PRB: The Foreign Connected Network Is Not Available When You Configure MQSeries Bridge (241270)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q241270 SYMPTOMS
When you configure the MSMQ - MQSeries Bridge, the foreign connected network may not be available.
CAUSE
Because Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) only supports the use of foreign connected networks and foreign computers on Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition, this problem occurs when you do not complete the Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition setup by installing Service Pack 3. If you skip the installation of Service Pack 3 and go directly to Service Pack 4 (or later), this problem occurs.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you must reinstall Windows NT Server Enterprise, and then install Service Pack 3 when you are prompted. The following is from the Readme.txt file included with Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition:
New Windows NT Server/E Installations
Installing a new copy of Windows NT Server/E is a two step process:
- First, install Windows NT Server/E in the same way that you install Windows NT Server.
- After you install Windows NT Server/E, install Service Pack 3. (A prompt reminds you to do this each time you log in, until you have done so.)
Both steps are required to have a functioning Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition system.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
