SUMMARY
Message Queuing (MSMQ) functionality may not work after a MSMQ computer is renamed. MSMQ switches to workgroup mode after the computer with MSMQ installed is removed from the domain, renamed, and then made to rejoin the domain. You cannot rejoin the domain after you rename your computer.



MORE INFORMATION
MSMQ tries to create the msmqConfiguration object with the globally unique identifier (GUID) in question. However, msmqConfiguration is already using this GUID under the old computer object. If you are going to rename your computer, uninstall MSMQ from your computer before you rename your computer. Then, reinstall MSMQ.
