Shared Fax Problem with Windows 2003 the NETWORK SERVICE account and a Domain Controller

S

Shawn P. Ryan

I am still struggeling with the Shared Fax Service on a Windows 2003 Domain
Controller. I know some may say the solution is to get another machine and
another license but that sounds expensive to me! I have tried to work
through the various solutions but still am not able to get the service to
run.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found this post in microsoft.public.win2000.fax

It read:

" I found the answer on another string. It was posted by Vonid from
Microsoft.
This problem seems to occur when you try to install Fax Services on a domain
controller. Here is what Vonid said:

[Beginning]
Fax Service runs under the account NETWORK SERVICE. In most cases on DC,
such issues happen when applying the domain policy changes the policies that
apply to NETWORK SERVICE. The following policies need to be enabled for
NETWORK SERVICE for fax to work.

(1) Adjust memory quotas for a process
(2) Generate security audits
(3) Log on as a service
(4) Replace a process level token
[End]

If your having this problem on a domain controller then this is were you can
find the settings:
(Start | All programs | Admistrative Tools | Domain Controller Security
Policy)
In the left pane, choose Local Policies then User Rights Assignment. You
will then see the setting on the right.

If your having this problem on a local machine then this is were you can
find the settings:
(Start | All programs | Admistrative Tools | Local Security Policy)
In the left pane, choose Local Policies then User Rights Assignment. You
will then see the setting on the right.

I hope this helps everyone. The more we get this answer out there the easier
it will be for others to find it.
