I've used MSMQ on a Windows 2003 server before and noticed I could monitor the public and private queues.

Does anyone know if you can do this on Windows 2008 server? If so, how do I access it because I've search and can't find a way to monitor this. At least not from a GUI interface like before.

Has Message Queuing been installed on the machine?

  • Yes, it's installed already using Features > Message Queuing. –  May 12 '10 at 17:27
  • Yes it's been install already. I used the Features area to install it as well as made sure the service is running. I just want to know if it has an interface/GUI like windows 2003 does. In win2003 it's under Computer management > Services and Applications > Message Queuing –  May 12 '10 at 20:03

    Never mind I found it. I had to go to mmc > Add the computer management snap-in and it was under services and applications. –  May 12 '10 at 20:06

IMHO MSMQ is the MS tool with the worst support for end user as it is much more intended to be used programmatically. I used QueueExplorer for management:

Management can be also done using PowerShell (both interactive and script, but on command-line on course)
