Get-AppLockerPolicy

Gets the local, the effective, or a domain AppLocker policy.

Syntax

Get-AppLockerPolicy
   [-Local]
   [-Xml]
   [<CommonParameters>]
Get-AppLockerPolicy
   [-Domain]
   -Ldap <String>
   [-Xml]
   [<CommonParameters>]
Get-AppLockerPolicy
   [-Effective]
   [-Xml]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-AppLockerPolicy cmdlet retrieves the AppLocker policy from the local Group Policy Object (GPO), a specified GPO, or the GP-deployed effective policy on the computer.

By default, the output is an AppLockerPolicy object. If the Xml parameter is used, then the output will be the AppLocker policy as an XML-formatted string.

Note that the Get-AppLockerPolicy cmdlet only functions with policies deployed via GP. It does not have any knowledge of the AppLocker CSP, so it will return incorrect data if the policy in place has been applied via the CSP.

Examples

Example 1: Get an AppLocker policy

PS C:\> Get-AppLockerPolicy -Local
                                Version RuleCollections                         RuleCollectionTypes 
                                ------- ---------------                         ------------------- 
                                      1 {}                                      {}

This example gets the local AppLocker policy as an AppLockerPolicy object.

Example 2: Get the AppLocker policy for a GPO

PS C:\> Get-AppLockerPolicy -Domain -LDAP "LDAP:// DC13.Contoso.com/CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=Contoso,DC=com"

This example gets the AppLocker policy of the unique GPO specified by the LDAP path as an AppLockerPolicy object.

Example 3: Get the effective policy

PS C:\> Get-AppLockerPolicy -Effective -Xml | Set-Content ('c:\temp\curr.xml')

This example gets the effective policy on the computer, and then sends it in XML-format to the specified file on an existing path.

Example 4: Get and test an AppLocker policy

PS C:\> Get-AppLockerPolicy -Local | Test-AppLockerPolicy -Path C:\Windows\System32\*.exe -User Everyone

This example gets the local AppLocker policy on the computer, and then tests the policy using the Test-AppLockerPolicy cmdlet to test whether the .exe files in C:\Windows\System32 will be allowed to run by the Everyone group.
