Description:-: A messaging infrastructure and development tool for creating distributed messaging applications for Windows. Such applications can communicate across heterogeneous networks and can send messages between computers that may be temporarily unable to connect to each other. Message Queuing provides guaranteed message delivery, efficient routing, security, support for sending messages within transactions, and priority-based messaging. Message Queuing provides both Microsoft Win32 and COM APIs for all programmatic functionality including administration and management.

Description:-Provides Active Directory access for Message Queuing clients (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003) on domain controllers. .

If MSMQ is installed in workgroup mode, then Active Directory is never accessed.
If this service is stopped or disabled on a domain controller, then previous versions of MSMQ clients will not be able to obtain Active Directory services on that domain controller for public queue discoverability, message routing and site recognition..
