There is a public queue named queue1 on machine A. I want to send messages to this queue from machine B. In order to achieve this, I wrote that c# code. 

if (MessageQueue.Exists("machineA\queue1"))
{
    label1.Text = "queue found";
}
else
{
    label1.Text = "queue could not be found";
}

But Exists() method return false on machine B. The same code works well on machine C.

I found somethings related with msmq domain mode and workgroup mode. I think that msmq installed in workgoup mode on machine B.

How can I change this configuration from workgroup mode to domain mode?
