Get list of Private Queues using JavaScript

I just need to get a list of the current private message queues (MSMQ). Not the actual messages, just the name of the queues. Preferably in JavaScript. It doesn't appear to be anywhere in the registry. I also tried looking through the available functions in "dotNET" and "dotNET.System" but don't really see anything about messaging. Is there a way to do this?

    I figured it out! Had to query the WMI object: 

    // Query WMI for Message Queues
var privateQueueNames = [];
var Locator = getActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
Locator.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3;
var wmiobj = Locator.ConnectServer(".", "root\\cimv2");
var queryresults = wmiobj.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_PerfRawdata_MSMQ_MSMQQueue Where Name like \"%private%\"");
// Push all queue names into privateQueueNames
for( var items = new Enumerator(queryresults); !items.atEnd(); items.moveNext() )
  privateQueueNames.push(items.item().Name);
// Convert the function elements into strings
privateQueueNames = privateQueueNames.join();
privateQueueNames = privateQueueNames.split(",");
Log.Message(privateQueueNames);
