Install and Configure Message Queuing for Monitoring Server
Topic Last Modified: 2009-01-23
Monitoring Server uses Message Queuing to ensure reliability when processing data. Before you install Monitoring Server, you must install and configure Message Queuing on the server that will run Monitoring Server.
Installation Prerequisites
- Because Message Queuing for Monitoring Server relies on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for encryption to the destination queue, you must install Message Queuing with its Active Directory Integration option. This option is installed by default when you install Message Queuing.
- You must set the privacy level to either Body or Optional. The default setting is Optional.
