The Message Queuing service resource cannot bind to the cluster IP address.

Microsoft.MSMQ.2008.Rule.Alert.Event2168 (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The Message Queuing service resource cannot bind to the cluster IP Address.

Causes

The MSMQ Service on the physical node must be cluster aware. If the service is not cluster aware, this prevents the Message Queuing resource from coming online on this node.

This problem can occur if the MSMQ Service running on the physical node was started before the computer became a member of the server cluster. As a result, the MSMQ Service running on the physical node listens on all IP addresses of the computer and prevents the Message Queuing resource from listening on the cluster IP address.

Resolutions

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Restart the MSMQ Service

To restart the MSMQ Service:

Verify

You can use Failover Cluster Management to determine whether the Message Queuing cluster resource is online, or you can use the Cluster.exe tool to determine whether Windows Failover Clustering is installed and running.
