FIX: Recovering Messages & Redefining Queues after Applying SP4 (197534)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q197534 SYMPTOMS
When you apply the Year 2000 update from the full download version of
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, Microsoft Message Queue Server may be
uninstalled from your computer. This results in the loss of all messages on
that computer in addition to the removal of the computer and its queues
from the Message Queue Information Store (MQIS) database. Reinstalling
Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) on the computer does not recover the
messages or redefine the queues previously associated with the computer.
Reinstalling MSMQ results in a new MSMQ Enterprise ID for the MSMQ Queue
Manager on that computer. Messages created on other computers and not yet
delivered may not be sent to this computer.
RESOLUTION
Recovery plans for MSMQ are inherently application specific because the
node lost could be at any tier in the distributed solution involving many
nodes and layered technologies. The administrator of that distributed
solution must implement the disaster recovery plan for that node in order
to return it to the correct state.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Y2ksetup.exe file
included with the full download version of the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack
4. This problem is corrected in a re-release of the full download version
of Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. For more information, please go to the following Web site:
