However, only certain settings will be maintained during the upgrade. For example, you must reconfigure fax sharing. In addition, any settings on the Security tab in the Properties dialog box of Fax Service Manager will revert to the default settings. Also, fax user accounts will not be created-you must create them manually. For more information, see the Fax Service Manager Help (at Run, type: HH faxcons.chm).

Your users must have an account to be able to access a fax server running Windows Server 2008. You can configure a fax server so that when a user uses Windows Fax and Scan for the first time to send a fax, an account is automatically created. If you use this setting, as soon as a user connects to the fax server, the account is automatically created. Or, if you want to have a tighter control on the users connecting to the fax server, you can disable this setting-in which case you must manually create the user accounts for all the users who need to access the fax server. If you have disabled the setting and a user tries to connect to the server without having an account already, the connection will be denied.
