By default, packages are sent using Medium priority. - - **Enable for on-demand distribution**: Use this setting to enable on-demand content distribution to preferred distribution points. When this setting is enabled, the management point creates a trigger for the distribution manager to distribute the content to all preferred distribution points when a client requests the content for the package and the content is not available on any preferred distribution points. For more information about preferred distribution points and on-demand content, see [Content source location scenarios](/sccm/core/plan-design/hierarchy/content-source-location-scenarios). - - **Prestaged distribution point settings**: Use this setting to specify how you want to distribute content to prestaged distribution points. Choose one of the following options: - - **Automatically download content when packages are assigned to distribution points**: Use this setting to ignore the prestage settings and distribute content to the distribution point. - - **Download only content changes to the distribution point**: Use this setting to prestage the initial content to the distribution point, and then distribute content changes to the distribution point. - - **Manually copy the content in this package to the distribution point**: Use this setting to always prestage content on the distribution point. This is the default setting. - - For more information about prestaging content to distribution points, see [Use Prestaged content](/sccm/core/servers/deploy/configure/deploy-and-manage-content#bkmk_prestage). - Click **Next**. -6. On the **Download Location** page, specify location that Configuration Manager will use to download the software update source files. As needed, use the following options: - - - **Download software updates from the Internet**: Select this setting to download the software updates from the location on the Internet. This is the default setting. - - **Download software updates from a location on the local network**: Select this setting to download software updates from a local folder or shared network folder.

The first option is to use the software updates feature. The second option is to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates. There are times when deploying a Windows 10 feature update requires the use of a task sequence—for example: - -- **Upgrade to the next LTSC release.** With the LTSC servicing branch, feature updates are never provided to the Windows clients themselves. Instead, feature updates must be installed like a traditional in-place upgrade. -- **Additional required tasks.** When deploying a feature update requires additional steps (for example, suspending disk encryption, updating applications), you can use task sequences to orchestrate the additional steps. Software updates do not have the ability to add steps to their deployments. -- **Language pack installations.** When deploying a feature update requires the installation of additional language packs, you can use task sequences to orchestrate the installation. Software updates do not have the ability to natively install language packs. - -If you need to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates, see [Manage Windows as a service using Configuration Manager](/configmgr/osd/deploy-use/manage-windows-as-a-service) for more information. If you find that your requirement for a task sequence is based solely on the need to run additional tasks performed pre-install or pre-commit, see the new [run custom actions](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-enable-custom-actions) functionality first introduced with Windows 10, version 1803.

Quality updates are *cumulative*, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any *servicing stack updates* that might have been released previously. - **Servicing stack updates:** The "servicing stack" is the code component that actually installs Windows updates. From time to time, the servicing stack itself needs to be updated in order to function smoothly. If you don't install the latest servicing stack update, there's a risk that your device can't be updated with the latest Microsoft security fixes. Servicing stack updates are not necessarily included in *every* monthly quality update, and occasionally are released out of band to address a late-breaking issue. Always install the latest available quality update to catch any servicing stack updates that might have been released. The servicing stack also contains the "component-based servicing stack" (CBS), which is a key underlying component for several elements of Windows deployment, such as DISM, SFC, changing Windows features or roles, and repairing components. The CBS is a small component that typically does not have updates released every month. You can find a list of servicing stack updates at [Latest servicing stack updates](https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001). For more detail about servicing stack updates, see [Servicing stack updates](servicing-stack-updates.md). - **Driver updates**: These update drivers applicable to your devices. Driver updates are turned off by default in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but for cloud-based update methods, you can control whether they are installed or not. - **Microsoft product updates:** These update other Microsoft products, such as Office. You can enable or disable Microsoft updates by using policies controlled by various servicing tools. - ## Servicing channels -Windows 10 offers three servicing channels, each of which offers you a different level of flexibility with how and when updates are delivered to devices. Using the different servicing channels allows you to deploy Windows 10 "as a service," which conceives of deployment as a continual process of updates that roll out across the organization in waves. In this approach, an update is plugged into this process and while it runs, you monitor for anomalies, errors, or user impact and respond as issues arise--without interrupting the entire process. +There are three servicing channels, each of which offers you a different level of flexibility with how and when updates are delivered to devices. Using the different servicing channels allows you to deploy Windows "as a service," which conceives of deployment as a continual process of updates that roll out across the organization in waves. In this approach, an update is plugged into this process and while it runs, you monitor for anomalies, errors, or user impact and respond as issues arise--without interrupting the entire process. The first step of controlling when and how devices install updates is assigning them to the appropriate servicing channel. You can assign devices to a particular channel with any of several tools, including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Group Policy settings applied by any of several means. By dividing devices into different populations ("deployment groups" or "rings") you can use servicing channel assignment, followed by other management features such as update deferral policies, to create a phased deployment of any update that allows you to start with a limited pilot deployment for testing before moving to a broad deployment throughout your organization. -### Semi-annual Channel +### General Availability Channel -In the Semi-annual Channel, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them, twice per year.

