![]() Leverage medatada in the policies (version, policyID, description, etc) to keep track of which policies applied to what group of devices in production.Otherwise, we recommend using an event log forwarding solution to collect relevant events from your managed endpoints. If your organization uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you can use the Advanced Hunting feature to centrally monitor WDAC-related events.Carefully monitor events from devices where the policy has been deployed to ensure the block events you observe match your expectation before broadening the deployment to other deployment rings. All WDAC policy changes should be deployed in audit mode before proceeding to enforcement.Decide what devices you will manage with WDAC and split them into deployment rings: Test, UAT and Prod ring, so you can control the scale of the deployment and respond if anything goes wrong.Implementing application control can have unintended consequences, plan your deployment carefully. For supplemental policies, applications that are allowed by either the base policy or its supplemental policy/policies are allowed to run Supplemental Policies, users can deploy one or more supplemental policies to expand a base policy.If two base policies exist on a device, an application has to be allowed by both to run.Multiple Base Policies, users can enforce two or more base policies simultaneously in order to allow simpler policy targeting for policies with different scope/intent.Multiple Policies and Supplemental Policy.īeginning with Windows 10 version 1903, Windows server 2022, WDAC supports up to 32 active policies on a device at once. The process that launched the app or binary.The Folder or File path from which the app or file is launched (beginning with Windows 10 version 1903).The identity of the process that initiated the installation of the app and its binaries ( managed installer).The reputation of the app as determined by Microsoft's Intelligent Security Graph.Attributes of the app's binaries that come from the signed metadata for the files, such as Original Filename and version, or the hash of the file.Attributes of the codesigning certificate(s) used to sign an app and its binaries.WDAC policies apply to the managed computer as a whole and affects all users of the device. Windows Server Core edition does support WDAC but some components that depends on AppLocker won’t work.Windows Server 2016/2019 or anything before version 1903 only support legacy policies (aka 1 policy in place).WDAC allows organizations to control which drivers and applications are allowed to run on devices. WDAC was introduced with Windows 10 and could be applied to Windows server 2016 and later, its older name is Configurable Code Integrity (CCI). I’ll keep updating this section as I see more blogs posted.Today we discuss about All things about WDAC – Windows Defender Application Control. I’ve read others, but nothing else that I would recommend, yet. To be honest, there are not a lot of good blogs out there on Intune. This can be dry reading, but it is good information that is updated regularly. If it is from Microsoft, you will find a lot of details on Technet. System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager & Windows Intune Windows Intune for IT Professionals Jump Start Here are a couple of the current courses available, as of July 2014. It won’t teach you everything, but the courses I have completed do a good job introducing new features and concepts, and Intune is no exception. ![]() ![]() Microsoft’s Virtual Academy ( is a great resource that I see under-utilized by many IT professionals. Success with Enterprise Mobility: Empowering SCCM Admins Well, Brad Anderson ( Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Windows Server and System Center, does a great job of explaining how SCCM and Intune will work together and why SCCM Admins are the ones they are targeting for Intune. Here are some of the resources I’ve used to learn about Intune and I will keep adding links as I learn more.įirst and foremost, why bother with Intune? I can say that it will be a major part of the future of SCCM, but it carries a lot more weight when Microsoft says it. However, SCCM is going to change, and Intune will be a big part of the changes to come in the next few years. Many organizations have huge investments in SCCM and it is often the gateway for the rest of the System Center suite, so it doesn’t make sense for Microsoft to get rid of it. I don’t speak for Microsoft, but I am confident in my statement. Before there is any public panic, let me state that SCCM isn’t going anywhere. ![]() If you follow SCCM news, you’ve heard the, “Intune is the future!” talk from Microsoft. ![]()
