I am not able to connect to private MSMQ on remote machine.

I have tried many ways like..

  1. MessageQueue rmQ = new MessageQueue("FormatName:Direct=OS:<hostname>\\private$\\<queuename>");

  2. MessageQueue rmQ = new MessageQueue("FormatName:Direct=TCP:<hostIp>\\private$\\<queuename>");

  3. Also set allowed full control on the queue for everyone and anonynmouse users.

  4. Disable firewall.

  5. Allowed Nonauthenticated Rpc on both machines.

But not luck. I am getting error Access to Message Queuing system is denied. I have also observed that assigned "rmQ" object has MessageQueueException for all of the properties.

Any help on connecting remote MSMQ will be appreciated.

  1. Make sure you have MSMQ 5.0 installed on the machine you are sending the message from.

As you get "Access Denied", you must be trying a remote receive over RPC.
