Starting in 2017, when I built a new home, I started my home automation journey. In the past, I focussed a lot of home media management and automation. Over the years, my setup has grown significantly. I write about products that I try and use every day in my life and home. What I share on this site is not some paid-advertising. This site was started to share what I learned, with the community. I was one of these folks and I understand how stressful it can be. Or, if they are starting from scratch, they may not know what to invest in. They may have trouble envisioning how everything fits together.

However this is still good case study at the process you need to take to rollout AppLocker to prevent users from running particular programs that say may not be a secure version. Rather ironically Windows has its P2P service built-in called Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) which is used for distributing software updates to computers efficiently over WAN and LAN links. For example check out The Tunnel Movie which was a full length movie that was released freely using BitTorrent. Personally I certainly think BitTorrent software has a legitimate and legal place. Meaning that they do not have to constantly update the Group Policy setting with a new hash value whenever a new version of the client is released. This makes it a lot easier for AppLocker to identify the application as it only need to look at the digital signature to determine if the program should be blocked. I assume what made this a lot easier for Microsoft is that the most popular BitTorrent clients uTorrent is a digitally signed program. This document focus’s more on the process for testing and deployment of AppLocker in a large environment rather than the exact technical steps. Not a single support call for an AppLocker-related problem has occurred. It was also interesting that the report noted that there was not a single support call regarding AppLocker for all 200,000 computers when the settings were rolled out. The report shows that after they fully rolled out the AppLocker policy setting the number of P2P cases dropped to nearly 0%. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ( DMCA) by preventing all their computers from running P2P software. This was done to so that Microsoft would maintaining compliance with the U.S. Microsoft has just released a report (see AppLocker Deployment at Microsoft) describing the process they used to implementation of AppLocker via Group Policy.
