Microsoft fax services windows 7

I have done everything I know. 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.

Delivery notification receipts provide users with information about the success or failure of their sent faxes. The following options can be configured for delivery receipts:. Enable SMTP e-mail receipts delivery. An e-mail receipt is sent to the user who sent the fax, to confirm whether the fax has been sent correctly.

To configure this option, you must specify an e-mail address from which receipts will be sent to fax senders, the IP address of the SMTP server, and the port number of the SMTP service. You must also select the appropriate authentication method for accessing the SMTP server. The following authentication methods can be chosen:.

In From e-mail address , type the e-mail address from which the receipt will be sent. You can use Outgoing Routing in Fax Service Manager to configure routing rules for outgoing faxes to optimize use of available fax devices. You can use Fax Service Manager to create groups of one or more fax devices, and then associate outgoing rules with these groups. For example, you can designate specific fax devices to send faxes to only specific destinations. By default, there is a group, All devices , that cannot be deleted.

You can add or remove groups, or devices from groups, at any time. A device can also belong to one or more groups simultaneously. When you create a new group, it is not active until you add a fax device to it. Groups that do not contain devices display a mark over the group folder icon. Outgoing faxes are routed to groups according to the outgoing routing rules.

Fax Service Manager notes the destination of the fax, routes it to the appropriate group, and accesses the first available device in that group for transmission. In the left pane, double-click Fax , double-click Outgoing Routing , right-click Groups , point to New , and then click Group. To perform this procedure, you must first have created a group.

You can add or remove devices from groups at any time. Fax devices in a group can be sorted into priority order, so that the highest priority device in a group will attempt to send a fax first. If it is busy, the next highest priority device will attempt to send. In the left pane, double-click Fax , double-click Outgoing Routing , and then double-click Groups. Right-click the group to which you want to add a device, point to New , and then click Device s.

To change the priority order of devices within a group, in the right pane, right-click a device, click Move Up or Move Down , and then click Yes to confirm. To later remove the device from the group, in the right pane, right-click the device, and then click Delete. You can use Fax Service Manager to create rules for routing outgoing faxes. For example, you can create a group for local destinations and another for domestic long distance destinations, or a group for a specific foreign destination.

Using these rules helps you ensure that your fax devices are used efficiently, and outgoing faxes do not spend idle time in queues. If all of the devices in a group are constantly busy, or if faxes accumulate within queues, check the group and rule configurations.

In the left pane, double-click Fax , and then double-click Outgoing Routing. Right-click Rules , point to New , and then click Rule. If you are not sure of the code, click Select.
