Hi, Refer to this MSDN article which says that By default, Service Broker message delivery is active in a database when the database is created. To determine if Service Broker is active for a database, check the is_broker_enabled column of the sys.databases catalog view. To activate Service Broker in a database: ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks SET ENABLE_BROKER ; http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166086.aspx
