We have seen so far that the events written to the eventlog, whether the file is really executed or not and the PolicyDecision(s) reported by the Test-AppLockerPolicy cmdlet are fully aligned and coherent with the official documentation.

The file %WINDIR%\TEST.BAT was allowed to run because the rule named “(Default Rule) All scripts located in the Windows folder” allows it explicitly. A DeniedbyDefault RUN decision from Applocker has a RuleId set to. The file %OSDRIVE%\TEST.BAT isn’t allowed to run because there’s no rule that would allow it to be executed. Let’s have a quick look at what appears in the eventlog. For more information, contact your system administrator.” message instead and a related 8007 event is generated. bat file isn’t executed, I get a “ This program is blocked by group policy. bat file in a location that is not explicitly mentioned in the rules is denied from running by default.

Have the ExecutionPolicy set to “Remote Signed”.

Make sure Applocker “allow mode” (a.k.a whitelist mode) is enforced and that PowerShell runs in Constrained Language mode (even for the administrator).

Create the default rules for EXE,MSI,SCRIPTS,Packages and delete the rule named “(Default rule) All scripts” that has a single ‘*’ in the Path and applies for the local built-in administrators group.

Have a computer that meets the Applocker requirement to enforce an Applocker group policy (=have an Enterprise edition of Windows).

Applied only when the **Enforce rules ** enforcement mode is set either directly or indirectly through Group Policy inheritance. Not all host processes call into AppLocker and, therefore, AppLocker cannot control every kind of interpreted code, such as Microsoft Office macros.Īccess to *file name* is restricted by the administrator.

To control interpreted code by using AppLocker, the host process must call AppLocker before it runs the interpreted code, and then enforce the decision returned by AppLocker. For example, Windows batch files (*.bat) run within the context of the Windows Command Host (cmd.exe).

Interpreted code is a form of executable code that runs within a host process. It does not control all interpreted code that runs within a host process, for example, Perl scripts and macros. cmd files, and Windows PowerShell scripts. In each case, the actions taken by AppLocker are written to the event log.ĪppLocker can only control VBScript, JScript.

The script file then is evaluated against the AppLocker policy to verify that it is allowed to run. AppLocker invokes the Application Identity component in user-mode with the file name or file handle to calculate the file properties. ps1 files the script host is PowerShell) invokes AppLocker to verify the script. (that’s not a requirement to read this post 🙂 )Īnyway, please keep in mind the following that appears in the official online documentation:īefore a script file is run, the script host (for example. Let’s suppose you’re familiar with Applocker. Goal: Make sure to understand how Applocker and PowerShell work together.
