To get started, download Network Monitor tool. For more information, see Microsoft Message Analyzer Operating Guide.

For similar functionality, consider using another, non-Microsoft network protocol analyzer tool. There is currently no Microsoft replacement for Microsoft Message Analyzer in development at this time. Also, Microsoft Message Analyzer (MMA) was retired and its download packages were removed from sites on November 25, 2019.

Network Monitor is the archived protocol analyzer and is no longer under development.
