Introduction

This article explains how to verify that the EWS patch for Spindle Document Distribution has been successfully installed.

Following installation, there are a couple of simple checks that can be performed to confirm the patch is in place and functioning correctly. These include reviewing the installed programs on the machine, checking the processor logs for confirmation that the system is using the updated authentication method, and confirming that the installed version is 10.16 or later.

Note: For all stated methods, please ensure a screenshot is taken for confirmation, either during the session once the patch installation is complete, or requested from the customer if they have carried this out themselves. 

It is also important to note that if the version is 10.16 or beyond, Method 1 will not be applicable as patch is in-built.

Methods to check EWS Patch

Method 1: Reviewing programs and features

Open the search bar and type Control Panel, then navigate to Programs > Programs and Features. Alternatively, typing "appwiz.cpl" in search bar brings you to the same page.

From here, check for an entry named Spindle Document Distribution (MS Exchange Patch). Refer to the screenshot:

Method 2: Reviewing processor logs

Navigate to the following location on the machine:

Documents\My Draycir Logs\Spindle Document Distribution

Open either the "SpindleDocDistributionTools_draycir.log" or the "SpindleDocDistributionProcessor_draycir.log".

Within the log, search for “Graph API initialized”. This confirms that the system is using the updated authentication method introduced by the patch. Refer to the screenshot:
