"Unable to Establish a Connection with Active Directory" error message when you use the Message Queuing snap-in to browse messages in a public queue (330480)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Message Queuing 2.0
This article was previously published under Q330480 SYMPTOMS When you use the Microsoft Message Queuing MMC
snap-in to browse messages in a public queue after you successfully install
Message Queuing, you may receive the following error message:
Cannot read messages. Error: Unable to establish a connection with Active
Directory. Verify there are sufficient permissions to perform this operation.
You cannot reinstall Message Queuing, because Message Queuing setup cannot locate the Message Queuing
servers on the network. CAUSE This issue occurs if User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 1801
is closed on the firewall after you install Message Queuing. UDP port 1801 is used for
server discovery during Setup, and it is also used to discover new servers when
previously known Message Queuing servers cannot be contacted. The client computer cannot
discover a Message Queuing server that is across a firewall if UDP port 1801 is
closed.
NOTE: You cannot reinstall Message Queuing, because MSMQ Setup cannot locate the
Message Queuing servers on the network.RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, open UDP port 1801. STATUSThis
behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATION To detect server discovery failure that occurs after UDP
port 1801 is closed, analyze a network trace. If Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) Destination Unreachable packets occur in the trace with a Port
Unreachable return code, either the port is not open on the firewall or the
server is filtering out TCP/IP traffic on port 1801.
Setup typically
fails if the server discovery process fails. Therefore, you cannot browse the
public queue.
