 # Configure Microsoft Defender Application Guard policy settings
 
+[!INCLUDE [mdag-edge-deprecation-notice](../../../includes/mdag-edge-deprecation-notice.md)]

 Microsoft Defender Application Guard (Application Guard) works with Group Policy to help you manage your organization's computer settings. By using Group Policy, you can configure a setting once, and then copy it onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a Group Policy Object, which is linked to a domain, and then apply all those settings to every endpoint in the domain.
 
 Application Guard uses both network isolation and application-specific settings.
