Enabling Outlook to talk to the Shared Fax Service on SBS

[Guest]

Hello,

I have SBS 2000 Shared Fax Service. I've read someplace that in order to
get Outlook to talk to the Fax service, you have to install the Fax Mail
Transport service. How do you do this?

The method depends on the version of outlook you use. The
installation is done at the workstation although there is
probably some way to automate it. Since we only have 4
workstations I just do things like this manually.

If all you want to do is fax to people in your address book,
the fax mail transport service doesn't have to be installed.
Just click on the "address" button in the fax wizard and it
will present your address book.
