Getting Data In

Exchange Powershell cmdlets not accessible to Splunk for Exchange Powershell Modules?

Hi,

I've installed the Splunk App for Exchange and it appears that none of the powershell modules are functioning correctly. I know that they are running, but none are returning data. On further analysis, it appears that the built in exchange modules cmdlets that are being called from the splunk powershell modules are not accessible. Any ideas on how to fix?

Figured it out. The forwarder on the exchange servers was running under using a Domain Account instead of local system. Changing it to local system resolved the issue.

Also, please make sure you're able to run the Exchange cmdlets from the Exchange Management Shell. If that doesn't work, there might be an issue with your Exchange server.

Hi, can you update your question to include actual error messages? What steps did you follow during installation so far, etc.
