INTRODUCTION
This article describes the requirements, the limitations, the benefits, and the drawbacks of Workgroup mode and of Domain mode in Microsoft Message Queuing.



MORE INFORMATION
When Message Queuing works in Domain mode, Message Queuing connects to the Active Directory directory service. Therefore, Message Queuing must be installed on a domain controller. Message Queuing 1.0 works only in Domain mode.

Message Queuing 2.0 and later versions work in Workgroup mode. In Workgroup mode, Message Queuing is not connected to the Active Directory directory service and is not installed on a domain controller.
