TopicDescription

[ACT Tools, Packages, and Services](act-tools-packages-and-services.md)

The Application Compatibility Toolkit is included with the Windows ADK. [Download the Windows ADK.](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740)

[ACT Deployment Options](act-deployment-options.md)

While planning your deployment of the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT), consider which computers you want running the various tools, packages, and services for ACT.

[ACT Database Configuration](act-database-configuration.md)

The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) uses a Microsoft® SQL Server® database for storing and sharing compatibility issue data. If you do not use Microsoft SQL Server, you can download and install Microsoft SQL Server Express. For information about creating Microsoft SQL Server databases, see [Administering the Database Engine](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=64169).

[ACT Database Migration](act-database-migration.md)

The schema for an ACT database can change when ACT is updated or when a new version of ACT is released. If the schema for an ACT database does not match the current schema, you can migrate the compatibility data to a new database. You can then use the current version of ACT to open the new database.

[ACT LPS Share Permissions](act-lps-share-permissions.md)

To upload log files to the ACT Log Processing Service (LPS) share, certain permissions must be set at the share level and folder level.

AdvantagesDisadvantages
    -

  • Supports a large number of servers in a limited amount of physical space. You can run as many virtual servers as the physical computer’s resources allow.

    • -

  • Easily shares your test environment between teams. For example, your test team can create a virtualized test environment and then provide a copy to your development team for use in its development processes.

    • -

  • Supports multiple users performing simultaneous testing, mimicking the ability for each user to have a dedicated test environment.

    • -

  • Easily restores your environment to a previous state. For example, you can revert to a previous state by using the Undo Disks option.

    • -
    -

  • May reduce performance. Virtualized servers may be slower than their physical counterparts. The performance of virtualized servers is reduced because physical resources such as disks are virtualized.

    • -

  • May not support all applications and device drivers. Some hardware-specific device drivers and applications are not supported in virtualized servers.

This information includes the memory capacity, the processor speed, and the processor architecture. - -- **Device inventory.** Information about the devices that are installed on the client computer. This information includes the model, the manufacturer, and the device class. - -- **Software inventory.** An inventory of the applications that are installed on the computer.

However, remember that deploying inventory-collector packages to all computers in your organization will require the additional work of analyzing and reducing a larger list of applications.

In this environment, you can discover the full inventory by deploying inventory-collector packages to a limited subset of computers. - -In an unmanaged environment, users have administrator permissions and can install applications at their own discretion. To obtain the full inventory, you must deploy your inventory-collector packages to more computers. - -## Role-Based Applications - - -Your organization may use role-based applications that relate to job function. For example, accountants may use finance-related applications. Reviewing application use together with job function helps you better identify which subsets of computers need inventory-collector packages. - -## Software Distribution - - -You can distribute applications in various ways within an organization. For example, you can use Group Policy, Microsoft® IntelliMirror®, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, or a customized distribution method. Reviewing the policies for your software distribution system helps you better identify which subsets of computers need inventory-collector packages. - -## Geographic Distribution - - -While you plan for inventory collection, consider the geographic distribution of your organization, and consider application use within each region. Be sure to account for divisional applications, localized applications, and applications that are specific to the geographic location and export restrictions. Consult with technical and business leaders from each region to understand the differences and determine which subsets of computers need inventory-collector packages. - -## Computer Types - - -Computer types can be an important factor in the deployment of inventory-collector packages. The following sections describe common computer types. - -### Mobile Computers - -Mobile users are frequently offline, occasionally synchronizing with the corporate network through a LAN or VPN connection. The user must be online for the inventory-collector package to be downloaded and installed, and must be online again for the logged data to be uploaded. - -### Multiuser Computers - -Multiuser computers are typically in university computer labs, libraries, and organizations that enable job sharing. These computers include a core set of applications that are always available, in addition to many applications that can be installed and removed as necessary. Because these computers typically have a core set of applications, you can identify a narrow subset of computers to receive the inventory-collector package. - -### AppStations and TaskStations - -AppStations that run vertical applications are typically for marketing, claims and loan processing, and customer service. TaskStations are typically dedicated to running a single application in a location such as a manufacturing floor (as an entry terminal) or a call center. Because AppStations and TaskStations do not typically enable users to add or remove applications, you can identify a narrow subset of computers to receive the inventory-collector package. - -### Kiosks - -Kiosks are generally in public areas. These computers run unattended. They also generally run a single application by using a single-use account and automatic logon. Because these computers typically run a single application, you can identify a narrow subset of computers to receive the inventory-collector package. - -## Related topics - - -[Creating an Inventory-Collector Package](creating-an-inventory-collector-package.md) - -[Deploying an Inventory-Collector Package](deploying-an-inventory-collector-package.md) - -  - -  - - - - - +description: To generate a complete inventory and obtain a comprehensive view of your organization, inventory all computers.

