Netmon 4.0 beta…

Applies to:

Windows Server 2012

Windows 8

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows 7

Hi all,

Ok, so there is no Netmon “4.0” beta. To help customers find the new tool that replaces “Netmon”, I used the catchy title.

Our Product group has been working on a replacement for the Microsoft Network Monitor (Netmon) 3.4.

Netmon is being retired and the new tool is called the Microsoft Message Analyzer.

Message Analyzer beta 3 is currently available for download from our Microsoft Connect beta website.

When you get to the webpage, make sure to sign-in with your LiveId, etc…

Click on “Microsoft Connect” icon on the top-left.

Under “Search Products accepting bugs or suggestions”

Type “Message Analyzer” and click on Search.

Click on “Join” next to “Message Analyzer and Network Monitor”

You will get a message similar to the one above.

Click on “Download”

Select the version that you need x86 or x64 and click on it.

In this example, I selected “MessageAnalyzer64.msi”

Click on “Download”

In the next post (Installing the Microsoft Message Analyzer Beta 3.), I’ll go over the installation process.

For details of what is available with the Microsoft Message Analyzer beta, please read thru the official blog:

This name is extremely confusing. Ask anyone out there what "Microsoft Message Analyzer" could be, and they will respond "Oh surely some kind of Exchange/Outlook analyzing tool right ?". Mind-boggling imho.
