Configure Fax properties – Windows server 2008

• Within Server Manager, expand Roles and then expand Fax Server.
• Right-click Fax and choose Properties.
• On the Receipts tab, click the box labeled Enable SMTP E-Mail Receipts Delivery and
  enter a From e-mail address, SMTP server address, and port number.
• Select the Activity Logging tab. Click the boxes next to Log Incoming Fax Activity and
  Log Outgoing Fax Activity.
• In the Activity Log Folder text box, enter the path to store the activity log. The default
  location is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax\ActivityLog.
• Select the Outbox tab, check the Automatically Delete Faxes Older Than option and
  then choose the number of days to keep faxes.
• Select the Archives tab and then check Archive All Faxes to This Folder.
• Browse to the location that should be used to store archived faxes. The default is
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax.
• To allow faxes to be reassigned, select the Accounts tab and then check the On box
  under Reassign Settings.
• Click OK.

Defining a Dialing Rule

Setting up dialing rules will help the fax server understand what your area requires. For
example, most locations in the United States require dialing a 1 before dialing a number
outside a local area code. When dialing within an area code, only 7 digits are needed.
Alternatively, if a local area uses 10-digit dialing, a user has to put in an area code plus the
7-digit phone number. As you can see, by setting up the dialing rules first, you keep your
users from having to enter numbers such as 1 before the area code.You can configure the
following options for dialing rules:
Dialed Number You can enter a region code and area code.
Target Device Choose to apply your rule to devices.

Configuring a Dialing Rule

• Under Fax Server in Server Manager, expand Outgoing Routing.
• Right-click on Rules and choose New and then Rule.
• In the Dialed Number section of the Add New Rule dialog box, enter your region
  code. If you are unsure, click Select and then choose from the list.
• In the Target Device section, choose whether you want this rule to apply to a device
  or a routing group and then choose from the list in the drop-down box.
• Click OK.

• Exchange View Only Administrator – Gives users or groups the ability to view the Exchange organization and server configuration. Mailbox administrators required this role in order to
  enumerate Exchange server names, storage groups, and mailbox store
  names.
• Exchange Administrator – Gives users or groups the ability to manage (create/change/delete)
  Exchange objects at either the organization level or within a specific
  administrative group, depending on where the role was delegated.
• Exchange Full Administrator – Gives users or groups all of the permissions that an Exchange
  Administrator has but also the ability to change permissions on objects.

The Exchange View-Only Administrators
role allows an administrator to view the Exchange configuration, but they cannot make any changes.
The Exchange Recipient Administrator role has the permissions to modify Exchange-related
properties of mail-enabled objects such as users, contacts, and groups. This information would
include information such as e-mail addresses, home server, Client Access server, and Unified
Messaging. This permission includes only read and write permissions to Exchange properties
for objects found in the Users container in each domain in which the Exchange 2007 Prepare-
Domain process has been run. For additional management permissions, an administrator
would have to be delegated Active Directory permissions to manage objects in an OU, given
membership in the Account Operators group, or be a member of Domain Admins. If a user or
group is delegated the Exchange Recipient Administrators, that user or group will have these
permissions for the entire organization.

The Exchange Public Folder Administrator role provides permissions to manage the public
folder hierarchy and public folder properties. This permission is new to Exchange 2007 Service
Pack 1.

The Exchange Server Administrator role can be delegated permissions to one or more
individual Exchange 2007 servers regardless of the roles that server maintains. Someone with
these permissions can manage any configuration data for that particular server, has the
Exchange View Only Administrators role, and will be made a member of the computer’s local
Administrators group. This role allows medium and large organizations to delegate
permissions for Exchange management more precisely.

Exchange Organization Administrator role provides the permissions necessary to
manage the organization wide properties of Exchange 2007 including connectors, accepted
e-mail domains, transport rules, Unified Messaging properties, ActiveSync policies, managed
folders, messaging records management policies, and managing global settings. This role is by
far the most powerful of the five Exchange 2007 roles.

Every time you open Outlook 2007 you are prompted to enter your domain credentials ,even though you know you have saved it?

To solve it try that one:
Open the following path:
In Vista C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
Once open you will see numerous folders including a “protect” folder.
Delete the “protect” folder
When you have deleted the protect folder, restart Outlook.
You will be requested to enter your password again, but it will be the last time.

If problem exist When working RPC over HTTPs

If you are working RPC over https you are using or basic, or NTLM authentication
you need to be sure you are working NTLM.
Now in order to ensure that outlook not uses any cached password we need to do the following.
Go to Control Panel>User Acounts
Press on Advanced Tab button
Click on Manage Passwords button
Review stored passwords , and if you see IP address of your mail server you should delete it.

Now we need to patch te registry

1. Click Start|Run
2. Type regedit and press enter
3. Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
4. Find lmcompatibilitylevel DWORD parameter
5. Double-click on it and change its value to 3

If “Remember my password” doesn’t work and you keep getting prompted:

1. Close your Outlook
2. Go to Start… Run and type control userpasswords2 and press OK c) click on the Advanced tab and press ‘Manage Passwords’
3. Find the entry for your mail server and click ‘Properties’
4. Erase the Server name and type in ‘S1′ or whatever the simple name of your global catalog server is (without the quotes)
5. leave the password blank and click OK
6. Start Outlook, enter your password and check off ‘Remember my password’ one last time. It should not prompt again.

When you start Microsoft Outlook 2000/2002, you may receive following error messages:

Your logon information was incorrect.
Check your username and domain, then type your password again.
The logon credentials supplied were incorrect.
Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because registry may be missing one or more values in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
The following values are the core required values for Windows XP or Windows 2000:
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
ncacn_http REG_SZ Rpcrt4.dll
ncacn_ip_tcp REG_SZ Rpcrt4.dll
ncacn_np REG_SZ Rpcrt4.dll
ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ Rpcrt4.dll
ncadg_ip_udp REG_SZ Rpcrt4.dll

The following values are the core required values for Windows 98:
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
ncacn_np REG_SZ Rpcltc1.dll
ncalrpc REG_SZ
ncadg_ip_udp REG_SZ Rpcltc3.dll
ncacn_http REG_SZ Rpcltccm.dll

The following values are the core required values for Windows NT 4.0:
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
ncacn_np REG_SZ Rpcltc1.dll
ncalrpc REG_SZ
ncadg_ip_udp REG_SZ RpcLtCcm.dll
ncadg_ip_udp REG_SZ RpcLtCcm.dll
ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ RpcLtCcm.dll
ncacn_http REG_SZ RpcLtCcm.dll
Following the system’s protocol binding order, you receive a prompt for credentials on each missing value until a value that matches the next protocol in the binding order is reached.
RESOLUTION
Use one of the following methods to resolve this behavior.
Method 1
Import a valid registry key from a computer that is working correctly. To do this:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
3. Click the ClientProtocols key.
4. On the File menu, click Export.
5. Save the file with a .reg or a .txt extension in the event you need to send the file by using Outlook. You must save and rename the attachment to a .reg extension to import the key.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
7. Rename the file that you just exported from a .txt file extension to a .reg extension, and then copy it to a folder on your computer.
8. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
9. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
10. Select the ClientProtocols folder, click File, and then click Import.
11. Select the .reg file that you saved, and then click Open.
12. Quit Registry Editor.
13. Quit and then restart Outlook 2002.
Method 2
Use Registry Editor to manually create the missing values. To do this:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
3. Click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
4. Edit the new string value with the name and data information that is in the table in the “Cause” section of this article.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each missing value.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
