NetBEUI Object

The MSMQ Queue performance object monitors message statistics for a selected queue. There are instances for each queue on the computer. In addition, if an Message Queuing–based application has a private queue open on another computer, an instance for that queue is also available. The computer queues instance represents the computer's source journal and dead letter queues.
