Remarks

Use this method to filter the public queues by computer.

GetPublicQueuesByMachine(String) retrieves a static snapshot of the queues. To interact with a dynamic list of the queues, use GetMessageQueueEnumerator. You can specify the computer name as part of the MessageQueueCriteria you pass into the method.

The following table shows whether this method is available in various Workgroup modes.

Workgroup mode	Available
Local computer	No
Local computer and direct format name	No
Remote computer	No
