provide whatever info the developers need - just
let me know what.

I gave up on VISTA - I ripped it out and loaded XP. Everything works fine now.

The developers said all you had to do was lose the backslash.
