What are the default MSMQ private queue permissions on Windows 2008 Server

Question

I have installed MSMQ on a publicly hosted standalone Windows 2008 Server (workgroup), already running IIS 7.0 and a number of .NET websites.

I've created a private transactional queue named 'Requests' as per the screen shot below.

Without changing any permissions or settings, is this private queue available remotely ? How can I verify who can and can't read/send messages to this queue.

Are there any tools or scripts I can run using PowerShell that are available to attempt to connect to a remote private queue ?

Answer 1

Private queues are queues that are not published in Active Directory and are displayed only on the local computer that contains them.

This means you won't be able to use powershell to acess a remote private queue - you will have to make that queue public.

Then see this page for details on accessing the queue: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh405007(v=vs.85).aspx
