Non-Domain Admin's cannot access Fax Server

We have setup Windows Fax Server on a 2008 R1 32-bit server.

For some reason, only domain admin's can actually connect to this fax server in Windows Fax and Scan (on Windows 7).

When a regular user goes to connect and we put in the fax server it says that the user cannot connect and to contact the administrator.

If we try to bypass that and set the account up through the registry and then send a fax, it tells us "Access is Denied".

You need to enable the Guest account on the server, by default it is disabled and try send the fax with it.

Maybe you may add the user(s) to Power Users group to see if it work?

Tried both - didn't work. Still receiving the error stating "You do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact your fax administrator for more information."

That did not work either. =\.
This issue was resolved simply by rebuilding the server. We must have messed something up when tinkering. Thanks all for the help.
