MSMQ Message Queuing
In order to use the Windows MSMQ Queue Length Sensor in PRTG you need to start the Message Queuing service on both the computer running the PRTG probe and the target system (for example, start services in services.msc).
Message Queuing is only automatically installed on some server Windows versions. Depending on the Windows version you're using you have to install the Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) Server first.
For details, please see Microsoft article:

Directory Service Integration
Note: When installing Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) Server, make sure you install it including the Directory Service. Depending on your Windows installation this might have different names, such as
- MSMQ Active Directory Domain Service Integration
- Directory Service Integration
- Active Directory Integration
See sample screen shots below.
Windows 2003
Windows 2008 R2
Windows 7
