To create new FaxPress users from existing domain users or groups, follow these steps:

1. Go to Start>Programs>FaxPress>Administration Tools>Import Network Users.

The User Registration Wizard will walk you through the set up process.

2. Enter the FaxPress Server Name, User name and Password.

You can use the FaxPress Server Name drop down list to enter your server name.

When done, click Next>.

3. The User Domain Information window will be displayed. This window allows you to choose whether you want to add users from a domain or from a group within a domain and to select the specific user group or domain to add to FaxPress.

 

a. Select either a Domain or Group.
b. Either enter the path for you user group or domain, or click on Browse to use your Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) to find groups.

The path for your domain or group must conform to ADSI standards; for example: WinNT://MyGroup/MyDomain

c. When the ADSI Browser opens, click on WinNT.This initiates a network-wide search for the NT domains and, if you selected group, the groups within each domain. The search can take up to 15 minutes or more depending on the size of your network.
d. If you previously chose Domain, double-click on the domain in which the users you want to synchronize with the FaxPress are located.
e. If you previously chose Group, click once on the (+) selection box of the domain directory containing the group with the users you want to synchronize. Double-click on the group you want to use.
4. Specify privileges for new users in the User Setting for New Users screen.

You can use the drop down list to choose an existing mailbox as the basis for the new mailboxes.

 

5. If the FaxPress is configured for DID or DTMF automatic routing, you may assign mailbox ID numbers to all users you want to have direct fax numbers. DID and DTMF mailbox ID numbers must be 3 or 4 digits.

The program automatically generates an identifier number for each new user. Mailbox identifiers may have up to four digits.

6. From the group you have chosen, specify some or all users.

Click on >> to move selected users to the Add list. FaxPress mailboxes will be created for all users in the Add list. To remove a user from the Select Users to Add list, highlight the user you want to remove and click <<.

7. If there are FaxPress users without NT privileges, assign them privileges.

This screen presents users that you have added using individual FaxPress user creation procedures who cannot (at least at this point) actually login to NT.

8. Review your choices in the Option Verification Window.

If everything is right, click on Finish, or click <Back to change settings.

9. After the program completes creating the new mailboxes, a prompt appears informing you that the operation is done and allowing you to view the transaction log.
10. To view the log, click on Yes. The log is displayed using Notepad. If you choose No or when you exit the log, the program returns you to the desktop.
11. When done, close Notepad. You are finished adding the NT Users.
