Why does MSMQ think I'm on a workgroup computer?

Question

My computer is connected to a domain, but when I go to create a public queue:

MessageQueue.Create(@\".\\testqueue\");

I get this error:

Answer 1

I was facing the same problem, take a look at solution below. I don't know the reason but creating queue in this manner works perfectly.

private MessageQueue messageQueue;
public const string DEFAULT_QUEUE_NAME = "newQueue";
public const string QUEUENAME_PREFIX = ".\\Private$\\";

public static string QueueName
{
    get
    {
        string result = string.Format("{0}{1}", QUEUENAME_PREFIX, DEFAULT_QUEUE_NAME);
        return result;
    }
}

public void SendMessage()
{
    string queuePath = QueueName;
    MessageQueue  messageQueue = MessageQueue.Create(queuePath);
    messageQueue.Send("msg");            
}

you can create queue for receiving message in the same manner.
