MQ_ERROR_CANNOT_JOIN_DOMAIN: MSMQ stayed in workgroup mode after the computer joined the domain

MQ_ERROR_CANNOT_JOIN_DOMAIN (0xC00E0076) identifies a specific boundary: MSMQ stayed in workgroup mode after the computer joined the domain. Keep it separate from neighboring errors that may occur in the same product but represent a different lookup, state, trust, or transport decision.

Evidence to capture

Capture the machine domain membership, MSMQ service account, AD DS registration attempt, target domain controller, and the first LDAP/MSMQ error. The operating-system domain join can succeed while MSMQ registration fails independently.

Corrective test

Retry MSMQ domain integration after AD DS reachability and permissions are correct; verify that the MSMQ configuration object is actually created and that the service leaves workgroup mode. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
