WireShark on windows server

0

I have a windows server that has a 10g fiber card on it. I would like to install wireshark on the server and use it for captures. Do I need to be running a particular windows server version?

As long as it's 2k8 or later it should be fine. 2k3 might work.

I suspect you might drop packets though if the traffic is running near the full line rate. You should maybe capture with dumpcap, and then examine the captures later.
