Cannot connect to Windows Fax Server when running on the server Windows Server 2008 R2. I have done everything I know.
1)Installed Fax Server Role successfully on the 2008 Server
2)Went to the Control Panel and "Shared" the Fax printer so that all clients should be able to see it on the network
3)Went into Fax Service Manager and setup ALL the options in the "Properties" folder to allow the security and even had the Automatically create client button checked so that when you log on it should create the client automatically.
When I go on a client machine, and try to set up the Account Options in the Windows Fax & Scan program, I get the following message when I type my Server name into the space: ie "\\OfficeServer
The message is the following: The mentioned fax server is not available. Please correct the server name and try again.
I know that the server name is correct and I have tried adding a user to the group and manually assigning a client rather than have Windows automatically capture it when they log on.
Need Help BAD! This should be sooooo easy to do, yet Windows has made this a nightmare just by reading the articles on this Forum. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
