Clearing up MSMQ certificates from Active Directory

Some people have found a problem where Active Directory contains too many MSMQ certificates for a particular user account, usually if that's the one they use for installing all their MSMQ machines. As you know, MSMQ uses certificates for authentication

Sending encrypted MSMQ messages

MSMQ has moved out of private corporate LANs and now companies send messages over the Internet. Data security should therefore be top of the to-do list for anyone wanting to follow this route. The first consideration is what do you actually need to encrypt?

Getting MSMQ messages out of Windows Server 2008 remotely

I'm now into full swing looking at MSMQ 4.0 on Windows Server 2008 using Virtual Server. I haven't got round to installing 2008 on my 64-bit laptop and desktop yet but maybe in the summer sometime when customers are on vacation I'll have the time. Sending

Cross-forest MSMQ? You need to be trusting

Let's assume you want to use a classic "resource domain/account domain" setup where: DomainA in Forest1 (the resource domain) contains the MSMQ servers DomainB in Forest2 (the account domain) contains the service account for the MSMQ application There

No default security when WCF uses MSMQ in workgroup mode

One thing to note when using WCF and MSMQ in workgroup mode is that there is no SID sent in a security header: 952570 A Message Queuing message does not include the security header when you use WCF to send the message in Workgroup mode This isn't much

MSMQ 4.0 runs with the Network Service account instead of Local System

The changes in security between Windows XP and Windows Vista have thrown up one or two problems for MSMQ. Take this one: You cannot send or receive encrypted Message Queuing messages after you upgrade a computer from Windows XP to Windows Vista The move

Clear the way - MSMQ coming through

[[Edited Ping information - 20th May 2008]] A reasonably common question is "what ports does MSMQ use?" Usually the infrastructure guys have their routers locked down tight and want to open up only the bare minimum to let your new MSMQ application through.

MSMQ messages using HTTP just won't get delivered #11

Security. You've got to love it. Spent a little while trying to work out why my test messages weren't going over HTTP to a Windows Vista destination before I realised what was wrong. The IIS service may have been running but, of course, the Windows Firewall

"How do I send MSMQ messages between domains?"

Nine times out of ten this will not be the correct question. Whoever is asking REALLY means "How do I send MSMQ messages between forests?" MSMQ will happily send messages between domains in the same forest. All you need is a Global Catalogue (GC) in every

MSMQ needs the secure channel to be open.

There's a new KB article and hotfix that you may have missed as it is not an MSMQ bug. 936455 Error message when a domain-joined Windows XP Professional client computer establishes a security channel to a domain controller server computer that is then

MSMQ 3.0 too secure for you?

With lots of customers developing systems that use MSMQ across WANs, I find that I get a number of calls on problems getting messages through. Usually sending messages works a treat but pulling them back again doesn't. The main reason for this is the
