MSMQ service slow to start after disabling all registry-based performance counters on the system
Bilou
SP2
http://webtoolsandtips.com/make-windows-run-faster/make-windows-run-fast-disable-performance-counters/
After rebooting, network connection need about 1mn to obtain a new
DHCP lease after winlogon.
After checking Event Log, i've noticed errors about MSMQ.
I have set MSMQ service and MSMQTriggers service to startup type:
Manual.
Now logon to Windows is faster and i get an IP from my router in a few
sec.
I have rebuilt a new QMLog file using tip described in:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/C/9/FC9989A2-DA75-4D96-B654-4BD29CF6AEE1/MSMQ_faq_updated.doc
The logger files cannot be initialized. The file QMLog in the Msmq
\Storage folder is corrupted or absent. To start the Message Queuing
service without loosing consistency, you must correct or recover this
file (e.g. from a backup). To start the service for emergency use
(with a potential loss of data consistency), delete the files QMLog,
MQTrans.lg1, MQTrans.lg2, MQInSeqs.lg1, and MQInSeqs.lg2 from the Msmq
\Storage folder and add the DWORD registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft
\MSMQ\Parameters\LogDataCreated with a value of 0.
I haven't deleted *.lg?
Computer is workgroup, not a member of AD. although Netlogon service
is enabled (due to installation of a 2nd GINA for SmartCard logon)
Q: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters" /v Workgroup
A: Workgroup REG_DWORD 0x1

How to solve errors and don't have MSMQ service stalling about 30 sec
before starting.
John Breakwell
That's a bizarre problem. I can't suggest any reason for MSMQ startup to
delay getting an IP address from DHCP.
Why is the machine only on SP2 and not SP3? Any problems you've encountered
with SP3?
"I have disabled all performance counters on Windows XP Professional /w SP2"
I can't imagine this makes much difference to machine speed.
Did you notice any improvement?
"After checking Event Log, I've noticed errors about MSMQ."
What errors were these? Were they different from the ones featured in the
TMQ log you posted?
"I have rebuilt a new QMLog file... "
Why did you do this? Was there an event in the event log saying the file was
corrupt?
Follow the instructions in the FAQ if you want the log files recreated.
"Mon Jun 01 15:04:31 2009 Error 2124 from MSMQ
Message Queuing was unable to join the local Windows 2000 or Windows
Whistler domain 'Workgroup'. (Error: 0x8007054b)."
Strange to see reference to "Whistler" in the event description.
You can avoid this event by settting AlwaysWithoutDS=1 as documented here:
839929 You may receive error message entries in log files after you
install Message Queuing in Workgroup mode
