They allow whitelisting in a concise sense, in which you have to allow every application explicitly. For example, there are no path rules unlike with the two other features. Also limited is rule targeting, which you can only apply to computers and not to users.
If you need user-specific restrictions, Microsoft recommends the parallel use of AppLocker. It stores it in an XML file, which you must first convert to a binary format before deploying it to the target computers.

Any suggestions on fixing that? Bryan Doe Apr 27, at pm. Is an SRP event listed in event viewer, and if so, what is it flagging?
Any other ideas? Also, you may want to start a thread on this instead, it'd get more visibility in the community. MichaelK12 May 30, at am. Read these next Right-click the node and choose New Software Restriction Policies. Security Levels and Additional Rules we know about and will come to in a moment. Firstly, though, right-click on Enforcement and choose Properties , and you will see this dialog.
If you start applying application controls to DLL files, you may find problems as you will need to list all libraries used by a program. I would only turn on DLL-level checking in high-security environments where you have total control over every file in use. The second option, Apply to all users or all users except local administrators , is up to you to decide.
If you are in an environment where administrators routinely log on to and perform troubleshooting on client devices, then make them exempt from the SRP rules. However, if you are in an environment where all troubleshooting is done remotely via a privileged-access station which, ideally, it should be , then you can apply the restrictions to administrators as well.
Alternatively, you can whitelist all of the administrator tools as well, but bear in mind that because SRPs are not flexible by user this will allow ordinary users to run these tools also.
Choose the option that makes the most sense for your environment. The final option is whether to enforce certificate rules. If, in the Additional Rules section, you are using certificate-based checking, then you will need to enforce them here. The caveat about performance refers to the need to check a certificate revocation list CRL every time a program is run. It also means that the CRL usually held online needs to be accessible from the client, so environments with internet access blocked may struggle if this option is enforced.
Choose the option that matches your requirements. Notice that. All of the others in the list can be removed, or added to. There are a couple of notes worth calling out.
Firstly, that. I normally remove. The final option is for management of Trusted Publishers. It also, optionally, allows you to enforce a CRL on the trusted certificates. Again, choose the options which are relevant to how you wish to manage the environment. You will get a warning — just click on Yes. This now means that everything will be blocked, subject to a the options configured under your global rules, and b any Additional Rules configured with a security level of Unrestricted.
In a whitelist situation, you configure Additional Rules with a Security Level of Unrestricted to allow executables to run. However, these paths predate the arrival of x64 computing and often will mean anything in the x86 Program Files folder will be blocked.
I delete the default Path Rules and replace them with those shown below This ensures that files in the system areas can execute without needing to provide an exhaustive list prior to deployment. Population of the Additional Rules section is where your understanding of execution areas will become paramount.
For instance, in our image we use App-V applications. These applications do not execute from Program Files or the SystemRoot areas — they have their own cached location. If we try to launch one, we see the standard SRP block screen below. If you then check in the Event Viewer under Application log and look for an event ID , it will tell you the path of the executable which was prevented from running.
So we need to add a new Additional Rule that allows this path. One thing worth noting with SRPs, though, is that often the user has to log out and back in before the updated policy will take effect.
So now only executables residing in our specified paths can be run. For instance, I can run regedit. Simply allowing Paths is the most basic way to allow executables to run. However, this can potentially be subverted by an attacker creating files within the allowed Paths, even with the same name as expected executables, if you have restricted by exact name. You can further tighten the security by restricting by other methods.
Network Zone rules allow you to specify particular internet or intranet locations that MSI files can be executed from.
