I ran into the same issue trying to write to the MSMQ through ASP.NET (Windows 7). I added "Receive Message" "Peek Message" and "Send Message" permissions and it works correctly now. If you're running this through ASP.NET, then you're probably under the IIS_IUSRS account.

How do you add those permissions? – hofnarwillie Feb 10 '16 at 13:28

Under computer management (right click "Computer" from the start menu and choose "Manage"), go to the "Message Queuing" section and right-click on the queue name you want and choose "Properties" --> click the "Security" tab and you can manage the permissions there. – Glade Mellor Feb 10 '16 at 16:17
I have those permissions setup and it still is throwing this error – emirhosseini Jun 05 '18 at 17:19
@emirhosseini If security isn't a big issue for you, You can follow saille's answer in which he unchecked: "Disable un-authenticated RPC calls" – Chirag K Mar 07 '19 at 13:03

In my case, the MSMQ queues were owned by my own Windows user-account (local admin), because they had been created from running a console app from Visual Studio in administrator mode.

My web-app runs as NETWORK SERVICE, which spawned the

Access to Message Queuing system is denied

error.

I fixed this by giving NETWORK SERVICE full control:

Computer Management > Services and Applications > Message Queuing > Private Qeues > Right click queue > Properties > Security

Restart MSMQ service and IIS:

NET STOP MSMQ
NET START MSMQ
IISRESET

Server2008:

Control Panel->Administration Tools->Computer Management.
In Computer Management->Services and Applications->Message Queuing->Private Queues.
Right Click [UrQueueName] -> Properties -> Security
- Set Everyone to Full Control
- Set ANONYMOUS LOGON to Full Control.
In Computer Management -> Services
- Restart Message Queuing service.

In Windows 7(Client): Create Rc Message Queue with FormatName:DIRECT=OS:MachineName\private$\UrQueueName

Example:

rcmq = new System.Messaging.MessageQueue(string.Format("FormatName:DIRECT=OS:{0}\\private$\\{1}", rcMachineName,rcQueueName));

Thanks to this post, I've been able to remove the "Access Denied" problem: https://codifying.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/msmq-solving-access-denied-errors-for-private-queues/

The original problem

...is frustrating, the queue is listed in the Server Management under Private Queues, but I was no possibility to :

Delete => Permission denied
Edit security permission => Permission denied
View the remaining message in the queue => Permission denied

The solution

Create a queue manually (used later), let's call it FA1
Close Services: Message Queuing (+ Listener Adapter for Net.Msmq)
Then go to System32/msmq/storage/lqs
Find the latest file for FA1 (check if it's the right file, every file in here can be opened with notepad) and then copy the value of the attribute Security
Find the file associated with the issue queue, paste it the value copied in the previous step
Delete the file associated with FA1
Open the two previously closed services
Go to Server Manager

The error message should no longer appear

But... you might get another problem with your software while trying to read/connect to that queue, it will complain that it has not enough privileges, so the last step is to go to the advanced properties of that queue and set the full control access to everyone (well, maybe you will specify a specific user, but that's what I did to ensure that I don't get blocked on my own dev server).

This is the correct answer. The only addition is you will want a copy of the FA1 file to put back in the folder so you can later delete the temporary FA1 queue as a final step. — Van, Nov 30 '18 at 19:59

If you are trying to read a message from a remote queue then permissions is the main culprit, as kprobst mentioned.

You can also get other causes:

Failing to read from remote MSMQ queues

There are many reasons for this error. One, it could be security. You need to make sure that the account under which your application is running has read/write access to the queue (or as high a permission level as you need).

Second, make sure that if the queue is transactional, you're using the correct transaction mode for it. Or alternatively, if the queue is not transactional, that you're not attempting to pass a transaction mode to it when you read or write.

Transactional/Non-transactional will not create Access Denied errors. You should get transaction-specific errors - 0xC00E0050 (MQ_ERROR_TRANSACTION_USAGE). – John Breakwell Mar 26 '12 at 21:43
@JohnBreakwell thanks for the clarification, I did a bit of Googling and that came up. It would have been weird to me that this was the case, but I thought I'd mention it anyway just in case. The main culprit is almost always permissions. – kprobst Mar 26 '12 at 22:07

For us, it was because a test program created the queue...

Solution: delete the queue and let it be recreated by the right processes running under the right credentials.

This worked for us: Server manager -> Features -> Message Queuing -> Right Click -> Properties -> Server Security

Un-check: "Disable un-authenticated RPC calls"

This could turn into a frustrating issue. In my scenario, the exception was thrown on BeginReceive(). I had an existing message queue which was created by a .Net 2.0 application and I was trying to use it in another application that was running on .Net 4.0. The solution was to delete the MSMQ (located at C:\Windows\System32\msmq\storage\lqs ), and recreate it with .Net 4.0.

That's interesting. I take it you don't have copies of the problem LQS files anymore? – John Breakwell Aug 29 '14 at 13:02
@JohnBreakwell Not anymore, upgrading applications from .Net 2.0 to 4.0 was an interesting practice. We faced new issues we never knew before. – Houman Sep 02 '14 at 03:53

In our case, changing the Identity of Application Pool of the web service that invokes the Peek MSMQ helped with this issue which started happening after a server migration.

We had to change the App Pool Identity from "ApplicationPoolIdentity" to "NetworkService". It worked afterwards.

Please log in to your sever manager and check in your message queue properties that have assigned "send message" , "peek message" and other required privileges to IIS User or everyone ..
