Understanding The usage of MSMQ
I have been reading about MSMQ on this link
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/msmqfaq.mspx.
If I understand all that needed for install is the MSMQ service.
1-Is this correct?
2- Do I need SMTP service or to have an email server for instance exchange server in the network?
it says an application from one computer can send message to a location on the network and another computer can grab that message any time.
3- what do they mean by a message any types of file? txt,xml,html,pdf,etc...?
4-why they call it a message instead of just file?
5-why do they use storage ( a folder in the network) instead of a database (SQL,Oracle,MSAccess,etc..
.) to store the messages instead of a folder?
6- Can I use windows Scripting host to send or retrieve an msmq message? if so can I have an example of a script to try?
Thanks
