## Use PowerShell cmdlets and WMI to configure exclusion lists
|
||||
|
||||
Excluding and reviewing file extensions, paths and files (including processes), and files opened by processes with PowerShell requires using a combination of four cmdlets and the appropriate exclusion list parameter. The cmdlets are all in the [Defender module](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/powershell/windows/defender/defender).
|
||||
|
||||
There are three exclusion lists:
|
||||
- ExclusionExtension
|
||||
- ExclusionPath
|
||||
- ExclusionProcess
|
||||
|
||||
You can modify each of the lists with the following cmdlets:
|
||||
- Set-MpPreference to create or overwrite the defined list
|
||||
- Add-MpPreference to add new items to the defined list
|
||||
- Remove-MpPreference to remove or delete items from the defined list
|
||||
- Get-MpPreference to review the items in the list, either all at once with all other Windows Defender AV settings, or individually for each of the lists
|
||||
|
||||
>[!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
>If you have created a list, either with `Set-MpPreference` or `Add-MpPreference`, using the `Set-MpPreference` cmdlet again will overwrite the existing list.
|
||||
|
||||
The following matrix provides sample commands based on what you want to exclude, and whether you want to create a list, add to the list, or remove items from the list.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr><th>Configuration action</th><th>Type of exclusion</th><th>PowerShell command</th></tr>

|

|

### Review the exclusion lists with PowerShell
|
||||
|
||||
You can retrieve the items in any of the lists in two ways:
|
||||
- Retrieve the status of all Windows Defender AV preferences. Each of the three lists will be displayed on separate lines, but the items within the list will be combined into the same line.
|
||||
- Write the status of all preferences to a variable, and only call the specific list you are interested in. Each use of `Add-MpPreference` is written to a new line.
|
||||
|
||||
In both instances the items are sorted alphabetically.
|
||||
|
||||
The following sequence of code examples helps to show how this works.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an example list of extensions that should be excluded from scans:
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
PS C:\> Set-MpPreference -ExclusionExtension ".test1, .test2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add some additional extensions:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
PS C:\> Add-MpPreference -ExclusionExtension ".test40, test50"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Add another set of extensions:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
PS C:\> Add-MpPreference -ExclusionExtension ".secondadd1, .secondadd2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Review the list as a combined list:
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
PS C:\> Get-MpPreference
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Use a variable to store and retrieve only the exclusions list:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
PS C:\> $WDAVprefs = Get-MpPreference
|
||||
PS C:\> $WDAVprefs.ExclusionExtension
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
See [Use PowerShell cmdlets to configure and run Windows Defender Antivirus](use-powershell-cmdlets-windows-defender-antivirus.md) and [Defender cmdlets](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/powershell/windows/defender/index) for more information on how to use PowerShell with Windows Defender Antivirus.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Windows Management Instruction (WMI) to configure file extension exclusions
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [ **Set**, **Add**, and **Remove** methods of the **MSFT_MpPreference**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn455323(v=vs.85).aspx) class for the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```WMI
|
||||
ExclusionExtension
|
||||
ExclusionPath
|
||||
ExclusionProcess
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The use of **Set**, **Add**, and **Remove** are analogous to their counterparts in PowerShell: `Set-MpPreference`, `Add-MpPreference`, and `Remove-MpPreference`.
