Create query with "where" clause that targets multiple accounts.
- Jun 22, 2018
I assume that you only need to have the the or statement in the same line with the where clause and it should work.
However, I would prefer the following approach:datatable (EventID:int, TargetAccount:string)[4723, "Domain\\Administrator",4711, "Domain\\Administrator",4711, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4724, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4723, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4724, "foo.bar",]| where EventID in (4723, 4724)| where TargetAccount in ("Domain\\Administrator","Domain\\ServiceAccount")

Actually nevermind, I think I understand. Do you know if it's possible to target Active Directory OUs? Like for example:
SecurityEvent
| where EventID in (4723, 4724)
| where TargetOU == "CN=ServiceAccounts,OU=Company,OU=com"This would make my life a lot easier.

Unfortunately I have no SecurityEvent entries in my workspace (we only have custom logs).
I used the datatable operator to simulate a similar input.

I've tried using "or" on the same line but it still doesn't work.
Can you explain the following part a little further?
datatable (EventID:int, TargetAccount:string)[4723, "Domain\\Administrator",4711, "Domain\\Administrator",4711, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4724, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4723, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",4724, "foo.bar",Do you use this in conjunction with the "where" statements at the end? Or is it just another way to word it to get the same result?For example, will this:SecurityEvent (EventID:int, TargetAccount:string)[4723, "Domain\\Administrator",4724, "Domain\\ServiceAccount",]Return the same results as this:SecurityEvent| where EventID in (4723, 4724)| where TargetAccount in ("Domain\\Administrator","Domain\\ServiceAccount")
