This event is logged when the Fax Service was stopped.
Resolution :
Restart the Fax service
The Fax service might need to be restarted if it was stopped manually, if it had an initialization error, or if it is denied system resources by another
application. If you encounter this problem, restart the Fax service. You can manage the Fax service using Services in Server Manager or Computer Management, the
Fax Server role page in Server Manager, or Fax Service Manager.
To configure fax components, you must be a member of the Administrators group
or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To restart the Fax service using Fax Service Manager: - To open Fax Service Manager,
click Start , point to Administrative Tools , and then click Fax Service Manager .
- In the right pane, right-click Fax , and
then click Stop to stop the service.
- In the right pane, right-click Fax , and then click Start to restart the service.
- To ensure that
the service is running, right-click Fax again and confirm that Start is grayed out and that Stop is active on the menu.
Verify :
To confirm the Fax service is available, you should confirm that the service is running and that startup is set to automatic.
Then, if the service is
not running, you should confirm the following: - Confirm that there are no active clients connected to the server or that there is no active processing to do. In
the absence of active clients or processing, the Fax service will stop. The service will automatically start when clients connect to the fax server and request its services,
or when the server has some pending tasks in the queue. As a result, the service may seem to be in a stopped state, but this is actually because there is no processing
to do—not because the server is in a bad health state.
- Confirm that none of the services that the Fax service depends are on are disabled (this would cause the
Fax service to fail to start).
To configure fax components, you must be a member of the Administrators group or you must have been delegated
the appropriate authority.
Confirm the Fax service is running
To confirm that the Fax service is running you can either use Fax Service
Manager, the Services snap-in, or the net start fax command.
To confirm that the Fax service is running using Fax Service Manager: - To open Fax
Service Manager, click Start , point to Administrative Tools , and then click Fax Service Manager .
- In the right pane, right-click
Fax , and then view the menu.
- Confirm that Start is grayed out and that Stop is active on the menu.
