Connect Vista Fax to Server 2003 cannot create fax account

Hi Russ,

I did mention it on the original/first posting. I tried the server name
with & without backslahes, the fax name with & without backslashes, and
server\fax with and without the leading backslashes. It made no difference.

I saw that but needed to confirm exactly what you did before forwarding to
the developers to have a look. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

The developers confirmed that the answer is what I suggested initially. For
WFS to work, the client must be logged onto the domain with credentials the
server understands. Creating a network connection will not work in Vista as
it did in older OS because of the tighter security in Vista: RPC for network
shares no longer remembers credentials because of the security risk that
poses. So RPC for WFS can use only the logged on user token and cannot use a
network share. Makes sense even to a dumb cardiologist. It's called
"progress."

Greetings,
I got same problem at my customer's network with all PC's and server with Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 SP2 (up-to-date) on workgroup (no DC)!

Last week their boss bought new Lenovo laptop with Vista bussiness.
All went well till I need to put him access to their fax server what is running on their upper named server.

Each PC user have same account with same password on server that gives them access to server resource.

Let me just note that all works well on PC's running XP!.

P.S. is there a solution or I must downgrade laptop to XP Pro to make it back working?

You mean a solution other than the one I posted?
Obviously not.

Just wanted to add after a long time of no hope/solution that I called upon OEM Vista Business licence right to downgrade it and I did it.
Installed XP Pro SP3, putted SAME username/password local account on laptop as it is written on server.

Then installed XP Fax service WITHOUT MODEM driver althoe laptop has it and after it I just doubleclicked on server's shared fax "printer" while "exploring" \\SERVERNAME and it works as it should

GL fixing that bug and try to remove workgroup "mode" in near future server products as u did with SMB server products to avoid any more shameful posts.

Best Regards

P.S. it was client side problem not server, because whole time I haven't touched a server, because of lack of faith in Vista as client product

This part I do not fully understand. Wonder if you could answer a few questions.

1. Can WFS add a SBS 2003 fax server as an account?

2. If so, how?

3. If not is there another way to use the fax server in SBS 2003 from a vista machine?

As long as the server fax has been enabled for sharing, it can be used to
create a Fax account in WFS. Just use \\servername in the text box for
remote server.
