Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure AD issue

I'm trying to get the Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure working (works for windows events but nothing else) and I'm running into some problems with AD. I believe I have everything setup correctly. I can search AD, for example, |ldapsearch domain=DOMAIN search="(cn=Administrator)" returns a result. However, when I do this search eventtype=msad-dc-health it returns nothing. And when I try to run one of the macros, like domain-list|dedup host|outputlookup DomainList.csv, it returns Error in 'SearchParser': Could not find macro 'domain-list' that takes 0 arguments. Expecting stanza name 'domain-list'. What am I doing wrong? I've also tried the legacy AD app without success. All the prerequisites appear to be met. Nothing ever populates in the apps AD queries. Thanks.

Fix by Splunk support. There was an issue with the newest version of the Active Directory app.

have you verified your ldapsearch is working properly? Specifically the SA-ldapsearch addon required?

I did. That is working fine. I can search AD and AD changes are being indexed.

Have you deployed the TAs for active directory monitoring?

Specifically: TA-DNSServer-NT5 TA-DNSServer-NT6 TA-DomainController-2012R2 TA-DomainController-NT5 TA-DomainController-NT6 (as appropriate)

Thanks for the reply. I do have those setup in local folders... I think correctly. Any reason why I would be getting this error Error in 'SearchParser': Could not find macro 'domain-list' that takes 0 arguments. Or anything else you can think of that I might be missing? I went through the setup docs very closely. Thanks!
