To change the privacy level for queues

  1. Open Computer Management.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the applicable queue.

    Where?

    • Computer Management/Services and Applications/Message Queuing/YourQueueFolder (such as Public Queues or Private Queues)/YourQueue
  3. Click Properties.

  4. On the General page, in Privacy Level, do one of the following:

    • To have the queue accept both encrypted and unencrypted messages, click Optional (the default).

    • To have the queue accept only encrypted messages, click Body.

    • To have the queue accept only unencrypted messages, click None.

Notes

  • To open Computer Management, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.

  • You can also perform this task using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For more information, see Related Topics.

  • Privacy levels are used to specify whether a queue accepts encrypted messages, unencrypted messages, or both by selecting the privacy level for the queue. If the queue privacy level is set to None, the queue accepts only unencrypted messages. If the queue privacy level is set to Body, the queue accepts only encrypted messages. If the queue privacy level is set to Optional, the queue accepts both unencrypted and encrypted messages. You can check whether a message sent to the queue was encrypted or unencrypted by using Active Directory Users and Computers (or programmatically by checking the PROPID_M_PRIV_LEVEL message property).

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.
