MicrosoftAnnoucement: Updated Network Assessment Tool released on 12/8 - added network connectivity checks
The current version of this tool appears to be very broken; after changing the number of iterations to the desired amount (2000 in the below example), only about one quarter of the results are processed with the results analyser - the rest are skipped.
Looking at the source results file, it's clear that only tests with around 850 packets sent / received are processed, and that any tests with around 280 packets sent / received are skipped;
I've tested this thoroughly and can see no logic as to why it utilises 250ish packets sometimes, and 850ish others. This isn't a configurable variable.
Any chance of getting this fixed?
Kind regards
Ben
Any update on this issue?
Thanks.

Microsoft has released the update for the Network Assessment Tool on March 5th. It is version 1.1.0.0.
It's at the regular download page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53885
Has anyone had a chance to try it out yet?
Initial issue encountered was that attempting to install the new version over an existing version (if there was already an existing version installed) resulted in the new version bits never being installed. The NTFS timestamps on all the files remained showing the Dec version. Using the assessment tool after the attempted install also resulted in the same issues already listed in the thread.
As of today, I uninstalled the Dec version. Then installed the new Mar version and thus far I have not had issues with packet sent/received being reported as 283. All of my smoke-tests today have been positive, with packets sent/received being reported as >848.
I can confirm that uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed the 283 packets bug. Thanks Trevor.
