Help me with my FAX Services please

Recommended Posts

I am haveing trouble setting up my FAX Service software. when I start the FAX Service management it gives me this message

 

Could not open a connection to the fax service.

 

The fax service might not be strted or the computer name might be incorrect.

 

so i tried to force it to start in SERVICES. It is set to manual and i changed it to START, when i do that i get this messge

 

Could not start the Fax Service service on local computer

 

error:1068 the dependency service or group failed to start.

 

I have a modem installed and i am logging on as the Administrator. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, Sparkhard

Here is a link on configuring the service:

 

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/51.ASP

 

But I think your issue may revolve around the summary sentence:

 

"To gain access to the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) e-mail client profile, you must configure the Microsoft Windows 2000 Fax Service to run under an Administrator account. "

 

I ran into this same problem trying to connect to my servers with perfmon. If you don't know how to do this, reply here.
