Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To test connectivity using MQPing

  1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. On the View menu, click Users, Groups, and Computers as containers, and then click Advanced Features.

  3. In the console tree, right-click msmq.

    Where?

    • Active Directory Users and Computers/YourDomain/YourOrganizationalUnit (such as Computers or Domain Controllers)/*YourCompute/*msmq
  4. Click Send MQPing message.

Notes

  • To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.

  • You can also send an MQPing message as follows: right-click msmq, click Properties, click the Diagnostics tab, and then click MQPing.

  • When you send an MQPing message to a computer, Message Queuing waits 45 seconds to receive a response from the computer being tested. A message appears, notifying you whether MQPing succeeded or failed. You may need to send several MQPing messages to determine whether or not a computer is connected.

  • You can also send an MQPing message from the Computer Management snap-in. To do this, open Computer Management, click Services and Applications, right-click Message Queuing, and then click Properties. On the Diagnostics tab, click MQPing.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
