FIX: A Message Queuing 3.0 application cannot open a public queue that was recently created

A Message Queuing 3.0 application cannot open a public queue that was recently created. This problem occurs if the user account and the computer account belong to the same domain, and there is more than one domain controller in the same site. You may receive any one of the following error messages:

Error message 1Error message 2 Error message 3

A queue can be created and can be opened against different domain controllers. Therefore, if the queue has not yet been replicated to the other domain controllers, the application cannot open a recently-created public queue on a domain controller.

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

This hotfix does not solve all scenarios. For example, the error may occur if the domain controller where the queue is created becomes unreachable immediately after the queue is created. The new queue is not available until the domain controller is reachable or until replication to the other domain controllers occurs.