Administrators at a central location must then move the log files to a central location and map the files to the ACT LPS share for processing and entry into the ACT database. - -## Related topics - - -[Exporting a Data-Collection Package](exporting-a-data-collection-package.md) - -[Deleting a Data-Collection Package](deleting-a-data-collection-package.md) - -[Labeling Data in ACM](labeling-data-in-acm.md) - -  - -  - - - - - +description: Selecting the output for your data-collection package log files. +redirect_url: https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-analytics +--- \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/windows/plan/managing-application-compatibility-fixes-and-custom-fix-databases.md b/windows/plan/managing-application-compatibility-fixes-and-custom-fix-databases.md index 7c8a961d1d..a654054608 100644 --- a/windows/plan/managing-application-compatibility-fixes-and-custom-fix-databases.md +++ b/windows/plan/managing-application-compatibility-fixes-and-custom-fix-databases.md @@ -56,17 +56,6 @@ This section provides information about managing your application-compatibility   ## Related topics - - [Compatibility Administrator User's Guide](compatibility-administrator-users-guide.md) -[Using the Compatibility Administrator Tool](using-the-compatibility-administrator-tool.md) - -  - -  - - - - - +[Using the Compatibility Administrator Tool](using-the-compatibility-administrator-tool.md) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/windows/plan/managing-your-data-collection-packages.md b/windows/plan/managing-your-data-collection-packages.md index 46eaa26130..03cbe4849d 100644 --- a/windows/plan/managing-your-data-collection-packages.md +++ b/windows/plan/managing-your-data-collection-packages.md @@ -1,80 +1,5 @@ --- title: Managing Your Data-Collection Packages (Windows 10) description: This section provides information about using Application Compatibility Manager (ACM) to manage your data-collection packages. -ms.assetid: 369ae82f-c8ca-42ec-85df-1b760a74e70a -ms.prod: w10 -ms.mktglfcycl: plan -ms.pagetype: appcompat -ms.sitesec: library -author: TrudyHa ---- - -# Managing Your Data-Collection Packages - - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 8.1 -- Windows 8 -- Windows 7 -- Windows Server 2012 -- Windows Server 2008 R2 - -This section provides information about using Application Compatibility Manager (ACM) to manage your data-collection packages.

    [Log File Locations for Data-Collection Packages](log-file-locations-for-data-collection-packages.md)

    When you create a data-collection package in Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), you can select an output location for your log files. You have the following options:

    [Exporting a Data-Collection Package](exporting-a-data-collection-package.md)

    In Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), you can export a data-collection package as a Windows installer (.msi) file. You can then use the .msi file to install the data-collection package on the computers from which you want to gather data.

    [Deleting a Data-Collection Package](deleting-a-data-collection-package.md)

    In Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), you can delete any of your existing data-collection packages from the database.

    [Labeling Data in ACM](labeling-data-in-acm.md)

    Application data and its associated compatibility issues can vary within an organization. For example, the applications used by a Human Resources (HR) department might differ from the applications used by a Sales department. Even for applications that are used across an organization, different compatibility issues might be found for each business group because of the unique application use by each business group.

