MSMQ - Cannot see public queues

2
votes

I'm new to MSMQ. I started in a Win 2008 domain controller VM, installed all features under Message Queuing category.

In Computer Management, Services and Applicatoins, Message Queing, I do see Outgoing, Private and System queues, but cannot see Public queues.

Why is that? Again, is a domain controller VM, so AD is installed, up & running.

If I go through Visual Studio's Server Explorer, I do see Public queues, but when I click refresh, I get "A workgroup installation computer does not support the operation." But I clearly see that the machine is joined to a domain - it's actually the DC!

Ideas appreciated, thanks in advance!

UPDATE: it was because of permissions were not propertly assigned during MSMQ feature setup,

This may be because MSMQ is using the workgroup instead of AD.

To fix this, open RegEdit and go to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters

and change the Workgroup field from 1 to 0
