0x000006ba error if you open an existing queue on a Virtual Server (305794)

WORKAROUND

1. Create a custom resource DLL in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0.
2. Add the following code to the do...while() loop in the xxxOnlineThread() call (error detection is removed from the code sample):

   RESOURCE_STATUS      resourceStatus;
   DWORD                nStatus;
   STARTUPINFO         StartupInfo;
   PROCESS_INFORMATION Process;
   LPWSTR              pszNameOfPropInError;
   LPWSTR              pszExpandedDir = NULL;
   LPWSTR              pszExpandedCommand = NULL;
   
   // Create Process parameters
   LPVOID   Environment = NULL;
   HANDLE processToken;
   HANDLE currentProcess;
   HANDLE hEventLog;
   DWORD nStatus = ResUtilGetPropertiesToParameterBlock(
                  pResourceEntry->hkeyParameters,
                  GenAppResourcePrivateProperties,
                  reinterpret_cast<LPBYTE>( &pResourceEntry->props ),
                  TRUE, // CheckForRequiredProperties
                  &pszNameOfPropInError
                  );
   // Perform resource-specific initialization before starting the app.
   if ( pResourceEntry->props.nUseNetworkName ) {
   // Create the new environment with the simulated net name.
   
   LPVOID   Environment = NULL;
   Environment = ResUtilGetEnvironmentWithNetName(pResourceEntry->hResource);
   } 
   else {
   
   // get the current process token. If it fails, revert to using just the
   // system environment area
   currentProcess = GetCurrentProcess();
   OpenProcessToken(currentProcess, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED, &processToken);
   // Clone the current environment, picking up any changes that might have
   // been made after resmon started
   CreateEnvironmentBlock(&Environment, processToken, FALSE);
   // Expand the current directory parameter
   if (pResourceEntry->props.pszCurrentDirectory) {
   pszExpandedDir = xxxExpandEnvironmentStrings(pResourceEntry->props.pszCurrentDirectory);
   } 
   // Try to start the new process
   				CreateProcess(<Enter Executable Name Here>,
    NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE,
   				CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT,
    Environment, pszExpandedDir, &StartupInfo,
   				&Process);

• The code sets up the environment block with the UseNetnameAsComputerName property (ResUtilGetEnvironmentWithNetName(...)).
• The code saves this information to the environment block for the process (CreateEnvironmentBlock(...)).
• The code creates a new process that runs in the context of the virtual server (CreateProcess(...)).
