Notes

To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
The format name typed can be any public, private, or direct single-element format name. The validity of the format name typed and the existence of the queues to which the queue alias points are not tested during this procedure. For examples of valid format names, see Queue Names in Related Topics.
Multiple aliases can be created for the same physical queue.
When you create a queue alias in Active Directory, you are prompted to specify the minimal information needed to establish the object in Active Directory. Each queue alias has many more properties (attributes) that can be set. After a queue alias is created, the values of many additional attributes can be viewed and modified. For information on how to do this, see Related Topics.
A queue alias can be used to point to a private queue and publish a private queue. For best security practice, create a queue alias with the narrowest security permissions possible.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
