MSMQ independent client software can be installed on computers running Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 or later, and Windows NT Server version 4.0 or later. MSMQ independent clients can create and modify queues locally, and can send and receive messages, just as MSMQ servers can. MSMQ independent clients can create queues and store messages on the local computer, without synchronous access to an MSMQ server. The primary differences between MSMQ independent clients and MSMQ servers are that independent clients do not have the intermediate store-and-forward capability of MSMQ servers, nor do they store information from the distributed MSMQ database.
In addition to the basic MSMQ files, you can install the MSMQ SDK on MSMQ independent clients.
You can also install the MSMQ Explorer on MSMQ independent clients running under Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server so that you can administer your MSMQ enterprise remotely from computers running Windows NT Workstation.

MSMQ clients (both independent and dependent) are limited to a maximum of ten concurrent sessions with other MSMQ clients. |
