redirect - IIS rewrite rule not passing parameters

Question

I have redirects currently set up to go from oldsite.com to newsite.com using a rewrite map. They work except when a parameter is passed through the URL, ex. http://oldsite.com?utm_source=go.wayne.edu&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=quick-access&utm_content=, still goes to the old page instead of redirecting to the new page with the parameters, ex. http://newsite.com?utm_source=go.wayne.edu&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=quick-access&utm_content=.

Here's my code:

            <rule name="Redirects to New Site">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions trackAllCaptures="true">
                        <add input="{RelaunchRedirects:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://newsite.com/{C:0}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>

Still very new to all of this and I can't figure out why the parameters are not passing. I've seen some similar cases on here but haven't been able to get those solutions to work for me.

Any ideas on what I can do to make this work?

You can try to use this URL Rewrite rule:

       <rewrite>
            <rules>
                 <rule name="Redirects to New Site" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions trackAllCaptures="true">
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Redirect" url="http://newsite.com{URL}" appendQueryString="true" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
