This topic for IT professionals describes the steps to create a standard set of AppLocker rules that will allow Windows system files to run.
|
|
|
|
AppLocker includes default rules for each rule collection. These rules are intended to help ensure that the files that are required for Windows to operate properly are allowed to run.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> You can use the default rules as a template when creating your own rules to allow files within the Windows folders to run. However, these rules are only meant to function as a starter policy when you are first testing AppLocker rules. The default rules can be modified in the same way as other AppLocker rule types.
|
|
|
|
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 information how to use these MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker, see [Administer AppLocker](administer-applocker.md#bkmk-using-snapins).
|
|
|
|
**To create default rules**
|
|
|
|
1. Open the AppLocker console.
|
|
2. Right-click the appropriate rule type for which you want to automatically generate default rules. You can automatically generate rules for executable, Windows Installer, script rules and Packaged app rules.
|
|
3. Click **Create Default Rules**.
