Remotely Manage Message Queuing

To remotely manage Message Queuing on a remote computer, the Remote Registry Service must be started on the remote computer. If it is not started, the Message Queuing node for the remote computer will not appear in Computer Management on the local computer.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, on the local and remote computer is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

Membership in <Domain>\Domain Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure using Active Directory Users and Computers.
