Neil - That's wonderful! Now my only question is where you found that info (such as your technical note). Thanks again, Mark -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Neil Myers Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 5:59 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Shared Fax Service Mark, Sorry :) I see what you are after (I think). As far as I can see there is very little interconnection between SFS, Exchange and AD, so I would think these would not be required. However, I wasn't aware that you could run SBS2000 without AD. Anyway, the SFS has it's own MMC, and all settings are independent of AD/Exchange. However, if you want to route faxes through email or receive confirmations via email then you need to set up the link to Exchange, but this is just a case of filling in the SMTP server details on the SFS MMC, assuming Exchange is installed. At the workstation end, the SFS client is used just like any other printer attached to the network. On a technical note, the Shared Fax Service requires that only these services are running: Plug and Play Print Spooler RPC Telephony No services require SFS to be running.
