MSMQ Permissions

[yofnik]

Hello,
I have an application that runs as a Windows Service. When the
application runs for the very first time, it creates a new MSMQ Queue.
Because the Queue was created under the SYSTEM account, now I cannot
modify, delete, or even view the contents of the queue from the MSMQ
Admin. What are my options to allow me to gain access to this queue?

Thanks

Check out the following link, it has basically the same problem as you are
experiencing.

The problem bascially is related to which account created the queue in the
windows service and the permissions and acess rights you granted to the
queue when it was created.

I understand what the problem is. The link you provided mentions how to
prevent it. My question is now that I am in this situation, how do I
correct it? Is my only option to create a new Windows Service to go in
an modify the queue's permissions?

you should impersonate an admin account or better yet, a speciall account
that has admin priviledges. Don't impersonate at the application level, just
impersonate on the calling thread or programatically because it is safer.
That should get your queue account created with the correct permissions set.
