REG_DWORD	0 \| 1	0

Description

Indicates that Message Queuing does not have access to Active Directory.

Message Queuing is is designed to store and retrieve information from Active Directory. Message Queuing adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when the system does not have access to Active Directory. Programs can use this entry to optimize their functions by avoiding procedures that require Active Directory.

Value	Meaning
0	Message Queuing has access to Active Directory.
1	Message Queuing does not have access to Active Directory.

The system sets this value to 1 when Message Queuing is installed in one of the following configurations:

Message Queuing is installed on a computer that belongs to a workgroup.
Message Queuing is installed on a computer that belongs to a domain, but it does not have access to Active Directory. (The No access to DS option is specified in the setup instructions.)
Message Queuing is first installed on a computer in a workgroup, and then later, when the computer joins a Windows 2000 domain, but the Message Queuing service does not join the Message Queuing deployment in the domain.

Note Image Note

This entry appears in the registry only when Message Queuing does not have access to Active Directory (a value of 1) or, it has access now, but it did not have access in the past (a value of 0).

If Message Queuing gains access to Active Directory (such as when the computer joins a domain), Message Queuing detects the change and changes the value of this entry to 0. No manual changes are required.

Do not change the value of this entry. This entry merely records the current condition. You cannot use this entry to deny or provide access to a domain or to Active Directory. If you change the value of this entry, Message Queuing will not operate properly.
