Message Queuing Downlevel Client Support won't work with MSMQ error code 0xC00E1001

To test out a problem for a customer, I had to add a Windows 2000 server and MSMQ 2.0 to one of my domains. The installation of the Active Directory Integration portion failed as it could not contact the domain controller. The DC was definitely running

Troubleshooting MSMQ over HTTP - nothing in the web server log files?

If you are scratching your head because the files in the %windir%\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 directory have no entries for the incoming MSMQ messages then you need to tick two boxes: Open up Computer Management Navigate to: Services and Applications Internet

"Insufficient Resources" update for troubleshooting MSMQ on Windows 2000 machines

Back in September 2006 , I posted some copious instructions for troubleshooting " Insufficient Resources " problems. One thing I discovered this week is that the steps for measuring kernel memory will not work on Windows 2000. If you try to use WinDbg

Today's favourite command line (#3 in a series)

Sometimes you are slaving away trying to work out why you're getting Access Denied and then you realise that it's probably all the fault of Mordac, the preventor of information services , deploying a new security policy he's devised. So today's command

10 connection limit for MSMQ clients

Now I have a new super PC to play with, I can try out testing that wasn't practical on my old test machine. For example, seeing what really happens when you have more than ten client machines trying to access a queue on a remote workstation machine. This

Why is ICMP lumped with File and Print Sharing?

I have some testing to do so I bring a pair of my trusty virtual machines on line. I've messed about with them a lot recently, such as pointing them at Windows Update for a few hours to receive a firehose of services packs and hotfixes, so the IP addresses

Virtual PC doesn't seem to like huge shared folders

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 and setup claimed that: "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installation has failed. SQL Server 2008 Setup requires .NET Framework to be installed." which was strange as Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 service pack 1 was in

Out of Memory (0x8007000e) installing service pack 2 for Windows Server 2008

Initially applying the service pack on my VirtualPC machines complained about lack of disk space and I messed about for ages to free up a few vital GBs. Then the update changed its tune and reported Out of Memory (0x8007000e) without elaborating any further

"Windows cannot locate the Disk Cleanup program."

Always problems... I'm trying to free up space in my Virtual PC machines so I can apply service pack 2 for Windows Server 2008. First place to go is Disk Cleanup - usually good for a few GB. Strangly, my upgraded machines report that I no longer have

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file..."

Having compressed my virtual disks, I've moved on to upgrading the guest operating systems on my three virtual machines from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008. Seems simple enough - set up a shared folder to the source files on the host machine and run SETUP.EXE....

MSMQ Management Pack: Subscript Out of Range

A post today on [ Teknoglot ] reports that the MSMQ Management Pack may return "Subscript Out of Range" when trying to discover public queues on servers that don't have any. I'll see if I can repro this and raise a bug with the product group.

Having problems with MSMQ not sending or listening for Multicast messages?

We've just found a problem with Multicasting on POSReady 2009 which I thought I would share. POSReady is an embedded implementation of Windows XP service pack 3 but the setup of components like MSMQ is different so this blog post may not necessarily be
