This will set the rule to “Enforce rules” by default, however we can optionally click the drop down to change it to “Audit only” which will allow executable files to run and only log the action. We can get started with the default settings by clicking the “Configure rule enforcement” link on this screen which opens up the following window.īy default each of these four items is unticked and not enabled, we can tick the box next to “Configured” to enable it. From within GPME, select Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > AppLocker Control Policies > AppLocker.įrom here we can view the main AppLocker interface where we can create executable, windows installer, script, and packaged app rules. This will open the Group Policy Management Editor (GPME). Once the base GPO has been created, right click it and select Edit. In this case we’ll create one called AppLocker. We’ll start by opening Server Manager, selecting Tools, followed by Group Policy Management.įrom the Group Policy Management window that opens, we’ll select the group policy objects folder within the domain, right click and select new to create a new group policy object (GPO). Now we’ll actually implement AppLocker rules using group policy. If a file changes at all, for instance if an executable is updated, it will not be allowed to run as the allowed hash will have changed too. File Hash: While this may be the most secure option, it is inconvenient to work with and manage.Path: Executables can be whitelisted by providing a folder path, for example we can say that anything within C:\executables is allowed to be run by a specific active directory user group.If the publisher, file name or version etc change then the executable will no longer be allowed to run. Publisher: This method of whitelisting items is used when creating default rules as we’ll soon see, it works based on checking the publisher of the executable and allowing this.With each of these rules we can whitelist based on the publisher, path, or file hash. Packaged App Rules: These rules apply to the Windows applications that may be downloaded through the Windows store with the.Script Rules: These rules apply to scripts such as.
