My boss just upgraded from WinXP to Win8 (finally!) and used to have a program c:\windows\system32\fxsclnt.exe which opened a Microsoft Fax Console that let her see a log of all incoming/outgoing faxes from our Win2003 server that is running MS Fax Services. She also had another similar shortcut to send a fax.

On Win8 I'm looking at the "Fax and Scan" UI (it is installed) but I'm not seeing any options to connect to a remote PC to manage/view that one. Is this no longer possible with Win8 or do I just need to install something?

It is Win8 Pro. I can't really just switch to a 3rd party solution because we have several others (still on XP) using this existing system, at least for now.

In Windows Fax and Scan select the Tools menu and then Fax Accounts. Click Add to add the Fax server. I can verify this works when connecting to a Windows 2008 or 2008 R2 server running the Fax service.

  • Thanks for the quick help. I'm getting a security error when I attempt to do these steps (after entering server name), but I imagine I'll either figure that out or start another question.
