I found this post in microsoft.public.win2000.fax

I have tried to follow it but still am having no luck, maybe I should
reinstall the fax service now that I have performed the described actions.

I read:

" I found the answer on another string. It was posted by Vonid from
Microsoft.
This problem seems to occur when you try to install Fax Services on a domain
controller. Here is what Vonid said:

[Beginning]
Fax Service runs under the account NETWORK SERVICE. In most cases on DC,
such issues happen when applying the domain policy changes the policies that
apply to NETWORK SERVICE. The following policies need to be enabled for
NETWORK SERVICE for fax to work.

(1) Adjust memory quotas for a process
(2) Generate security audits
(3) Log on as a service
(4) Replace a process level token
[End]

If your having this problem on a domain controller then this is were you can
find the settings:
(Start | All programs | Admistrative Tools | Domain Controller Security
Policy)
In the left pane, choose Local Policies then User Rights Assignment. You
will then see the setting on the right.

If your having this problem on a local machine then this is were you can
find the settings:
(Start | All programs | Admistrative Tools | Local Security Policy)
In the left pane, choose Local Policies then User Rights Assignment. You
will then see the setting on the right.

I hope this helps everyone. The more we get this answer out there the easier
it will be for others to find it.
