Can't start a new Queue-Manager on MQ Explorer - ibm-mq

Question

After creating a new Queue-Manager using the MQ Explorer, it's fails to be started properly and provide the following message:
Command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin\crtmqm" -sa test_qm
WebSphere MQ queue manager created.
Directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ\qmgrs\test_qm'
created.
The queue manager is associated with installation 'WMQ75Install'.
exitvalue = 2059
I couldn't figure out how to solve it from the logs and tried to start it manually from the MQ Explorer and from the command-line shell as well, but without any success - it just not started.

Answer 1

At a guess, is johnsmith a domain id? Is this a domain workstation (what is 'johnsmith#intranet')? My suspicion is you have a machine in a domain but you have not configured MQ to run on a machine in a domain. I think the issue is that at startup MQ is trying to determine what groups the userid 'johnsmith#intranet' is a member of, and hence fails. Its possible, adding johnsmith to the local mqm group may get you futher although my suspicion is you need to do the domain configuration. See another answer for details of what to do:
Issue with permission grant to domain users in IBM web sphere queue manager

Answer 2

First, make sure your UserID is part of the 'mqm' group and second reboot your PC (wonderful things happen when you reboot Windows!).
