SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Message Queuing Triggers distribution installs on a server cluster node without any error messages; however, when you attempt to start the Message Queuing Triggers on the cluster, an error message similar to the following may appear in the Application event log:

MSMQ Trigger Service has failed whilst validating the required registry entries and queues. The error message was (Failed to create the queue BBQBOY\PRIVATE$\MSMQTriggerNotifications. The HRESULT from MSMQ was (C00E0014)). The HRESULT was (8004005)."



CAUSE
The Message Queuing Triggers package is not cluster aware and does not work properly on a cluster. The following excerpt is taken from the Message Queuing Triggers installation documentation:

MSMQ Triggers cannot be installed on Windows 95, on Windows 98, on dependent client computers, or on server cluster nodes.



RESOLUTION
Do no install the Message Queuing Triggers package on a cluster.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Install the Message Queuing Triggers package on a node of a cluster.
 * 2) Attempt to start the Triggers Service.
