When migrating your BizTalk Server environment or deploy to a new or different environment, there are many different resources or configurations that you need to take into considerations like:
- local queue creations
- cloud queue creations
- folder creations
- and so on.
In this blog post, I will address how we can easily “export” a list of existing local private Message Queues (MSMQ) and recreate them, and set proper permissions in a different environment/server.
PowerShell script to extract a list of all private Message Queues (MSMQ) names

Get-MsmqQueue -QueueType Private | Select-Object QueueName, Transactional, UseJournalQueue | Export-Csv -Path c:\temp\queues.csv -Encoding ascii -NoTypeInformation
