APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Message Queuing 2.0

SYMPTOMS
When there is a time difference that is greater than 45 seconds between the clock of the domain controller that is running as the Message Queue Information Store (MQIS) and the clock of the client that is sending the messages, you may receive the following error message. This problem occurs when you try to send messages.

0xc00e0014 MQ_ERROR_ILLEGAL_QUEUE_PATHNAME



CAUSE
The Kerberos authentication technique fails because of the clock drift between the Message Queuing client and its domain controller. Any clock drift that is greater than 45 seconds causes authentication to fail. Authentication is required so that the domain controller can resolve the path for the client.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, synchronize the clock of the client that is sending the messages and the clock of the domain controller.



MORE INFORMATION
The Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol provides a mechanism for authentication and for mutual authentication for the following:
 * Between a client and a server
 * Between one server and another server

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 implements extensions for the protocol that permit initial authentication by using public key certificates on smart cards. The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) uses the Active Directory directory service database of the domain as its security account database. Active Directory is required for default NT LAN Manager (NTLM) and Kerberos implementations.
