Research direction

Read the linked MSMQ and Windows Containers article, then investigate the reported C:\windows\system32\msmq\storage mount and the 0xc00e0001 startup error. Done means providing reproducible samples for private transactional queues with persistent volumes across two containers and documenting the expected setup.

Description

question triage

In this article https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/containers/msmq-and-windows-containers/1981414
you desrcribe that you tested private transactional queues with persistent volume over 2 containers. Can you please provide some samples for this setup? I'll always get errors when I try to mount a volume at C:\windows\system32\msmq\storage

The Message Queuing service cannot start. The internal private queue 'admin_queue$' cannot be initialized. If the problem persists, reinstall Message Queuing. Error 0xc00e0001:
(From eventlog)

I'll try to isolate the message queue system from the message read and publish pipeline. We wan't to migrate a legacy system into containers.
