The server side of this protocol is applicable for implementation by a queue manager providing Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) communication services to clients. The client side of this protocol is applicable for implementation by client libraries providing message queue managers to applications by directory service or by a queue manager delegating requests on behalf of a client.<1> This protocol is applicable to scenarios where a queue manager that is the owner of public queue objects or a machine object needs to be notified when these objects are changed in a directory service or on another queue manager on behalf of a client.<2> This protocol is not applicable to objects that are not stored in a directory service, such as private queues. This protocol is not applicable for distributed applications that require notification messages within a predefined amount of time. Notification messages are sent and, once received, the destination queue manager schedules act on them at specific time intervals.<3>
