- question: How does Microsoft Connected Cache populate its content?
answer: Microsoft Connected Cache is a cold cache warmed by client requests. The client requests content and that is what fills up the cache. There's no off-peak cache fill necessary. Microsoft Connected Cache will reach out to different CDN providers just like a client device would. The traffic flow from Microsoft Connected Cache will vary depending on how you currently transit to each of these CDN providers. The content can come from third party CDNs or from AFD.

You'll also not be charged above the 8k message limit, so you don't need to worry at all about getting a paid plan. MCC will always be a free service. So if functionality isn't impacted, what is? Instead, messages about the configuration or edge deployment would be impacted. This means that if there was a request to update your MCC and the daily quota was reached, your MCC might not update.

-### Cache performance
-
-To make sure you're maximizing the performance of your cache node, review the following information:
-
-#### OS requirements
-
-The Microsoft Connected Cache module is optimized for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a physical server or VM of your choice.
-
-#### NIC requirements
-
-- Multiple NICs on a single MCC instance are supported using a *link aggregated* configuration.
-- 10 Gbps NIC is the minimum speed recommended, but any NIC is supported.
-
-#### Drive performance
-
-The maximum number of disks supported is 9. When configuring your drives, we recommend SSD drives as cache read speed of SSD is superior to HDD. In addition, using multiple disks is recommended to improve cache performance.
-
-RAID disk configurations are discouraged as cache performance will be impacted. If using RAID disk configurations, ensure striping.
-
-### Hardware configuration example
-
-There are many hardware configurations that suit Microsoft Connected Cache. As an example, a customer has deployed the following hardware configuration and is able to achieve a peak egress of about 35 Gbps:
-
-**Dell PowerEdge R330**
-
-- 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40 GHz, total 32 core
-- 48 GB, Micron Technology 18ASF1G72PDZ-2G1A1, Speed: 2133 MT/s
-- 4 - Transcend SSD230s 1 TB SATA Drives
-- Intel Corporation Ethernet 10G 2P X520 Adapter (Link Aggregated)
-
-### Virtual machines
-
-Microsoft Connected Cache supports both physical and virtual machines as cache servers. If you're using a virtual machine as your server, refer to [VM performance](mcc-isp-vm-performance.md) for tips on how to improve your VM performance.

+# Enhancing cache performance
+
+To make sure you're maximizing the performance of your cache node, review the following information:
+
+#### OS requirements
+
+The Microsoft Connected Cache module is optimized for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a physical server or VM of your choice.
+
+#### NIC requirements
+
+- Multiple NICs on a single MCC instance are supported using a *link aggregated* configuration.
+- 10 Gbps NIC is the minimum speed recommended, but any NIC is supported.
+
+#### Drive performance
+
+The maximum number of disks supported is 9. When configuring your drives, we recommend SSD drives as cache read speed of SSD is superior to HDD. In addition, using multiple disks is recommended to improve cache performance.
+
+RAID disk configurations are discouraged as cache performance will be impacted. If using RAID disk configurations, ensure striping.
+
+### Hardware configuration example
+
+There are many hardware configurations that suit Microsoft Connected Cache. As an example, a customer has deployed the following hardware configuration and is able to achieve a peak egress of about 35 Gbps:
+
+**Dell PowerEdge R330**
+
+- 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40 GHz, total 32 core
+- 48 GB, Micron Technology 18ASF1G72PDZ-2G1A1, Speed: 2133 MT/s
+- 4 - Transcend SSD230s 1 TB SATA Drives
+- Intel Corporation Ethernet 10G 2P X520 Adapter (Link Aggregated)
+
+## Enhancing virtual machine performance
In virtual environments, the cache server egress peaks at around 1.1 Gbps. If you want to maximize the egress in virtual environments, it's critical to change two settings.

For hardware that is compliant with Modern Standby and HSTI, when using either of these features, [BitLocker Device Encryption](bitlocker-device-encryption-overview-windows-10.md#bitlocker-device-encryption) is automatically turned on whenever the user joins a device to Azure AD. Azure AD provides a portal where recovery keys are also backed up, so users can retrieve their own recovery key for self-service, if necessary. For older devices that aren't yet encrypted, beginning with Windows 10 version 1703, admins can use the [BitLocker CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp/) to trigger encryption and store the recovery key in Azure AD. This process and feature is applicable to Azure Hybrid AD as well.

To bind the use of a TPM based key to a certain state of the PC, the key can be sealed to an expected set of PCR values. For instance, PCRs 0 through 7 have a well-defined value after the boot process – when the OS is loaded. When the hardware, firmware, or boot loader of the machine changes, the change can be detected in the PCR values. Windows uses this capability to make certain cryptographic keys only available at certain times during the boot process. For instance, the BitLocker key can be used at a certain point in the boot, but not before or after.
-It is important to note that this binding to PCR values also includes the hashing algorithm used for the PCR. For instance, a key can be bound to a specific value of the SHA-1 PCR\[12\], if using SHA-256 PCR banks, even with the same system configuration. Otherwise, the PCR values will not match.

## What happens when PCR banks are switched?
When the PCR banks are switched, the algorithm used to compute the hashed values stored in the PCRs during extend operations is changed. Each hash algorithm will return a different cryptographic signature for the same inputs.
-As a result, if the currently used PCR bank is switched all keys that have been bound to the previous PCR values will no longer work. For example, if you had a key bound to the SHA-1 value of PCR\[12\] and subsequently changed the PCR banks to SHA-256, the banks wouldn’t match, and you would be unable to use that key. The BitLocker key is secured using the PCR banks and Windows will not be able to unseal it if the PCR banks are switched while BitLocker is enabled.

