Unable to Route incoming faxes to a sharpoint document library

Platform: SBS 2003 - Fully service packed with Sharpoint Services V2

After rebuilding an SBS2003 server and restoring the CompanyWeb databases (Content / Config) we are unable to Route incoming faxes to a Sharpoint document library after changing the company webs site name from companyweb to intranet.

When re-creating the company web site we changed the IIS site name from CompanyWeb to Intranet. The company web (Now called Intranet) works fine.

When running the Fax setup wizard and changing 'Store in Document Library' (DEFAULT) document library from http://companyweb/IncommingFaxes to http://intranet/Incommingfaxes we have an error 'A Library or subfolder is missing'. Also, when we click the Browse button, COMPANYWEB is the route Site and not INTRANET.

How have you changed the name?

The way to do it is to add a host header with the new name in IIS, then add a cname entry in DNS.

If you actually rename the site, the wizards and integration such as fax will break.

Hi... I updated DNS etc. As noted the site http://intranet if working fine. You are correct that a link has been broken, any idea's how I can fix this. Pointers to where Fax setup wizards gets its sharpoint info from. May be I can change the location in the Registry etc....

You need to uninstall and re-install the companyweb element from the SBS discs. Once it is re-installed and in place, add a host header to the site in IIS and then add the cname entry in dns. That is the only way I know of doing this.

If you try to change registry entries etc you run the risk of breaking more stuff.

We have tried routing to http://companyweb/infomming%20%faxes. The fax wizards does not give an error when seting this url as the document library. However, faxes are not routed and we get the following event logged :-

EVENT ID: 32089
The Fax Service failed to execute a specific routing method. The service will retry to route the fax according to the retries configuration. If the retries fail, verify routing method configuration.

We solved the problem.

We changed the default site name of the top level site via site settings from companyweb to intranet and faxes can now be stored in document library at http://intranet/incomming faxes.

Many thanks for your advice on this.
