Whilst using both a Python script and the Advanced Hunting UI, https://security.microsoft.com/v2/advanced-hunting? the response was 400 error stating the table DeviceEvents, does not exist.

The following permissions have been set for the credentials.

  • ThreatHunting.Read.All 
  • SecurityAlert.Read.All  
  • SecurityIncident.Read.All 
  • SecurityEvents.Read.All 
  • AdvancedQuery.Read.All

However, of the 59 available tables, referenced in the MDE documentation, only 22 successfully ran and the others returned a 400 error stating the table does not exist.

    The error indicates that the table DeviceNetworkEvents does not exist or is not accessible with your current permissions. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot:

    1. Verify Table Availability: Ensure that DeviceNetworkEvents is a valid table in your environment. The availability of tables can vary based on your Microsoft 365 Defender subscription and configuration.
    2. Check Permissions: Confirm that your account has the necessary permissions to access the DeviceNetworkEvents table. The permissions you listed seem appropriate, but double-check if any additional permissions are required.
    3. Table Name Accuracy: Double-check the spelling and case sensitivity of the table name in your query.
    4. Subscription and Data Plan: Ensure that your subscription level includes access to the DeviceNetworkEvents table. Some tables might be available only in higher-tier plans.

    If the issue persists, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
