Notes

To open Computer Management, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
When you take Message Queuing offline from the network, you pause the operation of all outgoing queues on the local computer. This is useful when you communicate over a slow, expensive connection and want to defer sending messages in all outgoing queues on the computer to a later time.
You can also pause the operation of a single outgoing queue. For more information, see Related Topics.
This task can be performed only by using the Computer Management snap-in.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