-Configure the **User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users** to **Automatically deny elevation requests**. This setting requires the user to sign in with an administrative account to run programs that require elevation of privilege. As a security best practice, standard users shouldn't have knowledge of administrative passwords. However, if your users have both standard and administrator-level accounts, we recommend setting **Prompt for credentials** so that the users don't choose to always sign in with their administrator accounts, and they shift their behavior to use the standard user account.

+# Creating WDAC Policy Rules from WDAC Events in the Wizard
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+- Windows 11
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Some capabilities of Windows Defender Application Control are only available on specific Windows versions. Learn more about the [Windows Defender Application Control feature availability](feature-availability.md).
+
+As of [version 2.2.0.0](https://webapp-wdac-wizard.azurewebsites.net/archives.html), the WDAC Wizard supports creating WDAC policy rules from the following event log types:
+
+1. [WDAC event log events on the system](#wdac-event-viewer-log-parsing)
+2. [Exported WDAC events (EVTX files) from any system](#wdac-event-log-file-parsing)
+3. [Exported WDAC events from MDE Advanced Hunting](#mde-advanced-hunting-wdac-event-parsing)
+
+
+## WDAC Event Viewer Log Parsing
+
+To create rules from the WDAC event logs on the system:
+
+1. Select **Policy Editor** from the WDAC Wizard main page.
+2. Select **Convert Event Log to a WDAC Policy**.
+3. Select the **Parse Event Logs** button under the **Parse Event Logs from the System Event Viewer to Policy** header.
+
+ The Wizard will parse the relevant audit and block events from the CodeIntegrity (WDAC) Operational and AppLocker MSI and Script logs. You'll see a notification when the Wizard successfully finishes reading the events.
+
+ > [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+ > [](images/wdac-wizard-event-log-system-expanded.png)
+
+4. Select the Next button to view the audit and block events and create rules.
+5. [Generate rules from the events](#creating-policy-rules-from-the-events).
+
+## WDAC Event Log File Parsing
+
+To create rules from the WDAC `.EVTX` event logs files on the system:
+
+1. Select **Policy Editor** from the WDAC Wizard main page.
+2. Select **Convert Event Log to a WDAC Policy**.
+3. Select the **Parse Log File(s)** button under the **Parse Event Log evtx Files to Policy** header.
+4. Select the WDAC CodeIntegrity Event log EVTX file(s) from the disk to parse.
+
+ The Wizard will parse the relevant audit and block events from the selected log files. You'll see a notification when the Wizard successfully finishes reading the events.
+
+ > [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+ > [](images/wdac-wizard-event-log-files-expanded.png)
+
+5. Select the Next button to view the audit and block events and create rules.
+6. [Generate rules from the events](#creating-policy-rules-from-the-events).
+
+## MDE Advanced Hunting WDAC Event Parsing
+
+To create rules from the WDAC events in [MDE Advanced Hunting](querying-application-control-events-centrally-using-advanced-hunting.md):
+
+1. Navigate to the Advanced Hunting section within the MDE console and query the WDAC events. **The Wizard requires the following fields** in the Advanced Hunting csv file export:
+
+ ```KQL
+ | project Timestamp, DeviceId, DeviceName, ActionType, FileName, FolderPath, SHA1, SHA256, IssuerName, IssuerTBSHash, PublisherName, PublisherTBSHash, AuthenticodeHash, PolicyId, PolicyName
+ ```
+
+ The following Advanced Hunting query is recommended:
+
+ ```KQL
+ DeviceEvents
+ // Take only WDAC events
+ | where ActionType startswith 'AppControlCodeIntegrity'
+ // SigningInfo Fields
+ | extend IssuerName = parsejson(AdditionalFields).IssuerName
+ | extend IssuerTBSHash = parsejson(AdditionalFields).IssuerTBSHash
+ | extend PublisherName = parsejson(AdditionalFields).PublisherName
+ | extend PublisherTBSHash = parsejson(AdditionalFields).PublisherTBSHash
+ // Audit/Block Fields
+ | extend AuthenticodeHash = parsejson(AdditionalFields).AuthenticodeHash
+ | extend PolicyId = parsejson(AdditionalFields).PolicyID
+ | extend PolicyName = parsejson(AdditionalFields).PolicyName
+ // Keep only required fields for the WDAC Wizard
+ | project Timestamp,DeviceId,DeviceName,ActionType,FileName,FolderPath,SHA1,SHA256,IssuerName,IssuerTBSHash,PublisherName,PublisherTBSHash,AuthenticodeHash,PolicyId,PolicyName
+ ```
+
+2. Export the WDAC event results by selecting the **Export** button in the results view.
+
+ > [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+ > [](images/wdac-wizard-event-log-mde-ah-export-expanded.png)
+
+3. Select **Policy Editor** from the WDAC Wizard main page.
+4. Select **Convert Event Log to a WDAC Policy**.
+5. Select the **Parse Log File(s)** button under the "Parse MDE Advanced Hunting Events to Policy" header.
+6. Select the WDAC MDE Advanced Hunting export CSV files from the disk to parse.
+
+ The Wizard will parse the relevant audit and block events from the selected Advanced Hunting log files. You'll see a notification when the Wizard successfully finishes reading the events.
+
+ > [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+ > [](images/wdac-wizard-event-log-mde-ah-parsing-expanded.png)
+
+7. Select the Next button to view the audit and block events and create rules.
+8. [Generate rules from the events](#creating-policy-rules-from-the-events).
+
+## Creating Policy Rules from the Events
+
+On the "Configure Event Log Rules" page, the unique WDAC log events will be shown in the table. Event Ids, filenames, product names, the policy name that audited or blocked the file, and the file publisher are all shown in the table. The table can be sorted alphabetically by clicking on any of the headers.
+
+To create a rule and add it to the WDAC policy:
