Updated: November 9, 2009
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
This topic describes the steps to import an AppLocker policy into a Group Policy Object (GPO).
AppLocker policies can be created as local security policies and modified like any other local security policy, or they can be created as part of a GPO and managed by using Group Policy. You can create AppLocker policies on any supported computer. For information about which Windows editions are supported, see Requirements to Use AppLocker.

| Follow your organization's standard procedures for updating GPOs. For information about specific steps to follow for AppLocker policies, see Maintaining AppLocker Policies. |
To complete this procedure, you must have Edit Setting permission to edit a GPO. By default, members of the Domain Admins group, the Enterprise Admins group, and the Group Policy Creator Owners group have this permission.
-
In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), open the GPO that you want to edit.
-
In the console tree under Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Application Control Policies, click AppLocker.
-
Right-click AppLocker, and then click Import Policy.
-
In the Import Policy dialog box, locate the XML policy file, and click Open.
-
The AppLocker dialog box will notify you of how many rules were imported. Click OK.