|
||||
|
||||
See the following for more information and allowed parameters:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<a id="man-tools"></a>
|
||||
## Use System Center Configuration Manager, Intune, or the Windows Defender Security Center app to configure exclusion lists
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Configuration Manager to configure file extension exclusions:**
|
||||
|
||||
See [How to create and deploy antimalware policies: Exclusion settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/protect/deploy-use/endpoint-antimalware-policies#exclusion-settings) for details on configuring System Center Configuration Manager (current branch).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Microsoft Intune to configure file extension exclusions:**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
See [Help secure Windows PCs with Endpoint Protection for Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/deploy-use/help-secure-windows-pcs-with-endpoint-protection-for-microsoft-intune) and [Windows Defender policy settings in Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/deploy-use/windows-10-policy-settings-in-microsoft-intune#windows-defender-1) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Use the Windows Defender Security app to add exclusions to Windows Defender AV:**
|
||||
|
||||
See [Add exclusions in the Windows Defender Security Center app](windows-defender-security-center-antivirus.md#exclusions) for instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure auto exclusions lists for Windows Server deployments
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Windows Defender AV to protect Windows Server endpoints or machines, you are [automatically enrolled in certain exclusions](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/windows-defender/automatic-exclusions-for-windows-defender), as defined by your specified Server role.
|
||||
If you are using Windows Defender AV to protect Windows Server endpoints or machines, you are [automatically enrolled in certain exclusions](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/windows-defender/automatic-exclusions-for-windows-defender), as defined by your specified Windows Server Role.
|
||||
|
||||
These exclusions will not appear in the standard exclusion lists shown in the [Windows Defender Security Center app](windows-defender-security-center-antivirus.md#exclusions).
|
||||
|
||||
You can also [add custom exclusions to the auto exclusions with PowerShell](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/windows-defender/windows-defender-overview-windows-server#BKMK_DefExclusions).
|
||||
Exclusions | Turn off Auto Exclusions |
|
||||
You can still add or remove custom exclusions (in addition to the Server Role-defined auto exclusions) as described in the other sections in this topic.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also disable the auto-exclusions lists with Group Policy, PowerShell cmdlets, and WMI.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Group Policy to disable the auto-exclusions list on Windows Server 2016:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. On your Group Policy management machine, open the [Group Policy Management Console](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731212.aspx), right-click the Group Policy Object you want to configure and click **Edit**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. In the **Group Policy Management Editor** go to **Computer configuration**.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **Policies** then **Administrative templates**.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Expand the tree to **Windows components > Windows Defender Antivirus > Exclusions**.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Double-click the **Turn off Auto Exclusions** setting and set the option to **Enabled**. Click **OK**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use PowerShell cmdlets to disable the auto-exclusions list on Windows Server 2016:**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the following cmdlets:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
Set-MpPreference -DisableAutoExclusions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [Use PowerShell cmdlets to configure and run Windows Defender Antivirus](use-powershell-cmdlets-windows-defender-antivirus.md) and [Defender cmdlets](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/powershell/windows/defender/index) for more information on how to use PowerShell with Windows Defender Antivirus.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Windows Management Instruction (WMI) to disable the auto-exclusions list on Windows Server 2016:**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [**Set** method of the **MSFT_MpPreference**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn455323(v=vs.85).aspx) class for the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```WMI
|
||||
DisableAutoExclusions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the following for more information and allowed parameters:
|
||||
- [Windows Defender WMIv2 APIs](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn439477(v=vs.85).aspx)
|
||||
|
||||
## Use wildcards in exclusion lists
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the asterisk **\***, question mark **?**, or environment variables (such as %APPDATA%) as wildcards when defining items in the exclusion lists.
|
||||
|

|
||||
## Validate exclusions lists with the EICAR test file
|
||||
|
||||
You can validate that your exclusion lists are working by using PowerShell with either the `Invoke-WebRequest` cmdlet or the .NET WebClient class to download a test file.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following PowerShell snippet, replace *test.txt* with a file that conforms to your exclusion rules. For example, if you have excluded the .testing extension, replace *test.txt* with *test.testing*. If you are testing a path, ensure you run the cmdlet within that path.
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
Invoke-WebRequest "http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt" -OutFile "test.txt"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If Windows Defender AV reports malware, then the rule is not working. If there is no report of malware, and the downloaded file exists, then the exclusion is working. You can open the file to confirm the contents are the same as what is described on the [EICAR testfile website](http://www.eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.html).
