Good morning group,

I have been working on a rule that takes failed windows logon attempts and
alerts if the failed logon involves a domain administrative account of some
form.  We use various naming conventions for administrative accounts.  One
example is sa.*

Currently I'm using <match>sa.</match> to locate the admin account failure.
However, this also generates an alert for a regular user account such as
lisa.*...  I have tried using regular expressions in the form of:

<match>^sa.</match>
<match>^sa.\.</match>
<match>^sa.\.*</match>
<match>^sa.\.+</match>
<regex>^sa.</regex>
<regex>^sa.\.</regex>
<regex>^sa.\.*</regex>

and so on.  I haven't had any luck with getting any alerts to fire with any
of these statements.  Would someone in this group have any ideas?  Thanks!
