| | Trying to fax using 2003 server from vista machine 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 -- Thanks, Uwe |

| | Re: Trying to fax using 2003 server from vista machine 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? -- Thanks, Uwe "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > Just use \\servername in the text box for remote server. > -- > Russ Valentine > [MVP-Outlook] > "Uwe" <Uwe@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:689C4D2A-940C-4FE5-849C-9E386457CB23@microsoft.com... > >I see the server fax as a printer in Vista machine but it insists on > >setting > > up an account.

| | Re: Trying to fax using 2003 server from vista machine 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?
