Hi @Whyruss,

TA-Exchange has multiple TA's inside the package. You should extract the package and use required TA's for installation. If you want to install using GUI, you will need to compress required package using tar or zip before uploading.

If this reply helps you an upvote and "Accept as Solution" is appreciated.

Thank you Seclikok, I did the same as you said. we have an Exchange server 2016 and to monitor incoming and outgoing emails. Can you help me with which TA-exchange should I use? It has four TA inside the addon.

It also can be installed via extracting the package and copy them into "$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/app/" individually. In this case you should restart splunkd service via command "$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk restart" or from WebGUI in "Setting>Server Control>Restart Splunk"
