PROCEDURE TO CONFIGURE FAX MAPI ACCOUNT ON OUTLOOK, USING SBS 2003
I normally run the connectcomputer script that small business server provides to preconfigure a user in the network. This takes care of configuring the Fax account on Outlook.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to configure it directly on Oulook 2007. I tried sharing the "Mailbox - Fax" and giving the user permissions, like you would to share any other exchange mailbox, but that doesn't work.
Basically, I need to add the "Mailbox - Fax" on a user with Outlook 2007, for all the incoming faxes.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Does the mailbox exist in the Exchange System Manager.
Have you tried logging into the domain with the AD account and opening up Outlook?

It does exist in the ESM, but it's not a regular account you can log in with. Windows Small Business Server 2003 creates it as part of the start up scripts when installing the OS the first time.
Hi
I know there is a way of using the fax mail transport account, but this has never showed up as an account in Outlook for me, this just gives me the ability to use Outlook to send faxes, this is not what you are after, correct?
To add this functionality, simply add a new account in your Profile and select 'other types' - select the fax mail transport account and press OK.

I am running SBS2003 in-house and with many of my customers. I have never seen a Fax mailbox in the ESM.
ASKER
Really?... then where does it store the incoming Faxes to?
Confirmed, we have a Fax mailbox both on the AD and the ESM.

Sorry, I meant we have a Fax account no the AD, and a mailbox on the ESM.
You can not have a mailbox without having an AD account, the both are linked.

Who is the user associated with this account?
