<1> Section 2.1: In Windows, the fax client opens the underlying RPC over SMB transport for communication with the fax server before calling FAX_ConnectFaxServer (section 3.1.4.1.10) or FAX_ConnectionRefCount (section 3.1.4.1.11) with a Connect argument of Connect (0x00000001) to connect with the fax server. The fax client closes the transport if the call made to connect to the fax server fails; otherwise, the fax client closes the transport after calling FAX_ConnectionRefCount with a Connect argument of Disconnect (0x00000000) to disconnect from the fax server.

The fax server opens the underlying RPC over SMB transport for communication with the fax client acting as an RPC server when the fax server executes FAX_StartServerNotification (section 3.1.4.1.100), FAX_StartServerNotificationEx (section 3.1.4.1.101), or FAX_StartServerNotificationEx2 (section 3.1.4.1.102) to connect to the fax client, before calling FAX_OpenConnection (section 3.2.4.5). The fax server closes the transport if the method call made to connect to the fax client fails; otherwise, the fax server closes the transport when the fax server executes FAX_EndServerNotification (section 3.1.4.1.17) to disconnect from the fax client, after calling FAX_CloseConnection (section 3.2.4.4).

<67> Section 3.1.4.1.5: This method causes the server to create a registry entry for the newly added group in the system registry. If a group with a blank name ("") is added, no new registry key is added. This is because a registry key requires at least one character in order to exist in the registry. If a group with a blank name is added, the server returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when the client calls FAX_RemoveOutboundGroup (section 3.1.4.1.71).

<68> Section 3.1.4.1.5: A fax server running on a Windows client operating system returns an error on receipt of this method call. The fax server returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER to FAX_API_VERSION_0 protocol clients. The fax server returns FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU to protocol clients running other protocol versions.

<69> Section 3.1.4.1.6: A fax server running on a Windows client operating system returns an error on receipt of this method call. The fax server returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER to FAX_API_VERSION_0 protocol clients. The fax server returns FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU to protocol clients running other protocol versions.

<70> Section 3.1.4.1.7: The FAX_CheckServerProtSeq method is supported on BackOffice Server 2000, Small Business Server 2000, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The method returns ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED for all versions of Windows that are not supported.

<149> Section 3.1.4.1.71: In Windows operating systems, if a group with a blank name ("") has already been added and this method is used to remove this group (lpwstrGroupName = ""), this method will return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. This is a result of an attempt to remove the blank registry key corresponding to the blank group name in the system registry. Blank registry keys do not exist, so the registry path will actually refer to the parent registry entry, which the user does not have permission to remove.

<150> Section 3.1.4.1.71: A fax server running on a Windows client operating system returns an error on receipt of this method call. The fax server returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER to FAX_API_VERSION_0 protocol clients. The fax server returns FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU to protocol clients running other protocol versions.

<151> Section 3.1.4.1.72: When the fax service is running on a Client Windows build (not a Server build) and the Fax Service Manager is not installed, the Windows implementation of the fax service returns the FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU error to FAX_RemoveOutboundRule (section 3.1.4.1.72) calls (translated to ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER for FAX_API_VERSION_0 clients). On Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, the fax service checks whether the "Microsoft-Windows-Fax-Common-EnableServerPolicy" policy exists and is set to a nonzero value. If the policy exists and is set to a nonzero value, the fax service determines that the service is running on a Server Windows build and allows the FAX_RemoveOutboundRule call. If the policy is set to a value of zero or if the policy does not exist, the fax service determines that the service is running on a Client Windows build and fails the FAX_RemoveOutboundRule call with the FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU/ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error. On all other Windows versions, the fax service checks the operating system information for the computer it is running on to determine if the service is running on a Server or Client Windows build. If the fax service is running on a Client Windows build, the fax service fails the FAX_RemoveOutboundRule call with the FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU/ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER error.

<152> Section 3.1.4.1.73:  Windows implementations returns ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED to FAX_SendDocumentEx (section 3.1.4.1.73) for the request described by a non-NULL hJob and a dwReserved[0] value of 0xFFFF1234 in the lpJobParams structure argument.

<153> Section 3.1.4.1.73: In Windows, the underlying RPC protocol [MS-RPCE] implementation can stop the invalid call and throw an exception before the call reaches the fax server.

<154> Section 3.1.4.1.73: A fax server running on a Windows client operating system returns an error on receipt of this method call. The fax server returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER to FAX_API_VERSION_0 protocol clients. The fax server returns FAX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_THIS_SKU to protocol clients running other protocol versions.

<155> Section 3.1.4.1.76: The fax server implementation of FAX_SetConfiguration ignores the ArchiveOutgoingFaxes and ArchiveDirectory members of the FAX_CONFIGURATIONW (section 2.2.28) structure, which are submitted as the FaxConfig parameter. This feature is not supported on BackOffice Server 2000, Small Business Server 2000, Windows SBS 2003, Windows Home Server, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

<156> Section 3.1.4.1.76: In Windows, the fax server implementation of FAX_SetConfiguration does not validate the FAX_TIME (section 2.2.61) values submitted by the client through the StartCheapTime and StopCheapTime FAX_CONFIGURATIONW (section 2.2.28) structure members. The Fax Client API method Fax_SetConfiguration (for more details, see [MSDN-FSCAR]) does validate the same FAX_CONFIGURATIONW members by checking that each Hour FAX_TIME member value is smaller than or equal to 24 hours and that each Minute FAX_TIME member value is smaller than or equal to 60 minutes.

<157> Section 3.1.4.1.76: In Windows, the underlying RPC protocol [MS-RPCE] implementation can stop the invalid call and throw an exception before the call reaches the fax server.
