Active Directory Requirements for Groups Used in FaxMaker Licensed Users

Overview

This article provides information on the types of user groups that can be configured in FaxMaker for licensed users working in conjunction with Microsoft Active Directory (AD).

Notes: 

• FaxMaker, when used with Microsoft Active Directory, only supports the detection of users in AD Security Groups.
• AD Distribution Groups are not supported and were never supported. Although previous builds have allowed this functionality, it is considered an unintended functionality and not a feature of the product. This would also include AD Distribution Groups nested inside AD Security Groups.

Process

• Convert the current AD Distribution Groups to AD Security Groups.
  • This should be done by the Active Directory administrator in your IT group.
• Additionally, you can submit a feature request via the GFI Feedback Forum for consideration.
