Re: Fax Services



Greatly appreciated for the detailed installation. Here is my situation.

On Add/Remove Programs Fax Services was ticketed already. I went ahead &
installed an external USB Duxbury Modem (with Windows XP Drivers as advised
by Duxbury themselves). Immediately on opening printers & faxes, FAX was
there. Shared it & created individual user rights (system works on Active
Directory).

Tested it on Server (with all features on Tracking ticked) & one client.
Works fine, sending out faxes.

Problem is that when I try to configure on Server Management under Fax
(Local) Configure Fax, it gives me the response that FAX Services has to be
installed, of which I understand it alread is. The other options like modem
options on FAX (Local) work perfectly fine, should I ignore this error since
it is working? Because I know with Internet Configuration on SERVER
MANAGEMENT its gives the same errors, I think SERVER MANAGEMENT is damaged
or corrupted.

Thanks
