Creating a session in Message Analyzer

- [Instructor] The next monitoring tool that I want to show…fills in some middle ground between looking at history…and planning for the future.…There's a lot that can be gained…by watching what's going on with your server…and the network around it right now.…Those of you that have been around…Windows Server for a while may be familiar…with an older tool, the network monitor.…Others may be partial to third party…network capture tools like Wireshark.…Microsoft has taken a step forward…from the old network monitor and introduced…the Microsoft Message Analyzer.…

The Message Analyzer goes a little bit further…than simply capturing datagrams…coming and going on the network…to identify security threats and understand…how the server's being used.…It will also take these packets and group them together…into messages to better understand the communication…and it works at different layers within Windows…and on the OSI model.…It can interact with applications…and view an entire conversation before it's encrypted…on the sending side and use the proper certificates…
