Microsoft published a table that compares Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education. I don’t cover the Home edition in this article. As in previous Windows versions, the main feature that the Home edition lacks is the support for Active Directory.

Applocker Csp Windows 10 Pro

A while ago I did a blog post about. During that specific post I showed how to use OMA-DM, via Microsoft Intune standalone and hybrid, to configure Windows Defender.

In this post I’ll do something similar for AppLocker. However, I have to admit that it was a bit more challenging for AppLocker. The main difference is that Windows 10 includes many different separate policy settings for Windows Defender, but provides a separate configuration service provider (CSP) for AppLocker.During this post I’ll show how to create the required AppLocker XML, what the AppLocker XML looks like, what the AppLocker CSP looks like and how to combine the AppLocker XML and the AppLocker CSP. I’ll end this post with the end-user experience. During this post I’ll use the build-in Windows 10 app Candy Crush Soda Saga as an example. Create the AppLocker XMLThe required AppLocker XML can be created by using the Local Security Policy snap-in, the Local Group Policy Editor snap-in or the Group Policy Management snap-in.

Any of these snap-ins will work in a similar way for creating the required AppLocker XML. It doesn’t matter which snap-in is used, as long as it’s being used on a Windows 10 device. That makes it easier with configuring and selecting the required apps. During the following twelve steps, I’ll use the Local Group Policy Editor snap-in for configuring the Candy Crush Soda Saga app. Inside the AppLocker CSPBefore using the AppLocker CSP it’s good to get a better understanding of the different nodes. The AppLocker CSP contains nodes for the different configuration components of AppLocker. Let’s go through these different nodes./Vendor/MSFT/AppLocker – Defines the root node for the AppLocker configuration service provider;.

ApplicationLaunchRestrictions – Defines restrictions for applications;. Grouping – Defines dynamic nodes. These nodes contains a GUID naming that can be literally anything.

That GUID makes sure that the un-enrollment of a device will behave as expected;. EXE MSI Script StoreApps DLL CodeIntegrety – Defines restrictions for launching executable applications, Windows Installer files, scripts, store apps and DLL files;. Policy – Defines the policy for launching executable applications, Windows Installer files, scripts, store apps, and DLL files.

The contents of this node is precisely the RuleCollection element as discussed in the previous paragraph.Create AppLocker OMA-URINow it’s time to use the created AppLocker XML for configuring Windows 10 devices. The key with this is that only the RuleCollection element is required that matches with the node in AppLocker CSP.

With the RuleCollection element of the Appx type, I need the StoreApp node in the AppLocker CSP. This is applicable to Microsoft Intune hybrid and standalone.

Microsoft Inune hybridLet’s start with the configuration in Microsoft Intune hybrid. I’ll walk through the required steps to configure the required OMA-URI configuration item. Hi Peter,We are trying to build an EMM solution and want to expose the App-Locking solution to our customers. Meaning the administrators can choose what apps to lock from a UI as you have shown.However where we are stuck is when we query for App Inventory, we get the Product-Ids and not the Product Names.Like for example we get this king.com.CandyCrushSagakgqvnymyfvs32 and not Candy Crush Saga.Ofcourse we can apply some patterns and get an approximate name and allow the administrators to choose, however instead of guessing the Product Name from the Product Id, is there a better way to get the actual name of the application that is installed.Thank you,Sriram. Hi Peter,Thank you for quick response. Actually we are trying to build an EMM solution for our customer to manage Windows devices. Like you have described in this blog even they want the App-Locker feature.As you have shown in your article, there is a dialog where user can select the list of applications that they can choose to allow/block.
