MSMQ Issue reading remote private queues (again)

Question

Ok my issue is similar to How to receive message from a private workgroup queue (and I am basically using the same code).

I am creating the queue on the host machine usi

Answer 1

OK .. I obviously didn't read all I needed to read. The answer was in:

MSMQ 4.0 - what's new in Computer Management?

I needed to add a new registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\Security\AllowNonauthenticatedRPC

and set the value to 1.

Once I did this on the W7 server, then I could read the queue from the XP machine.

Am I the only one who thinks this is weird that anyone could write to the queue, but I had to set this to read from the queue? That is so bizarre.
