Version 102 of the "Microsoft: Exchange Server" PowerPack addressed support defects affecting PowerShell Dynamic Applications and adds a new Dynamic Application.
- Minimum Required SL1 Version: 12.1.2
Before You Install or Upgrade
Ensure that you are running version 12.1.2 or later of SL1 before installing the "Microsoft: Exchange Server" PowerPack.
For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.
Installation and Upgrade Process
By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack will overwrite all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent the new version of the PowerPack from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields.
If you are currently using the Dynamic Applications in the PowerPack to monitor devices, collection errors might occur for one or two polling cycles during the installation of a new version. To prevent collection errors during an upgrade, you can optionally disable collection for monitored devices before performing the following steps and re-enable collection after the upgrade.
