Hi, I'm using Enterprise Vault(EV) 14.1. EV uses MSMQ for archiving tasks, we discontinue an Exchange server and now I need to manually delete Msmq private Queue that was used to archive our old server. we recently move EV to a new cluster (Windows 2019) and now I can remove this queue. In windows 2008 R2 to delete this queue, all I needed to do was select the queue and press DEL key or with the right mouse button select delete options, now I only have "HELP" options, and this is help for MMC.

Can anyone help?

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/msmq/remove-msmqqueue?view=windowsserver2019-ps

    Hello LimitlessTechnology-2700,
    This PowerShell cmdlet does solve my problem or I don't know how.
    I don't how to use this cmdlet again a computer name that is a cluster group
    I used this article https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100010371 to recreate msmq.
    I'll would prefer delete the unneeded queue instead of recreate all the service
