    In regards to the MSMQ, I've done in the past:

     

    Verify all queues are empty (= 0) set backupmode

    Stop EV-services

    Remove all MSMQ's

    Start directory and admin service.

    Start shopping service

    Start indexing service

    Start storage service

    Start taskcontroller service

    after a few minutes (I used 10) verify MSMq's have been recreated.
