How to: Copy/restore faxes from one Vista PC to a new one?
Sorry, I don't know step 2., how to add the Fax group to that user's memberships. What exactly need to do to get that done? Thank you for your help! -- SuperFreak |

How to: Copy/restore faxes from one Vista PC to a new one?
Malke;774452 Wrote: 1. Create a matching user account and password on both machines. Example: superfreak for the user and 1234 for the password. It doesn't matter, it just needs to match. 2. Then add the Fax group to that user's memberships. 3. Copy the files to that user's home directory and check the permissions. If they need to be adjusted, take ownership of them as previously detailed. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - 'index' (http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ) I really appreciate your efforts. But I still don't know how to add that specific "Fax group" to the newly created SuperFreak "user's membership". I need more help how to copy faxes from one Vista machine to another. It's weird that Microsoft publish their latest OS without the possibility to copy the user's own faxes to a new PC with the same OS on it. -- SuperFreak |

It's weird that Microsoft publish their latest OS without the possibility to copy the user's own faxes to a new PC with the same OS on it. What part of the instructions at those websites didn't you understand? You obviously have got either Vista Business or Ultimate because the Windows Faxing component isn't included in Vista Home Basic/Premium. Therefore you can create groups and assign users to those groups. I don't think it's a question of not being able to copy particular files. I think it's a permissions issue possibly involving ownership and trying to copy files to a protected directory to which your user has no access rights. I also don't see where you've done what I suggested regarding making the matching user accounts or looking in the Fax program to see if there is an Import function. Perhaps you should have someone who is knowledgeable take a look. This could be a friend (one who is really knowledgeable and not just saying he is) or a professional. I'm not sure what else I can do for you in a newsgroup without being able to see the machine. I'm sorry I was unable to help you. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
