The Fax Service crashes when a fax server receives a fax on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You install the Fax Server role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 .
  • You configure the Fax Server role to route incoming faxes to an e-mail address.
In this scenario, the Fax Service may crash when a fax arrives. Additionally, the sender of the fax receives a notification that the fax is sent successfully. However, the fax is not routed to the specified e-mail address.

Also, the following events are logged in the Application log:

Event ID 32089
Event ID 32083
NoteThis problem is not specific to the Fax Server role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. This problem can occur when any application or service makes some Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) calls to the Inetcomm.dll module on a computer that is running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

↑ Back to the top


Cause

The Fax Server role makes some CDO calls to the Inetcomm.dll module to route a fax to an e-mail address. Every time that a fax is routed, the Inetcomm.dll module is loaded and then unloaded.

However, two classes are not unregistered when this module is unloaded. If the module is reloaded at a different address, some WndProc function calls still point to the old address. In this situation, an exception occurs because the old address is invalid. This exception causes the Fax Service to crash.
