 * the operating system: Microsoft Windows XP

This article was previously published under Q305808



SYMPTOMS
After you change domains on a Windows XP Professional computer, you may receive the following error message when you use Computer Management to display public queues:

Not all public queues can be displayed. Only public queues cached locally can be displayed. Error: The Object was not found in Active Directory.



CAUSE
When Message Queuing queries for public queues, the Message Queuing queue manager only queries the domain of the current computer and not the Global Catalog server for the list of public queues. When you move a computer from one domain to another, the Message Queuing object remains in the old domain, and the new domain controller does not find the object.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, remove and then reinstall Message Queuing.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To work around this problem, use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to manage queues on the computer. Active Directory Users and Computers does not use the same infrastructure as the snap-in for computer management that allows the management of Message Queuing objects.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Note that both domains in this example are in the same forest. Domain X is a child domain of Y.
 * 1) Install MSMQ on a computer in domain X.
 * 2) Change the domain membership of the computer to domain Y, and then restart the computer.
 * 3) Open the Computer Management utility on the local computer.
 * 4) Select the Msmq\public queue folder.
