Binding IIS wcf services to multiple msmq on the same machine

Categories: IIS

The most common site bindings used is both net.msmq and msmq.formatname to localhost.

This will however make iis search through all the queues installed in Server/Features/Message Queuing/Private Queues

Best way to bind is to have the private queue named exactly as the .svc wcf service url and then binding to localhost/exactname. It is allowed to use wildchars. eg. net.msmq binds to localhost/logservice/logservice_int.*

For msmq activation read this article: msdn on MSMQ activation

If you need more of an introduction read this: Getting msmq, wcf and iis to work together

  • appcmd set app "Default Web Site/MsmqService" /enabledProtocols:net.msmq
