How to perform MSMQ Trace

Question

I'm looking for a way to trace MSMQ activity (API calls, or something similar)

I saw several references mentioning ETW tracing but they weren't very clear or complete.

Is there a simple tutorial about this subject?

Answer 1

There is a utility to do this. Unfortunately, the output is encrypted and the only way to read it is by sending it to MS.

If you have a MS support contract, I'd call them.

That blog has some great MSMQ troubleshooting tips that might also help.