    [Deciding Which Applications to Test](deciding-which-applications-to-test.md)

    Before starting your compatibility testing on the version of Windows that you want to deploy, you can use the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) to identify which applications should be the focus of your testing.

    [Creating an Enterprise Environment for Compatibility Testing](creating-an-enterprise-environment-for-compatibility-testing.md)

    The goal of the test environment is to model the operating system that you want to deploy and assess compatibility before deploying the operating system to your production environment. Your test environment is composed of computers on which the new operating system is installed. Your test environment can be a long-term investment. Consider retaining the test environment after deployment to assist in future deployment projects.

    [Creating a Runtime-Analysis Package](creating-a-runtime-analysis-package.md)

    In Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), you can create runtime-analysis packages, which you can then deploy to computers for compatibility testing in your test environment.

    RequirementDescription

    Windows 10 Enterprise

    The PC must be running Windows 10 Enterprise.

    UEFI firmware version 2.3.1 or higher and Secure Boot

    To verify that the firmware is using UEFI version 2.3.1 or higher and Secure Boot, you can validate it against the [System.Fundamentals.Firmware.CS.UEFISecureBoot.ConnectedStandby](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn932807.aspx#system-fundamentals-firmware-cs-uefisecureboot-connectedstandby) Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requirement.

    Virtualization extensions

    The following virtualization extensions are required to support virtualization-based security:

    -
      -
    • Intel VT-x or AMD-V
      • -
    • Second Level Address Translation
      • -

    Firmware lock

    The firmware setup should be locked to prevent other operating systems from starting and to prevent changes to the UEFI settings. You should also disable boot methods other than from the hard drive.

    x64 architecture

    The features that virtualization-based security uses in the Windows hypervisor can only run on a 64-bit PC.

    A VT-d or AMD-Vi IOMMU (Input/output memory management unit)

    In Windows 10, an IOMMU enhances system resiliency against memory attacks. ¹

    Secure firmware update process

    To verify that the firmware complies with the secure firmware update process, you can validate it against the [System.Fundamentals.Firmware.UEFISecureBoot](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn932805.aspx#system-fundamentals-firmware-uefisecureboot) Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requirement.

    Device Guard relies on the security of the underlying hardware and firmware. It is critical to keep the firmware updated with the latest security fixes.

    -  -## Before using Device Guard in your company -Before you can successfully use Device Guard, you must set up your environment and your policies. -### Signing your apps -Device Guard mode supports both UWP apps and Classic Windows applications. Trust between Device Guard and your apps happen when your apps are signed using a signature that you determine to be trustworthy. Not just any signature will work. -This signing can happen by: -- **Using the Windows Store publishing process.** All apps that come out of the Microsoft Store are automatically signed with special signatures that can roll-up to our certificate authority (CA) or to your own. -- **Using your own digital certificate or public key infrastructure (PKI).** ISV's and enterprises can sign their own Classic Windows applications themselves, adding themselves to the trusted list of signers. -- **Using a non-Microsoft signing authority.** ISV's and enterprises can use a trusted non-Microsoft signing authority to sign all of their own Classic Windows applications. -- **Use the Device Guard signing portal**. Available in the Windows Store for Business, you can use a Microsoft web service to sign your Classic Windows applications. For more info, see [Device Guard signing](../manage/device-guard-signing-portal.md). -### Code Integrity policy -Before you can use the app protection included in Device Guard, you must create a Code Integrity policy using tools provided by Microsoft, but deployed using your current management tools, like Group Policy. The Code Integrity policy is a binary-encoded XML document that includes configuration settings for both the User and Kernel-modes of Windows 10 Enterprise, along with restrictions on Windows 10 script hosts. This policy restricts what code can run on a device. -For the Device Guard feature, devices should only have Code Integrity pre-configured if the settings are provided by a customer for a customer-provided image. -**Note**  This XML document can be signed in Windows 10 Enterprise, helping to add additional protection against administrative users changing or removing this policy. -  -### Virtualization-based security using Windows 10 Enterprise Hypervisor -Windows 10 Enterprise Hypervisor introduces new capabilities around virtual trust levels, which helps Windows 10 Enterprise services to run in a protected environment, in isolation from the running operating system. Windows 10 Enterprise virtualization-based security helps protect kernel code integrity and helps to provide credential isolation for the local security authority (LSA). Letting the Kernel Code Integrity service run as a hypervisor-hosted service increases the level of protection around the root operating system, adding additional protections against any malware that compromises the kernel layer. -**Important**  Device Guard devices that run Kernel Code Integrity with virtualization-based security must have compatible drivers - legacy drivers can be updated - and have all virtualization capabilities turned on.

