Can't send a fax in Vista as a client to SBS 2003 R2

ejskyz

I've setup the SBS 2003 R2 with the Fax server configured and it can
recieve a fax. I've pushed the client fax ware out to all of the
workstations which have Vista Ultimate SP1. I've configured the Windows
Fax and scan to the fax server on the SBS 2003 by the server's name. But
when I go to send a test fax it states that "it couldn't find a
coverpage" and I've clicked ok and it goes to send it anyway then it
states " the message could not be sent. The media is write protected."
But the media was created on the Windows Fax and Scan interface.
Has anyone come accross this issue?

Are the connections to the fax server otherwise intact, i.e., can you send
faxes from the clients that do not involve cover pages?
You said that you pushed the fax client out to all workstations, then you
said you were using WFS. Which are you using?

I didn't install virtural pc 2007 or any virtural pc. This is a new
network setup where there are five workstations. four of the
workstations have Vista Ultimate and the other is XPpro SP2 (laptop) and
I've added them to the domain. The server is Small Business Server 2003
R2 (SBS03R2) with all of its updates including the KB926505. I've
installed a PCI Faxmodem manufactured by Zoom. Then I updated driver and
configured the modem card for dial rules as default settings. Then I
setup the fax server using the todo list wizard and only selected for
the inbound faxes to goto a shared folder which allows everybody to have
full controll. Then after completing the wizard I gave every user Fax
operator rights and then went to application push wizard to push the new
shares fax client to all five workstations. Then I went to each
workstation loged off and loged onto the domain as each user which I've
gave each user rights as administrator on each computer and installed
the fax client feature. On the Vista Computers I didn't get an error
message after it installed so I loged off and then logged back on like
microsoft stated in their KB article on how to setup the fax clients.
Then I had some one send me a test fax and I was able to recieve it and
view it on all of the workstations. Then I went to send a test fax and
on the xppro workstaion recieved an error on it can't send due to the
firewall not allowing it to be sent. But on the Vista workstations I
recieved two messages. When I send the new fax it guided me to setup a
network fax server or local which I've setup the fax server and gave the
server's name and it went alright. Then went to create / send a fax from
within the Windows Fax and Send console and recieved a message that
stated It could not find a cover page, so I selected okay. Then it
seemed to allow me to type in the fax number and type a message which I
did. Then when I pressed the send button it gave another message stating
It couldn't send message and "the media is write protected." Now I'm
stumped at what it could be any suggestions?
