I've the same problem. Windows server 2022 standard, Fax-Server installed and when ich want to connect the client i got the error 0x00000006. Are there any solutions or workarounds? Many thanks for any Tipp
0x00000006 error on adding server 2022 fax server
I have a windows server 2022 standard (ver:10.0.20348.1194) with fax server role configured and fax printer shared too
in "windows fax and scan" program on clients (windows 7sp1 and 10) > tools menu>fax account>add>connect to fax server...>
when i type \servername >next>done it finished unsuccessfully without error (account list remain empty!!)
when i want to add shared fax server printer in client, add printer windows displayed:
windows cannot connect to the printer ,operation failed error 0x00000006.
i searched for this error on internet and try this solutions without any success:
- Delete "Client Side Rendering Print Providers" key from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers
- remove Microsoft shared fax driver form Print Management
- sfc /scannow
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
i think the problem is in "windows server 2022 shared fax driver"
please help me solve this problem
best regards.

anyways, adding shared faxes on windows 11 and other windows server 2022 works anything less fails.

2023-06-30T10:03:13.7266667+00:00 I have the same problem with a 2022 server and multiple older but up to date Win 10 clients.
The one and only brand new Win 11 client has no problems to connect.

2023-09-13T15:06:18.75+00:00 I have exactly the same problem: Windows 10 clients do not work with Windows 2022 FAX server.
Error 6 appears. Windows 11 has no problem with it.
Is there a solution for Windows 10 clients?
