Notes

To open Active Directory Sites and Services, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites and Services.
A routing link defines the route for connectivity between two sites, and a site gate is a Message Queuing routing server or one of several such servers through which the message traffic between two sites is configured to pass. For more information on routing links, site gates, and how they are used to route messages, see Related Topics.
A site gate can belong to either or both of the sites connected by a routing link. A routing link can have any number of site gates or no site gate.
By default, only users in the Enterprise Admins group can create or modify routing links if there are multiple domains in your organization. For users in the Domain Admins group to be able to create or modify routing links, they will need to be granted the Create All Child Objects permission for the MsmqServices object. For information on how to set permissions for routing links, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
