Event ID 2168 — Message Queuing Clustering
Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Clustering makes it possible for Message Queuing to operate as one instance across multiple operating systems so that Message Queuing can fail-over from one computer to another and provide high availability.
Event Details
| Product: | Windows Operating System |
| ID: | 2168 |
| Source: | MSMQ |
| Version: | 6.0 |
| Symbolic Name: | EVENT_ERROR_QM_NOT_CLUSTER_AWARE |
| Message: | <p>The Message Queuing service resource cannot bind to the cluster IP address. Error %1: %2</p> |
Resolve
Restart the MSMQ Service
The MSMQ Service on the physical node must be cluster aware. If the service is not cluster aware, this prevents the Message Queuing resource from coming online on this node.
This problem can occur if the MSMQ Service running on the physical node was started before the computer became a member of the server cluster. As a result, the MSMQ Service running on the physical node listens on all IP addresses of the computer and prevents the Message Queuing resource from listening on the cluster IP address.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
Restart the MSMQ Service
To restart the MSMQ Service:
- Open the Services snap-in. To open Services, click Start. In the search box, type services.msc, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click the Message Queuing service, and then click Restart. You must restart all the dependent services, as well.
Verify
You can use Failover Cluster Management to determine whether the Message Queuing cluster resource is online, or you can use the Cluster.exe tool to determine whether Windows Failover Clustering is installed and running.
