What is software restriction policy?
Rating:
Software restriction policies are settings in a GPO, which are used for identifying software and controlling its ability to run on a local computer, site, domain, or organizational unit (OU). Software restriction policies protect the computer environment from unknown code by identifying and specifying the applications allowed to run. By modifying settings in the User Configuration or Computer Configuration, administrators can apply the policies on users or computers. When the software restriction policies are configured, users are forced to follow the guidelines set up by administrators when executing programs. Software restriction policies are supported by the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
