This topic for IT professionals describes how to import an AppLocker policy.
|
|
|
|
Before completing this procedure, you should have exported an AppLocker policy. For more information, see [Export an AppLocker policy to an XML file](export-an-applocker-policy-to-an-xml-file.md).
|
|
|
|
Membership in the local **Administrators** group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
|
|
|
|
> **Caution:** Importing a policy will overwrite the existing policy on that computer.
|
|
|
|
**To import an AppLocker policy**
|
|
|
|
1. From the AppLocker console, right-click **AppLocker**, and then click **Import Policy**.
|
|
|
|
2. In the **Import Policy** dialog box, locate the file that you exported, and then click **Open**.
|
|
|
|
3. The **Import Policy** dialog box will warn you that importing a policy will overwrite the existing rules and enforcement settings. If acceptable, click **OK** to import and overwrite the policy.
|
|
|
|
4. The **AppLocker** dialog box will notify you of how many rules were overwritten and imported. Click **OK**.
