Notes

To open Computer Management, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
You can also perform this task using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For more information, see Related Topics.
You cannot create queues in the Outgoing Queues or System Queues folder. These queues are created automatically.
The queue objects for the queues residing on a particular computer are child objects of the msmq object of the applicable computer. Thus, to create a queue, a user must have the Create All Child Objects permission for the msmq object under which the queue will be created.
You can create public queues on remote computers using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in provided you have domain administrative permissions and are logged on using a domain user account.
When you create a queue, you are prompted to specify the minimal information needed. Each queue has many more properties (attributes) that can be set. After a queue is created, the values of many additional attributes can be viewed and modified. For information on how to do this, see Related Topics.
When you create a queue, the default permission is that everyone can send to this queue. For tighter security, you can change the default security permissions for the queue. You can also specify properties for the queue when you create it. For example, you can specify to accept authenticated messages only. For instructions, see Allow only authenticated messages on queues.

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.
