Information

Following is the list of access rights which a service logon account must have:

• The 'service logon account' for the services GFI FaxMaker Server and GFI FaxMaker Message Transfer Agent must be started with a user account.
• The 'service logon account' must have the logon as a service right.
• The 'service logon account' must have permission to query the Active Directory Global Catalog.
• The 'service logon account' must have administrative privileges (Full access) to the NTFS folder structures where GFI FaxMaker is installed.
• The 'service logon account' must have administrative privileges (Full access) to the Registry keys used by GFI FaxMaker.
• If GFI FaxMaker is archiving to a database, the 'service logon account' must have access to the database (or you can configure FaxMaker to use the 'sa' (System Admin) account if using SQL).
• The 'service logon account' must have a local user profile (since GFI FaxMaker uses a few aspects of that profile, such as setting the default printer and having access to applications involved in "converting" the outbound faxes).
