This topic for IT professionals describes the steps to enable the AppLocker policy enforcement setting.

Note:  When AppLocker policy enforcement is set to Enforce rules, rules are enforced for the rule collection and all events are audited.

For info about how AppLocker policies are applied within a GPO structure, see Understand AppLocker rules and enforcement setting inheritance in Group Policy.

You can perform this task by using the Group Policy Management Console for an AppLocker policy in a Group Policy Object (GPO) or by using the Local Security Policy snap-in for an AppLocker policy on a local computer or in a security template. For info how to use these MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker, see Administer AppLocker.

To enable the Enforce rules enforcement setting

  1. From the AppLocker console, right-click AppLocker, and then click Properties.
  2. On the Enforcement tab of the AppLocker Properties dialog box, select the Configured check box for the rule collection that you are editing, and then verify that Enforce rules is selected.
  3. Click OK.

For info about viewing the events generated from rules enforcement, see Monitor app usage with AppLocker.
