SYMPTOMS

The Message Queuing log file may contain either of the following error messages:

Error 1
OxC00e0075: Message Queuing servers cannot be found on domain controllers.
Error 2
OxC00e0075: Message Queuing was unable to join the local Windows 2000 domain.

CAUSE

Error 1 occurs if you install Message Queuing in Workgroup mode. Error 2 occurs if you install Message Queuing in Workgroup mode and then you add your computer to a domain. The errors occur because Message Queuing does not have to access Active Directory on a domain controller when Message Queuing is in Workgroup mode.

RESOLUTION

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Add an appropriate DWORD value to the registry. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
    2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
    3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\setup

    4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    5. In the right pane of Registry Editor, under Name, replace the selected text with AlwaysWithoutDS, and then press ENTER.
    6. On the Edit menu, click Modify. The Edit DWORD Value dialog box appears.
    7. In the Value data box, replace the existing text with 1, and then click OK.
    8. On the Registry menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.
  2. Restart the Message Queuing service. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
    2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. A command prompt window appears.
    3. At the command prompt, run the following command to stop the Message Queuing access control service:

      net stop mqac

      You receive a message that prompts you to stop the services that depend on the Message Queuing access control service. These services include the Message Queuing service.