Deploying previous versions of Windows required organizations to build sets of users to roll out the changes in phases. Typically, these users ranged (in order) from the most adaptable and least risky to the least adaptable or riskiest. With Windows 10, a similar methodology exists, but construction of the groups is a little different. - -Deployment rings in Windows client are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. They are simply a method by which to separate machines into a deployment timeline. With Windows client, you construct deployment rings a bit differently in each servicing tool, but the concepts remain the same. Each deployment ring should reduce the risk of issues derived from the deployment of the feature updates by gradually deploying the update to entire departments. As previously mentioned, consider including a portion of each department’s employees in several deployment rings. - -Defining deployment rings is generally a one-time event (or at least infrequent), but IT should revisit these groups to ensure that the sequencing is still correct. Also, there are times in which client computers could move between different deployment rings when necessary. - -Table 1 provides an example of the deployment rings you might use. - -**Table 1** - -| Deployment ring | Servicing channel | Deferral for feature updates | Deferral for quality updates | Example | -| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | -| Preview | Windows Insider Program | None | None | A few machines to evaluate early builds prior to their arrival to the Semi-Annual channel | -| Broad | Semi-Annual channel | 120 days | 7-14 days | Broadly deployed to most of the organization and monitored for feedback

The LTSC does not receive feature updates. - - -As Table 1 shows, each combination of servicing channel and deployment group is tied to a specific deployment ring. As you can see, the associated groups of devices are combined with a servicing channel to specify which deployment ring those devices and their users fall into. The naming convention used to identify the rings is customizable as long as the name clearly identifies the sequence. Deployment rings represent a sequential deployment timeline, regardless of the servicing channel they contain. Deployment rings will likely rarely change for an organization, but they should be periodically assessed to ensure that the deployment cadence still makes sense. - - -## Steps to manage updates for Windows client - -|  |  | -| --- | --- | -| ![done.](images/checklistdone.png) | [Learn about updates and servicing channels](waas-overview.md) | -| ![done.](images/checklistdone.png) | [Prepare servicing strategy for Windows client updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md) | -| ![done.](images/checklistdone.png) | Build deployment rings for Windows client updates (this article) | -| ![to do.](images/checklistbox.gif) | [Assign devices to servicing channels for Windows client updates](waas-servicing-channels-windows-10-updates.md) | -| ![to do.](images/checklistbox.gif) | [Optimize update delivery for Windows client updates](waas-optimize-windows-10-updates.md) | -| ![to do.](images/checklistbox.gif) | [Deploy updates using Windows Update for Business](waas-manage-updates-wufb.md)

Catalog files can be important in your deployment of Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) if you have unsigned line-of-business (LOB) applications for which the process of signing is difficult. To prepare to create WDAC policies that allow these trusted applications but block unsigned code (most malware is unsigned), you create a *catalog file* that contains information about the trusted applications. After you sign and distribute the catalog, your trusted applications can be handled by WDAC in the same way as any other signed application. With this foundation, you can more easily block all unsigned applications, allowing only signed applications to run. diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md index 9ea7cc663a..96abd74691 100644 --- a/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md +++ b/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ ms.technology: mde - Windows Server 2016 and above >[!NOTE] ->Some capabilities of Windows Defender Application Control are only available on specific Windows versions.

This information is cryptographically stored in the security co-processor Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Once the device is attested, it can be granted access to resources. + +## Device health attestation on Windows + Many security risks can emerge during the boot process as this process can be the most privileged component of the whole system.

However, trusting the Windows security components can only be achieved if the platform boots as expected and was not tampered with. Windows relies on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot, Early-launch antimalware (ELAM), Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM), Trusted Boot, and other low-level hardware and firmware security features. When you power on your PC until your anti-malware starts, Windows is backed with the appropriate hardware configuration to help keep you safe. [Measured and Trusted boot](information-protection/secure-the-windows-10-boot-process.md), implemented by bootloaders and BIOS, verifies and cryptographically records each step of the boot in a chained manner. These events are bound to a security coprocessor (TPM) that acts as the Root of Trust. Remote Attestation is the mechanism by which these events are read and verified by a service to provide a verifiable, unbiased, and tamper resilient report. Remote attestation is the trusted auditor of your system's boot, allowing specific entities to trust the device. + +A summary of the steps involved in attestation and Zero Trust on the device side are as follows: + +1. During each step of the boot process, such as a file load, update of special variables, and more, information such as file hashes and signature are measured in the TPM PCRs. The measurements are bound by a [Trusted Computing Group specification](https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/pc-client-platform-tpm-profile-ptp-specification/) (TCG) that dictates what events can be recorded and the format of each event. + +2. Once Windows has booted, the attestor/verifier requests the TPM to fetch the measurements stored in its Platform Configuration Register (PCR) alongside a TCG log. Both of these together form the attestation evidence that is then sent to the attestation service. + +3. The TPM is verified by using the keys/cryptographic material available on the chipset with an [Azure Certificate Service](/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/component-updates/tpm-key-attestation). + +4. This information is then sent to the attestation service in the cloud to verify that the device is safe. Microsoft Endpoint Manger (MEM) integrates with Microsoft Azure Attestation to review device health comprehensively and connect this information with AAD conditional access. This integration is key for Zero Trust solutions that help bind trust to an untrusted device. + +5. The attestation service does the following: + + - Verify the integrity of the evidence. This is done by validating the PCRs that match the values recomputed by replaying the TCG log. + - Verify that the TPM has a valid Attestation Identity Key issued by the authenticated TPM. + - Verify that the security features are in the expected states. + +6. The attestation service returns an attestation report that contains information about the security features based on the policy configured in the attestation service. + +7.
