MSMQ Export /Migration Utility
–msmqexport 2.0 – I have updated the link after lot of people complained that the last link wasn’t accessible.
I developed this utility to migrate all the MSMQs from one server to another. I have used MSMQ and “Trigger Service” COM objects to create message queues/triggers/rules.
According to my discussion with MS support guy, he wasn’t aware of any way to create triggers and rules programatically. So, if you are looking to do this, this will prove to be a great tool.
Possible uses :
1. Migrate all queues/triggers/rules from one server to another.
2. Use as a backup /restore tool.
3. use it to recreate production environment on a test server.
4. Use it to migrate servers.
Email me if you have any questions or want changes/modifications to the tool ashuREMOVETHIS.pant@gmail.com

Does this work for private queues? I have admin rights on both the machine and the queues but nothing shows up in the listbox on the right after “GetQueues”.
Thanks for bringing that up. But the tool only works for public queues as of now. I will have to change it a little bit for private queues. Will update the utility once I find time to make that change.
Please let us know when you have a version for private queues, thanks.
On Popular demand, I have changed the utility and now it will allow you to handle Private Queues as well.
Ver 1.0 of this tool is still available for download.
Hello,
Thanks for the utlity. When I run it it displays all the queues. But when I try to export it it throws following exception.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Please advise.

Anil,
Looks like an I/O permission issue. It is throwing an exception on the export button click. Are you sure you have permissions on the folder where you are running it from. eg. if u copied it on a network folder and run it from there, maybe it is failing while trying to create the file
Where does it create the file?
it just does not work
Yes, I get exactly the same error, I’m able to see the queues but can’t export them.
Did you find a way to export queues?
I created my own tool using .net after waiting for this guy to reply.If you still need a tool i will be able to email it to you if you want.

Vamsi,
It’s been 1.5 years since you posted this, but if you have this tool still available I could REALLY use your assistance. Thanks!
Program has errors on Windows 7 (export file dialog doesn’t show up and cannot “get queues” unless “only private Qs” is selected.
I havent figure this out yet. It happens on all machines. I think you will have to use CASPOL to give it access to your machine. By default .net security is not giving it access to read the file system that is why it blows up.
