1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions

The Message Queuing (MSMQ): Queue Manager Management Protocol is an RPC interface and, as a result, has the prerequisites specified in [MS-RPCE] as being common to RPC interfaces.

This protocol does not include any means for a client to discover the name of a remote computer that supports MSMQ. This protocol also does not include a means to discover the port number that a specific MSMQ server uses. It is assumed that the client has obtained the relevant name and port number through another means, implying:

  • MSMQ clients know the names of one or more remote computers that support MSMQ.

  • MSMQ clients and servers know the port number that is being used by the MSMQ site.
