Confirm disk space and file permissions

Internally, the MSMQ Service tries to make a temporary copy of the queue file before changing the queue properties, or it tries to copy the new queue permissions file over the old permissions file. If creation of the temporary file fails, this might indicate insufficient disk space, permission problems, or file system errors. Make sure that the disk is not full and that the MSMQ Service can access the Message Queuing storage directory.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators , or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

  1. Open the Services console. To open Services, click Start . In the search box, type services.msc , and then press ENTER.
  2. In the details pane, locate Message Queuing .

  4. Confirm that the user under which the MSMQ Service is running under has permissions on the Message Queuing storage directory (%windir%\System32\msmq\storage).
