An Unattended Setup Example

This section contains a sample Msmqinst.ini file created for a hypothetical company called Volcano Coffee. Volcano Coffee plans to implement MSMQ using the following criteria:

One PEC in Seattle. The enterprise will be called Volcano Coffee, the PEC computer name will be \\VolcanoPEC, and the site name will be Seattle.
A second site in Portland will be named Portland. This PSC will be installed on a computer called \\PortlandPSC.
One BSC at each site.
One MSMQ routing server at each site.
50 MSMQ independent clients at each site.
The MQIS data device on the PEC, the Portland PSC, and both BSCs will be 50 megabytes. The MQIS log device on those computers will be 8 megabytes. For better performance, each server will have two physical drives with the data device on drive C and the log device on drive D.
The independent clients in the Seattle site use the IP protocol, and will therefore use an IP CN called Volcano IP. The independent clients in the Portland site use the IPX protocol, and will therefore use an IPX CN called Volcano IPX. The MSMQ servers in both sites use both IP and IPX protocols, and will therefore belong to both CNs.

Because Volcano Coffee has two sites, two Msmqinst.ini files are needed. One Msmqinst.ini file could be used, but you would need to create an entry for each computer that is not in the default site.

The following Msmqinst.ini file will be used to install MSMQ on all computers in the Volcano Coffee Seattle site.

[Common Parameters]
ControllerServer=volcanopec
DataDevice=c:\msmq,50
LogDevice=d:\msmq,8
IPAddresses=Volcano IP
IPXAddresses=Volcano IPX

; Setup uses the following section to install the Volcano PEC
[VolcanoPEC]
ServerType=PEC
EnterpriseName=Volcano Coffee
IPCNs= Volcano IP; Test Lab IP
IPXCNs= Volcano IPX
SiteName=Seattle

; Setup uses the following section to install the BSC for the 
; Volcano PEC
[SeattleBSC]
ServerType=BSC

; Setup uses the following section to install
; an MSMQ routing server in the Seattle site 
; Because the server has two network adapters, 
; the IPAddresses entry is needed to pair the IP 
; address with the available CNs
[SeattleRS]
ServerType=RS
IPAddresses=157.55.86.198,Seattle IP; 157.55.86.199,Test Lab IP

; Setup uses the following section when you install 
; MSMQ for a lab user that does not use the default CN.
