AppLocker
AppLocker is the next version of the Software Restriction Policies feature, which provides access control for applications. For more information, see What is AppLocker?.
Improvements to AppLocker include:
AppLocker PowerShell cmdlets. These cmdlets are used in conjunction with the AppLocker user interface as building blocks to help author, test, maintain, and troubleshoot AppLocker policy. For more information, see AppLocker PowerShell Cmdlets.
Audit only enforcement mode. This setting helps you determine which applications are used in an organization and test rules that you create before you deploy them. When the AppLocker policy for a rule collection is set to Audit only, rules for that rule collection are not enforced. Rules can be imported into AppLocker and tested before they are deployed by using the Audit only enforcement mode. For more information, see “Scenario 2: Using Auditing to Track Which Applications Are Used” in the AppLocker Step-by-Step Guide.
