Regex expression to extract fields

I have two fields below that show up in our log files.  I used Splunk tool to create the Regex to extract the fields and at first I thought it worked until we had fields with different values that didn't extract.  Is there a simple Regex I can use to extract ObjectType and Domain Controller fields in example below?  Values should never have space so we can end value after first space.

ObjectType User

Domain Controller TSTETCDRS001

And simple

Object\s+Type\s+(?<Object Type>\w+)

Doesn't work?

Same for the other one

Domain\s+Controller\s+(?<Domain Controller>\w+)

Really appreciate the help.  That worked for those 2.  I also need one for Target.  I tried this:

Target\s+(?<Target>\w+)

But with a value of this:

Target ABCDE\test.user

I only get the ABCDE.  How do I change the expression to get the entire ABCDE\test.user

I was able to get this to work by changing w to S like this:

Target\s+(?<Target>\S+)

Thanks again for the help

These are coming from windows event logs.  Some of the fields are in name value pairs and extract on their own but last 4 fields are the ones I need expressions for.  Here is example of entire message:
