Can a private MSMQ queue be renamed?

Question

Can you rename an existing private MSMQ queue on Windows Server 2003?

I was going to suggest editing the text file in the msmq\storage\lqs directory that contains the configuration for the private file. After testing it, though, I found it didn't work. — John Breakwell, Feb 04 '11 at 01:23

I don't think you can, but you can always deleted and create a new private queue by the name you desire can you not?

Absolutely, I was just asking for the sake of a customer. Renaming would mean you wouldn't have to reconfigure permissions and such. – Dan Appleyard Feb 04 '11 at 16:01
