Re: need to install fax service on SBS 2000 in 2007

SBS2000 support lifecycle says 'depends on components' but Windows 2000
Server is in 'extended' rather than 'end of life'.

Well I don't know how to break this to you, but there isn't
And SBS 2000 has reached end of life for support. You will probably get
some additional security patches for a while, but that will end too

You have two options
Either purchase a 3rd party Fax Server product
OR
Upgrade to SBS 2003 now on new 64 bit hardware and get software assurance
to cover the next version of SBS, whenever that becomes available

So two years ago we installed the windows installer 3.0 and can't remove
it
now to install the fax service. See kb 899748

So how do I do it NOW....

We are going to be moving to SBS 2003/2007 in approx 7 months but in the
mean time I need this working NOW. The knowladge base artical 899748
which
was written in July of 05 says to un-install the installer. Well back
then
that would have been easy. But with the 70+ patches and updates that
have
since been rolled out since that time it no longer valid information. I
do
NOT want to even attempt to uninstall them all and get screwed, hacked or
have it just suddenly have the server NOT work anymore because one or
more of
the roll backs causes problems with something else that has also been
installed in the last two years.

There has to be a way currently to install this service ASAP.

Thanks

Fred