For example, when an employee sends the latest engineering pictures from their personal email account, copies and pastes product info into a tweet, or saves an in-progress sales report to their public cloud storage. -Many of the existing solutions try to address this issue by requiring employees to switch between personal and work containers and apps, which can lead to a less than optimal user experience. The feature code-named enterprise data protection (EDP) offers a better user experience, while helping to better separate and protect enterprise apps and data against disclosure risks across both company and personal devices, without requiring changes in environments or apps. Additionally, EDP when used with Rights Management Services (RMS), can help to protect your enterprise data locally, persisting the protection even when your data roams or is shared. +Enterprise data protection (EDP) helps to protect against this potential data leakage without otherwise interfering with the employee experience. EDP also helps to protect enterprise apps and data against accidental data leak on enterprise-owned devices and personal devices that employees bring to work without requiring changes to your environment or other apps. ## Benefits of EDP EDP provides: -- Additional protection against enterprise data leakage, with minimal impact on employees’ regular work practices. -- Obvious separation between personal and corporate data, without requiring employees to switch environments or apps. -- Additional data protection for existing line-of-business apps without a need to update the apps. -- Ability to wipe corporate data from devices while leaving personal data alone. -- Use of audit reports for tracking issues and remedial actions. -- Integration with your existing management system (Microsoft Intune, System Center Configuration Manager (version 1511 or later)’, or your current mobile device management (MDM) system) to configure, deploy, and manage EDP for your company. -- Additional protection for your data (through RMS integration) while roaming and sharing, like when you share encrypted content through Outlook or move encrypted files to USB keys. -- Ability to manage Office universal apps on Windows 10 devices using an MDM solution to help protect corporate data. To manage Office mobile apps for Android and iOS devices, see technical resources [here]( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526490). +- Obvious separation between personal and corporate data, without requiring employees to switch environments or apps. + +- Additional data protection for existing line-of-business apps without a need to update the apps. + +- Ability to wipe corporate data from devices while leaving personal data alone. + +- Use of audit reports for tracking issues and remedial actions. + +- Integration with your existing management system (Microsoft Intune, System Center Configuration Manager (version 1511 or later), or your current mobile device management (MDM) system) to configure, deploy, and manage EDP for your company. ## Enterprise scenarios - EDP currently addresses these enterprise scenarios: -- You can encrypt enterprise data on employee-owned and corporate-owned devices. -- You can remotely wipe enterprise data off managed computers, including employee-owned computers, without affecting the personal data. -- You can select specific apps that can access enterprise data, called "protected apps" that are clearly recognizable to employees. You can also block non-protected apps from accessing enterprise data. -- Your employees won't have their work otherwise interrupted while switching between personal and enterprise apps while the enterprise policies are in place. Switching environments or signing in multiple times isn’t required. +- You can encrypt enterprise data on employee-owned and corporate-owned devices. -### Enterprise data security +- You can remotely wipe enterprise data off managed computers, including employee-owned computers, without affecting the personal data. -As an enterprise admin, you need to maintain the security and confidentiality of your corporate data. Using EDP you can help ensure that your corporate data is protected on your employee-owned computers, even when the employee isn’t actively using it. In this case, when the employee initially creates the content on a managed device he’s asked whether it’s a work document. If it's a work document, it becomes locally-protected as enterprise data. +- You can select specific apps that can access enterprise data, called "allowed apps" that are clearly recognizable to employees. You can also block non-protected apps from accessing enterprise data. -### Persistent data encryption +- Your employees won't have their work otherwise interrupted while switching between personal and enterprise apps while the enterprise policies are in place. Switching environments or signing in multiple times isn’t required. -EDP helps keep your enterprise data protected, even when it roams. Apps like Office and OneNote work with EDP to persist your data encryption across locations and services. For example, if an employee opens EDP-encrypted content