MessageStats 7.8.1 - Report Pack for Exchange ActiveSync Release Notes

Table 1. Installation known issues
Known issue	Issue ID
MessageStats 7.8.1 supports an in-place upgrade from 7.4 or 7.4.1. If you have an earlier version (6.5.1 to 7.3) of MessageStats, you must first upgrade to 7.4.1 and then upgrade 7.4.1 to 7.8.1. When you upgrade the MessageStats Exchange ActiveSync report pack from version 7.3 to 7.4.1, during the installation process when the installer is removing 7.3, a task dialog appears that says that the installer is “Waiting for the Global Schema Cache” The process will retry until it fails. The installer is looking for the gsc.xml in the old location but it now resides in Quest\MessageStats. Solution You can ignore this message. Click OK and continue with the installation. The report pack will be upgraded without any issues.	NA

Table 2. Reports known issues
Known issue	Issue ID
The Exchange ActiveSync Device Inventory report can contain the wrong OS version number for some Apple devices. This can occur when a user updates the OS on the device to a newer version and ActiveSync fails to update the Device User Agent that is stored in the user’s mailbox. Workaround Delete the device partnership information stored in the user’s mailbox. The next time that the device is synchronized, new device partnership information is written to the mailbox. The new information contains the correct Device User Agent value. To delete device information from one or more mailboxes, use the Remove-ActiveSyncDevice PowerShell cmdlet. NOTE: If you delete the device partnership information that is stored in a user’s mailbox, the First Sync Time value is reset for the device.	NA
Attachments that are downloaded by mobile mail apps that do not follow the Microsoft ActiveSync protocol to fetch an attachment (using the Sync command instead of the GetAttachment or ItemOperation commands) may not be counted in the Exchange ActiveSync User Email Attachments report.	771457
