FIX: Cannot Create Private$ Queues Using MSMQ from Option Pack

• Microsoft Message Queue Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

After you perform a new installation of Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) from the Windows NT Server 4.0 Option Pack, you cannot create PRIVATE$ queues in a cluster.

CAUSE

After running Windows NT Server 4.0 Option Pack Setup on a cluster, the LastPrivateQueueId is not stored in the registry. When trying to create a PRIVATE$ queue, the Queue Manager fails to retrieve the data, and returns MQ_ERROR.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT version 4.0. For additional information about how to obtain the service pack, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Message Queue Server version 1.0.

This problem was corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: This fix only applies to a new installation of Windows NT Server 4.0 Option Pack on an MSMQ Routing Server or Independent Client on a cluster. It should not be used when the Windows NT Server 4.0 Option Pack is used to upgrade the version of MSMQ installed from Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition.
