Splunk Search

No search results from Windows Servers (DC and EXCH)- what to do next?

I recently inherited a newly configured Splunk Enterprise 8 environment after the former admin left. I have a basic user level knowledge of Splunk so I will describe my issue the best I can.

When we try to search for a specific or wildcard event (ie: print logs) we only receive results from the Linux servers but not the Windows servers. I was suggested to check the .conf files for Windows TA, but I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for within the files. The Splunk documentation site has been helpful, however it doesn't explain why we aren't seeing events. Splunk is installed on RHEL8 and we have installed forwarders on all the servers. I do not know where to go from here. Any assistance is appreciated. 

*Note: Former admin claimed that the server was fully configured in accordance with DIA's required auditable event list. The server is receiving data however it is not being disseminated properly.
