Question : SBS 2008 Console crashes on Network Devices

Hi,

Whenever I go to the Network/Devices tab in SBS 2008 console, it crashes with the following error:

"Windows SBS 2008 console has stopped working."

The console log file shows the following error:
---------------------------------------
An exception of type 'Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' has occurred.

[2568] 100518.082719.2018: Admin: !!!!FATAL: Console shutting down due to unhandled exception: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

This error started occurring after I uninstalled and then re-installed the Fax Server.

I have already tried the Microsoft TechNet, "Repair the Windows SBS 2008 Console".  Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Instal hotfix  973640  if not done already
Uninstall the modem from control panel and then reinstall.
then run fax config wizard in SBS console

IF failed at any point post back - FaxCW.log and SBS console log0:06
send above post to expert-exchange
