MQ_ERROR_GC_NEEDED: the requested MSMQ directory object creation requires a Global Catalog-capable AD DS path

MQ_ERROR_GC_NEEDED (0xC00E008E) identifies a specific boundary: the requested MSMQ directory object creation requires a Global Catalog-capable AD DS path. 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

Record the supplied GUID, target domain/forest, selected domain controller, schema/forest behavior, and the object-creation request. The directory rejected the supplied-GUID scenario under the current topology.

Corrective test

Use a supported Global Catalog/forest path or let AD DS allocate the object identity as required, then repeat the same MSMQ object creation. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
