You can improve messaging performance by storing message files, message log files, and transaction log files on three separate disks. If you have only two disks, put the message files on one disk and put the message log files and transaction log files on the other disk.


Provides a space for you to type the full path to the folder in which you want to store message files.


Provides a space for you to type the full path to the folder in which you want to store message log files.


Provides a space for you to type the full path to the folder in which you want to store transaction log files.


Creates an internal user certificate on this computer (if one does not already exist) and registers the certificate in Active Directory.


Displays a list of all internal and external registered user certificates for this computer.


Removes the selected registered user certificates from this computer and from Active Directory.

If a registered certificate on this computer is removed using another computer, the certificate is removed from Active Directory but will still exist on this computer.


Specifies the certification authority (CA) this computer will use for secured communication with a server. You must first select the adjacent check box to enable this button.


Specifies whether this computer communicates with MSMQ controller servers running Windows NT 4.0.

This computer can authenticate queries to MSMQ controller servers by using a server certificate to verify that query results are not tampered with and that results are returned by the correct server.


Renews your internal user certificate.

Internal user certificates, installed with Message Queuing, verify your identity using your security identifier (SID). You must renew your internal certificate if the certificate is corrupted. You also must renew your internal certificate if the private key (which is used with the public key stored in the certificate) is corrupted or compromised.


Renews your cryptographic keys.

It is a good idea to renew the cryptographic keys on this computer periodically, such as once a year. You should also renew your cryptographic keys any time you suspect they have been compromised. This will reduce the chance that your private key has been tampered with.

When you renew the cryptographic keys for this computer, any messages that were encrypted with the previous public keys cannot be read. This occurs only until the new public keys are replicated in Active Directory to all Message Queuing servers and this computer starts using the new public keys.


Lists the available sites to which this computer can move and reconnect.


Displays the site this computer is currently connected to.


Provides a space for you to type the DNS or NetBIOS name of the Message Queuing server to which this computer will connect.


Renews your internal user certificate.

Internal user certificates, installed with Message Queuing, verify your identity using your security identifier (SID). You must renew your internal certificate if the certificate is corrupted. You also must renew your internal certificate if the private key (which is used with the public key stored in the certificate) is corrupted or compromised.


Displays information about transferring Message Queuing messages from one site to another.


Lists the available server certificates you can use to authenticate queries to MSMQ controller servers. This computer verifies that query results have not been tampered with, and that the results are returned by the correct server.
