Windows Fax Server

Problem Description:

I have a Windows 2003 server that has Microsoft Fax
server installed. I have shared the fax server on our
network. This computer is a client of the Windows 2003
server and has the print driver installed in Printers and
Faxes. It indicates "Fax" on Pageserv the (Windows 2003
Server). I can successfully send a test print to the
Windows 2003 server through note pad.

When I use a fax utility to generate and send a fax that
bypasses the address book and wizard an error message
pops up in the event viewer as follows...

"
The outgoing routing rule is not valid because it cannot
find a valid device. The outgoing faxes that use this
rule will not be routed. Verify that the targeted device
or devices (if routed to a group of devices) is connected
and installed correctly, and turned on. If routed to a
group, verify that the group is configured correctly.
Country/region code: '*' Area code: '*'
"
and a second entry...

"
Fax Service failed to initialize any assigned fax devices
(virtual or TAPI). No faxes can be sent or received until
a fax device is installed.
"

This utility works if it is run on the Windows 2003
server. I do have one client station in our network that
will work with this utility. The only difference in the
boxes is the one that works has no internal modem. I
tried removing the modem from this box - same error
message.

Domain and User ID's are identical on the boxes (clients).

Please Help!

I can't help with Windows 2003 Server Fax, but I can assure you that those
who can will need a more complete and accurate description of how you
installed and configured the client fax software.
