O365 Audit Log Shows Incorrect WorkSpaceName
We experience the same, but not with "Donald" as WorkspaceName but "Torsten", which also does not exist in our envoironment.
We have a Donald too!
I am dubious about the WorkSpaceId and WorkSpaceName columns myself. When I look at the entire history of our audit log (Since around mid-Feb 2018) data, the Workspace column data doesn't always parse with what I know to be true, and it isn't always consistent. Here are a few cases:
1: A user has a hit with "My Workspace", and it is correct. Something they were working on in their workspace.
2: A user hits a known report published in an App (as an aside: is it the Workspace being logged there, or the app? Is the app usage logged anywhere?) and it is correct.
3: A user has a hit with "My Workspace" in both the ID and the Name column, and it is incorrect. I know where the report they're using is published and there is no way it is in their personal workspace. There are a lot of these.
4: A user has a hit with My Workspace in the ID and their first name in the Name column, so we have a bunch of workspaces with first names. By the by, sometimes other peoples' names show up as viewing a report in this My Workspace, so I'm not even sure it's true. And the case in #3 and #4 is happening simultaneously; we have first name workspaces and My workspaces being logged interspersed.
5: A user has a hit with My Workspace in ID and Donald in the Name column. This was a weird series that seems to have mostly abated now but did plague us in October it seems.
Either way, I can't trust the data in either of those Workspace columns at all. I don't know how to parse the historical data to scrub for those things because it is inconsistently logged incorrectly.
Stefan74 do you have a person named Torsten in your org? Per my #4 above that's how we wound up with a bunch of workspaces with first names. Doesn't explain why we had so many Donalds, though, because all sorts of people were showing up in there.

Hi all,
We are also seeing Donald (see my post from last week:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/App-Workspace-Name-Changed-in-Audit-Logs/m-p/562311#M265318
We are escalating to our Microsoft rep, if I hear anything I will pass it along.
