This topic describes the steps to enable the AppLocker policy enforcement setting in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
 Note |
|---|
| When AppLocker policy enforcement is set to Enforce rules, rules are enforced for the rule collection and all events are audited. |
For information about how AppLocker policies are applied within a GPO structure, see Understanding 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 information how to use these MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker, see Using the MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker.
-
In the console tree of the snap-in under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Application Control Policies, right-click AppLocker, and then click Properties.
-
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.
-
Click OK.
For information about viewing the events generated from rules enforcement, see View the AppLocker Log in Event Viewer.
