Save file to Sharepoint Document Library by NETWORK SERVICE

Question

First of all, I apologise for any inaccuracy/mistakes - it is my first post here.

Here is the scenario:

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 with roles:

• Active Directory
• Fax Server
• Web Server (IIS)
• File Services
• Printing Server
• Application Server
• There is also Desktop Experience Feature for accessing UNC shares from localhost

I have installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 on this server. On Default SP Web App (which is managed by SPIntranetAppPool (identity - SPIntranetSite) ) i have images library called "Faxes".

Fax messages are received by fax process (FXSVC.EXE) which has NETWORK SERVICE identity.

The problem is: I want fax process to save incoming faxes to SP library. I set incoming routing for fax server role to save in "\host\Faxes" but it doesn't. I also give permissions in "Faxes" SP Library for NETWORK SERVICE. But it doesn't work. The problem is harder because it doesn't show any clue in fax role event log.

I really appreciate any clue or help.

Answer 1

A cleaner approach to this might be to mail-enable your library and configure the fax server to mail new faxes to the library's address. I know that seems a bit much since they're both on the same machine, but it has the advantage of using simple and well-understood technology in both SP and Fax Server.
