BUG: QC Listener Requires Active Directory Access to Open Local Queues (305769)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft COM+ 1.0
  • Microsoft COM+ 1.5

This article was previously published under Q305769

SYMPTOMS

COM+ Queued Components (QCs) store a Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) path name in the ".\AppName" format to represent the main input queue. However, the path name is not converted to a format name if a Listener component is running on a computer that is disconnected from an Active Directory.

CAUSE

During initialization, the QC Listener uses the MSMQ MQPathNameToFormatName function to convert this path name into an MSMQ format name, which is necessary to open the queue. For public queues, MQPathNameToFormatName references the Active Directory to convert the path name to a format name. As a result, if the QC Listener is disconnected from an Active Directory, the path name is not converted to a format name because MQPathNameToFormatName cannot reference the Active Directory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
