Then you find that installing winpcap or wireshark was simply out of scope or otherwise not allowed on that SQL, Exchange, Oracle or other host? It used to be that this is when we’d recommend installing Microsoft’s Netmon packet capture utility, but even then lots of IT managers would hesitate about using the “install” word in association with a critical server.