from Outlook, edits it, and then tries to save the edited version with a different name to remove the encryption, it won’t work. Outlook automatically applies EDP to the new document, keeping the data encryption in place. +## Why use EDP? +EDP gives you a new way to manage data policy enforcement for apps and documents, along with the ability to remove access to enterprise data from both enterprise and personal devices (after enrollment in an enterprise management solution, like Intune). -### Remotely wiping devices of enterprise data -EDP also offers the ability to remotely wipe your corporate data from all devices managed by you and used by an employee, while leaving personal data alone. This is a benefit when an employee leaves your company, or in the case of a stolen computer. -In this case, documents are stored locally, and encrypted with an enterprise identity. When you verify that you have to wipe the device, you can send a remote wipe command through your mobile device management system so when the device connects to the network, the encryption keys are revoked and the enterprise data is removed. This action only affects devices that have been targeted by the command. All other devices will continue to work normally. +- **Change the way you think about data policy enforcement.** As an enterprise admin, you need to maintain compliance in your data policy and data access. EDP helps make sure that your enterprise data is protected on both corporate and employee-owned devices, even when the employee isn’t using the device. When employees create content on an enterprise-protected device, they can choose to save it as a work document. If it's a work document, it becomes locally-maintained as enterprise data. -### Protected apps and restrictions +- **Manage your enterprise documents, apps, and encryption modes.** -Using EDP you can control the set of apps that are made "protected apps", or apps that can access and use your enterprise data. After you add an app to your **Protected App** list, it’s trusted to use enterprise data. All apps not on this list are treated as personal and are potentially blocked from accessing your corporate data, depending on your EDP protection-mode. -As a note, your existing line-of-business apps don’t have to change to be included as protected apps. You simply have to include them in your list. + - **Copying or downloading enterprise data.** When an employee or an app downloads content from a location like SharePoint, a network share, or an enterprise web location, while using an EDP-protected device, EDP encrypts the data on the device. -### Great employee experiences + - **Using allowed apps.** Managed apps (apps that you've included on the allowed apps list in your EDP policy) are allowed to access your enterprise data and will interact differently when used with unallowed, non-enterprise aware, or personal-only apps. For example, if EDP management is set to **Block**, your employees can copy and paste from one protected app to another protected app, but not to personal apps. Imagine an HR person wants to copy a job description from a protected app to the internal career website, an enterprise-protected location, but goofs and tries to paste into a personal app instead. The paste action fails and a notification pops up, saying that the app couldn’t paste because of a policy restriction. The HR person then correctly pastes to the career website without a problem. -EDP can offer a great user experience by not requiring employees to switch between apps to protect corporate data. For example, while checking work emails in Microsoft Outlook, an employee gets a personal message. Instead of having to leave Outlook, both the work and personal messages appear on the screen, side-by-side. + - **Managed apps and restrictions.** With EDP you can control which apps can access and use your enterprise data. After adding an app to your protected apps list, the app is trusted with enterprise data. All apps not on this list are blocked from accessing your enterprise data, depending on your EDP management-mode. + + You don’t have to modify line-of-business apps that never touch personal data to list them as protected apps; just include them in your protected apps list. -#### Using protected apps + - **Deciding your level of data access.** EDP lets you block, allow overrides, or audit employees' data sharing actions. Blocking the action stops it immediately. Allowing overrides let the employee know there's a risk, but lets him or her continue to share the data while recording and auditing the action. Silent just logs the action without blocking anything that the employee could've overridden while using that setting; collecting info that can help you to see patterns of inappropriate sharing so you can take educative action or find apps that should be added to your protected apps list. -Protected apps are allowed to access your enterprise data and will react differently with other non-protected or personal apps. For example, if your EDP-protection mode is set to block, your protected apps will let the employee copy and paste information between other protected apps, but not with personal apps. Imagine an HR person wants to copy a job description from a protected app to an internal career website, an enterprise-protected location, but goofs and tries to paste into a personal app instead. The paste action fails and a notification pops up, saying that it couldn’t paste because of a policy restriction. The HR person then correctly pastes to the career website and it works without a problem. + - **Data encryption at rest.