This task is performed from the dependent client.
Message Queuing 3.0 dependent clients cannot be installed with a Windows NT Server 4.0 computer as a supporting server.
Any Message Queuing server operating in domain mode with at least independent client functionality, preferably in the local site, but also in a nearby site, can serve as the supporting server for a dependent client.
By default, following installation, Message Queuing servers are not enabled to support dependent clients. For instructions on enabling a Message Queuing server to act as a supporting server, see Enable a supporting server.
To enable a Message Queuing server to act as a supporting server for a dependent client, you must change the security configuration of the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) to support network transactions. For details, see Enable network DTC access.
If you have the early version of a dependent client running on Windows NT 4.0 and you want to change its supporting server to a Message Queuing server running on Windows 2000, the dependent client must first have Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or higher installed or transactional messaging will not function.
New Message Queuing 3.0 features, such as HTTP transport, Message Queuing Triggers, and sending messages to multiple destinations, are not available to dependent clients. Thus, distribution lists, multiple-element format names, and multicast messaging are not supported for dependent clients.
Dependent clients will no longer be supported in future versions of Message Queuing.
Information about functional differences
- 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.
