-Scripting hosts can be used to deploy AppId tagging policies as well. This approach is often best suited for local deployment, but works for deployment to managed endpoints and users too. For more information on how to deploy WDAC AppId tagging policies via scripting, see [Deploy WDAC policies using script](../deployment/deploy-wdac-policies-with-script.md). For AppId tagging policies, the only applicable method is deploying to version 1903 or later.

The options for rule enforcement are **Not configured**, **Enforce rules**, or **Audit only**. Together, all AppLocker rule collections compose the application control policy, or AppLocker policy. By default, if enforcement isn't configured and rules are present in a rule collection, those rules are enforced.

 Using the **Audit only** enforcement method permits you to view the logs because it collects information about every process on the computers receiving the Group Policy Object (GPO). Therefore, you can evaluate the possible effects of enforcement on computers in a business group. AppLocker includes Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to analyze the events from the event log and cmdlets to create rules. However, when you use Group Policy to deploy to several computers, a means to collect events in a central location is important for manageability. Because AppLocker logs information about files that users or other processes start on a computer, you could miss creating some rules initially. Therefore, you should continue your evaluation until you can verify that all required applications that are allowed to run are accessed successfully.