** EDP helps protect enterprise data on local files and on removable media. + + Apps such as Microsoft Word work with EDP to help continue your data protection across local files and removable media. These apps are being referred to as, enterprise aware. For example, if an employee opens EDP-encrypted content from Word, edits the content, and then tries to save the edited version with a different name, Word automatically applies EDP to the new document. -#### Copying or downloading enterprise data + - **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to public spaces.** EDP helps protect your enterprise data from being accidentally shared to public spaces, such as public cloud storage. For example, if Dropbox™ isn’t on your protected apps list, employees won’t be able to sync encrypted files to their personal cloud storage. Instead, if the employee stores the content to an app on your protected apps list, like Microsoft OneDrive for Business, the encrypted files can sync freely to the business cloud, while maintaining the encryption locally. -Downloading content from a location like SharePoint or a network file share, or an enterprise web location, such as Office365.com automatically determines that the content is enterprise data and is encrypted as such, while it’s stored locally. The same applies to copying enterprise data to something like a USB drive. Because the content is already marked as enterprise data locally, the encryption is persisted on the new device. + - **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to removable media.** EDP helps prevent enterprise data from leaking when it's copied or transferred to removable media. For example, if an employee puts enterprise data on a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive that also has personal data, the enterprise data remains encrypted while the personal data doesn’t. -#### Changing the EDP protection - -Employees can change enterprise data protected documents back to personal if the document is wrongly marked as enterprise. However, this requires the employee to take an action and is audited and logged for you to review - -### Deciding your level of data access - -EDP lets you decide to block, allow overrides, or silently audit your employee's data sharing actions. Blocking the action stops it immediately, while allowing overrides let the employee know there's a problem, but lets the employee continue to share the info, and silent just logs the action without stopping it, letting you start to see patterns of inappropriate sharing so you can take educative action. - -### Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to public spaces - -EDP helps protect your enterprise data from being shared to public spaces, like the public cloud, accidentally. For example, if an employee stores content in the **Documents** folder, which is automatically synched with OneDrive (an app on your Protected Apps list), then the document is encrypted locally and not synched it to the user’s personal cloud. Likewise, if other synching apps, like Dropbox™, aren’t on the Protected Apps list, they also won’t be able to sync encrypted files to the user’s personal cloud. - -### Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to other devices - -EDP helps protect your enterprise data from leaking to other devices while transferring or moving between them. For example, if an employee puts corporate data on a USB key that also includes personal data, the corporate data remains encrypted even though the personal information remains open. Additionally, the encryption continues when the employee copies the encrypted content back to another corporate-managed device. + - **Remove access to enterprise data from enterprise-protected devices.** EDP gives admins the ability to revoke enterprise data from one or many MDM-enrolled devices, while leaving personal data alone. This is a benefit when an employee leaves your company, or in the case of a stolen device. After determining that the data access needs to be removed, you can unenroll the device so when it connects to the network, the user's encryption key for the device is revoked and the enterprise data becomes unreadable. ## Turn off EDP diff --git a/windows/whats-new/security-auditing.md b/windows/whats-new/security-auditing.md index 15350dc9c4..13c6a7e5b8 100644 --- a/windows/whats-new/security-auditing.md +++ b/windows/whats-new/security-auditing.md @@ -10,9 +10,11 @@ ms.pagetype: security, mobile --- # What's new in security auditing? + **Applies to** - Windows 10 - Windows 10 Mobile +- Windows Server 2016 Security auditing is one of the most powerful tools that you can use to maintain the integrity of your system.
