Microsoft Message Analyzer (MMA) will be retired and its download packages removed from microsoft.com sites on November 25 2019. There is currently no Microsoft replacement for Microsoft Message Analyzer in development at this time. For similar functionality, please consider using a 3rd party network protocol analyzer tool such as WireShark.

If you already have Microsoft Message Analyzer installed, you may continue to use it, along with the OPN parsers you have already downloaded. If you do want to continue using MMA, please make sure you have the latest versions of MMA and OPN parsers installed [...]
