shared fax

About this tag
The shared fax tag covers issues with using a Windows Small Business Server 2000 or 2003 R2 shared fax from Windows 7 Professional. Users report that while Windows 2000 and XP clients can print to the shared fax like a printer, Windows 7 machines encounter errors when trying to send faxes. Common problems include prompts to create a fax account or difficulty locating the shared fax server. Troubleshooting steps involve installing the network fax as a printer and entering the server path, but Windows 7 may still fail to connect. These threads focus on legacy SBS shared fax compatibility with newer Windows clients.
