Message Queuing does not come online after an unexpected power failure (810383)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Windows XP, the Microsoft Message Queuing service does not come online if corrupted message files exist in the Message Queuing storage directory. An event log message is raised that identifies the corrupted file. You must manually remove the corrupted file before the service can start successfully.

CAUSE

When Message Queuing deletes a recoverable message, it does not verify that the delete flag is persistent before returning the receive call. Therefore, these messages may not return after a power failure, or the message file may become corrupted.