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the following PowerShell code, which calls the .NET WebClient class to download the testfile - as with the `Invoke-WebRequest` cmdlet, replace *c:\test.txt* with a file that conforms to the rule you are validating:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
|
||||
$client.DownloadFile("http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt","c:\test.txt")
|
||||
```

# Interactive logon: Don't display username at sign-in
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
- Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
Describes the best practices, location, values, and security considerations for the **Interactive logon: Don't display username at sign-in** security policy setting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference
|
||||
|
||||
A new policy setting has been introduced in Windows 10 starting with Windows 10 version 1703. This security policy setting determines whether the username is displayed during sign in. This setting only affects the **Other user** tile.
|
||||
|
||||
If the policy is enabled and a user signs in as **Other user**, the full name of the user is not displayed during sign-in. In the same context, if users type their email address and password at the sign in screen and press **Enter**, the displayed text “Other user” remains unchanged, and is no longer replaced by the user’s first and last name, as in previous versions of Windows 10. Additionally,if users enter their domain user name and password and click **Submit**, their full name is not shown until the Start screen displays.
|
||||
|
||||
If the policy is disabled and a user signs in as **Other user**, the “Other user” text is replaced by the user’s first and last name during sign-in.
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible values
|
||||
|
||||
- Enabled
|
||||
- Disabled
|
||||
- Not defined
|
||||
|
||||
### Best practices
|
||||
|
||||
Your implementation of this policy depends on your security requirements for displayed logon information. If you have devices that store sensitive data, with monitors displayed in unsecured locations, or if you have devices with sensitive data that are remotely accessed, revealing logged on user’s full names or domain account names might contradict your overall security policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Location
|
||||
|
||||
Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Security Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Default values
|
||||
|
||||
| Server type or Group Policy object (GPO) | Default value|
|
||||
| - | - |
|
||||
| Default domain policy| Not defined|
|
||||
| Default domain controller policy| Not defined|
|
||||
| Stand-alone server default settings | Not defined|
|
||||
| Domain controller effective default settings | Not defined|
|
||||
| Member server effective default settings | Not defined|
|
||||
| Effective GPO default settings on client computers | Not defined|
|
||||
|
||||
## Policy management
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes features and tools that are available to help you manage this policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Restart requirement
|
||||
|
||||
None. Changes to this policy become effective without a device restart when they are saved locally or distributed through Group Policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Policy conflict considerations
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group Policy
|
||||
|
||||
This policy setting can be configured by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to be distributed through Group Policy Objects (GPOs). If this policy is not contained in a distributed GPO, this policy can be configured on the local computer by using the Local Security Policy snap-in.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security considerations
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vulnerability
|
||||
|
||||
An attacker with access to the console (for example, someone with physical access or someone who can connect to the device through Remote Desktop Session Host) could view the name of the last user who logged on. The attacker could then try to guess the password, use a dictionary, or use a brute-force attack to try to log on.
|
||||
|
||||
### Countermeasure
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the **Interactive logon: Don't display user name at sign-in** setting.
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential impact
|
||||
|
||||
Users must always type their usernames and passwords when they log on locally or to the domain. The logon tiles of all logged on users are not displayed.

Windows Defender Antivirus is available on Windows Server 2016. In some instances it is referred to as Endpoint Protection - however, the protection engine is the same.
|

See [Windows Defender Overview for Windows Server](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/security/windows-defender/windows-defender-overview-windows-server) for more information on enabling the client interface and configuring roles and specific server features.
|
||||
|
||||
While the functionality, configuration, and management is largely the same for Windows Defender AV either on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, there are a few key differences:
|
||||
|
||||
- In Windows Server 2016, [automatic exclusions](configure-exclusions-windows-defender-antivirus.md) are applied based on your defined Server Role.
|
||||
- In Windows Server 2016, [Windows Defender AV will not disable itself if you are running another antivirus product](windows-defender-antivirus-on-windows-server-2016.md#sysreq).
