I'm trying to adjust Message Queuing properties (specifically, message storage limits) via Computer Management on my machine. It fails with the following message: The properties of cannot be set. I am logged in with an account that is part of the local Administrators group. I can perform all other administrative tasks I have tried. What could be preventing me from changing these settings? Platform: Windows Vista Business SP2 (x64) | |||

Putting this here for posterity ;) Background: For as long as I’ve been using Windows 2008 R2, I have not been able to change the Message Queuing configuration settings (such as storage limits, storage locations, security, etc.) or access the System Queues (Journal messages, Dead-letter messages, Transactional dead-letter messages); all attempts at doing any of these things resulted in a cryptic “Access is denied” error. Whenever I needed to install Message Queuing on a server in our environment, I used Server Manager to install the Message Queuing Feature. Solution(?): On a whim, rather than install the Message Queuing Feature, I instead choose to add the “Application Server” Role. Adding this role automatically selected and installed the Message Queuing Feature, though it only enabled the Message Queuing Server, not Directory Service Integration and Message Queuing Triggers. I am now able to re-configure Message Queuing settings, as well as access and perform actions on the system queues. | |||||

So what are the security settings for Message Queuing on your machine? If the settings are open enough then it maybe a User Access Control issue where Computer Management is not being raised to administrator level even though you are logged in as a local admin. Cheers John Breakwell | |||
