[SOLVED] Contact your fax administrator for more information.

Hello!

I just recently installed SBS2008 as a domain controller which is king over about 15 vista machines and two xp machines.

I've set up the fax on sbs 2008 and I've shared it with everyone. It is sending and receiving faxes locally, but when i attempt to set up one of the other machines on the network by going to:

Windows Fax and Scan > Fax Accounts > Add Account > Network Fax Server > \\mail
i get this error: You do not have security permissions to complete this action. Contact your fax administrator for more information.

Does anybody have a clue why I can't do this?

Thanks! P.S. - I have not tried on an xp machine yet.

Found Solution:

Open up the SBS 2008 Roles, make sure Fax Service is installed. Once installed, expand Roles > Fax Service > right click on Fax and go to properties.

Choose security tab and add the users, in my case I just added domain\users then clicked on advanced then double clicked on the domain\users account i just added. I then proceeded to check the appropriate boxes. Choose apply, Ok, close everything.

Of course make sure you go to printers and share the fax machine. Good luck!
