What's new

• The app now comes with a 60-day trial license, which now means there are no restrictions or intermediate steps required to obtain the app. (MSAPP-2381, MSAPP-2398)

Current known issues

The Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange has the following known issues:

• When you install the TA-DomainController-2012R2 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller that does not hold the DNS Server role, the ad-health.ps1 script within the TA fails to run because of missing cmdlets. This problem has been addressed and will be fixed in a future version of the product. (MSAPP-2750)
• The dashboard builder does not work properly with Internet Explorer version 8 or earlier. To work around the problem, use another Splunk Enterprise-supported browser. (MSAPP-2259, MSAPP-2277)
• Column sorting does not work properly on the Network Monitor browser page. (MSAPP-1815, SPL-80746)
• Searches in the Host Performance page can be slow. (MSAPP-2276)
• If you click the Back button on your browser when you are in the Setup page for the app, the app incorrectly reloads the Setup page instead of returning you to the page you were on before you loaded the Setup page. This problem appears to only happen with Internet Explorer 11. (MSAPP-2245)
• If you upgrade Splunk after installing the Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange, you might experience spurious JavaScript errors when you next load the app. To fix the problem, perform a hard refresh of the page (usually by clicking your web browser's 'Reload' icon while holding down the Shift key. (MSAPP-2162)
• Some minor artifacts occur when you collapse the "Add Panels" sidebar on the Dashboard Builder page. (MSAPP-2109)
• Some minor artifacts occur when navigating through the app menus. (MSAPP-2061)
• The app displays errors when you change the root endpoint. (MSAPP-2389)

Change log (what's been fixed)

• The Performance Monitoring lookup builder now works properly. (MSAPP-2244)
• The app now properly detects and reports Group Policy Object changes. (MSAPP-764, MSAPP-1177, MSAPP-1973, MSAPP-2350, MSAPP-2352, MSAPP-2354))
• The Exchange Overview page now properly displays all data. (MSAPP-2387)
