Error message when you run BizTalk Server on a cluster: "The Messaging Engine failed to add a receive location <QueueName>"

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You run Microsoft BizTalk Server on a cluster. Additionally, you use a clustered Microsoft Message Queuing resource. In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
The Messaging Engine failed to add a receive location QueueName with URL "FORMATNAME:DIRECT=OS:ComputerName\PRIVATE$\QueueName" to the adapter "MSMQ".
Reason: "The required Microsoft Message Queuing service has not been started."

CAUSE

This issue occurs if the Message Queuing service does not start automatically. By default, the startup type setting for the local instance of the Message Queuing service is set to Manual when a clustered instance of Message Queuing is created.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, change the startup type setting for the Message Queuing service from Manual to Automatic. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
  2. In the Services dialog box, locate Message Queuing.
  3. Right-click Message Queuing, and then click Properties.
  4. In the Startup type box, click Automatic, and then click OK.
  5. Start the Message Queuing service.
