I'm running the shared fax service in Windows Server 2003.  I have
salesmen using it to send a fax daily to numerous numbers on their
distribution list (FYI, this is not spamming, these are customers
wanting daily quotes).  When one salesman sends his batch, the next
salesman can not successfully send his batch until all of the faxes
from the previous salesman's batch have had at least one transmission
attempt.
I don't mean that the second batch gets queued behind the first (which
would be the goal), but rather the second batch can't even be
successfully enqueued from the client until the first batch has been
worked through.
I'm looking for a solution for this issue.

Request for Question Clarification by legolas-ga on 25 Jun 2005 09:47 PDT

Can you post any error messages (exact verbiage) and/or log entries
that include *any* errors related to the problem? I've searched
through the entire technet library from Microsoft, and haven't found
any known issues with the software.

There is an alternative, there are sites that can perform remote
support of your server and fix your problem remotely. I've found a few
of those types of sites... If I can't track down your problem on here,
would you be interested in some links to remote support companies? The
ones I'm thinking of are Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers that do
this type of repair on a freelance basis.

Let me know,

Dude, for $45 more you can have Microsoft work on this issue for you.
I suggest calling them. It sounds like a bug and they may have an
undocumented patch or registry tweak for this issue.


Good luck
