This example sets the local AppLocker policy to the policy specified in C:\Policy.xml.
PS C:\> Set-AppLockerPolicy -XMLPolicy C:\Policy.xml
EXAMPLE 2
This example sets the GPO specified in the LDAP path to contain the AppLocker policy that is specified in C:\Policy.xml.
PS C:\> Set-AppLockerPolicy -XMLPolicy C:\Policy.xml -LDAP "LDAP://DC13.Contoso.com/CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=Contoso,DC=com"
EXAMPLE 3
This example gets the local AppLocker policy, and then merges the policy with the existing AppLocker policy in the GPO specified in the LDAP path. See the Merge parameter description for more details on how two policies are merged.
PS C:\> Get-AppLockerPolicy -Local | Set-AppLockerPolicy -LDAP "LDAP://DC13.Contoso.com/CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=Contoso,DC=com" -Merge
