Troubleshooting
Problem
When an event for the Microsoft Windows Security DSM has a user ending with dollar sign "$", this user is not extracted.
Symptom
For example, in this Windows Security event:
<13>Jun 23 12:03:29 MyServerName AgentDevice=WindowsLog AgentLogFile=Security
PluginVersion=7.3.0.41 Source=Security Computer=Server OriginatingComputer=x.x.x.1
User=SYSTEM Domain=NT AUTHORITY EventID=540 EventIDCode=540 EventType=8
EventCategory=2 RecordNumber=27741234 TimeGenerated=1656000205
TimeWritten=1656000205 Level=0 Keywords=0 Task=0 Opcode=0
Message=Successful Network Logon: User Name: SERVERFLOW2$ Domain:…
The username SERVERFLOW$ is not extracted, even if the event is open with the DSM Editor:
Note: By default the Microsoft Windows Security DSM extracts the username information from the "Message" field and not from the "User" metadate field, which usually says SYSTEM when the user is a system account.
