Description

Modify an existing Microsoft Defender Application Control policy. Use New-CMWdacSetting to create a new management policy, and Get-CMWdacSetting to get an existing management policy.

Examples

Example 1: Add trusted binaries to an existing setting

This example gets an existing Microsoft Defender Application Control policy by name. It then passes that object to the Set-CMWdacSetting cmdlet to add two new trusted files.

Get-CMWdacSetting -Name "My App Control setting" | Set-CMWdacSetting -TrustedFiles "xyz.exe", "abc.dll"

Parameters

-Description

Specify a new description for the policy object.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnableIntelligentSecurityGraph

Use this parameter to authorize software that the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph trusts. This service includes Windows Defender SmartScreen and other Microsoft services. For this software to be trusted, the device must be running Windows Defender SmartScreen and Windows 10 version 1709 or later.

Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnforcementMode

Choose one of the following enforcement methods for Microsoft Defender Application Control:

  • EnforceMode: Only trusted executables can run.

Type:CMWDACEnforcementMode
Accepted values:AuditMode, EnforceMode
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EnforceRestart

After the client processes the policy, a restart is scheduled on the client. It follows the client settings for Computer Restart. Applications currently running on the device won't have the new Application Control policy applied to them until after the device restarts.

Set this parameter to $true to force the device to restart after the client applies the policy.

Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
