I tried the fix mentioned by Charles Crooks in another related news item in
this group:

I have a fix...

The first DC was a win2k standard server. Added a Win2003 Server to the
network. . Did a DCPROMO, reps ok. The problem was caused by the first DC
was still the FSMO, certain Win2003 special accounts such as the required
NETWORK SERVICE were made inactive. Following the info in MS Article
827016, I made the reconmended changes. Then I followed vivian's
reconmendations.

This problem can be caused by some incorrect security settings. Please make
these changes to your Domain Controller group policy

1. Go to administrative tools and open the default domain controller policy

2. Go to local policies\user rights assignment

3. Add the account NETWORK SERVICE to the following rights

Replace a process level token
Generate security audits
Adjust memory quotas for a process
Logon as a service

4. Add the following accounts to "Generate Security Audits"

Local System
Administrators

5. Do a policy refresh and then test the fax service.

Thanks.

This just worked for me. The Fax service manager is accessible and
properties can be
viewed and changed.

Lets hope it persists beyond the first reboot.
