Also, further in your script, I notice that it does not like the server name as specified. That is probably because of the hyphen in the name. Best to put it in quotes.

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity ($Env:"amber-server" + "\Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive " + $Env:"amber-server") -MaxProtocolErrors 500

Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity ($Env:"amber-server" + "\Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive " + $Env:"amber-server") -MaxProtocolErrors 500

What if you did the following:

$serverName = "Amber-Server"
Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity ($ServerName + "\Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive " + $ServerName) -MaxProtocolErrors 500

[PS] C:\Windows\System32>$serverName = "Ambered-Server"
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity ($ServerName + "\Windows SBS Fax Sha
repoint Receive " + $ServerName) -MaxProtocolErrors 500

When you get that response, it means that the setting is already applied so it made no changes.
