NoFlightRoots: is for users who don't want to allow flighting/insider builds from Dev/Canary channels. If not specified, Default will be used. .PARAMETER Mode The mode to use for creating the strict Kernel mode WDAC policy, offers 2 options: Prep: Deploys the Kernel mode WDAC policy in Audit mode so that you can restart your system and start capturing any blocked drivers to be automatically allowed. AuditAndEnforce: Deploys the final Kernel mode WDAC policy in Enforced mode .PARAMETER EVSigners Adds EVSigners policy rule option to the deployed policy. Applicable for both Audit and Enforced modes. Drivers not EV (Extended Validation) signed cannot run nor can they be allowed in a Supplemental policy. .PARAMETER Deploy Deploys the selected policy type instead of just creating it .PARAMETER SkipVersionCheck Can be used with any parameter to bypass the online version check - only to be used in rare cases .INPUTS System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter .OUTPUTS System.String .EXAMPLE New-KernelModeWDACConfig -Default -PrepMode -Deploy This example creates the strict Kernel mode WDAC policy based off of the default Windows WDAC example policy, deploys it in Audit mode. System restart will be required after this. .EXAMPLE New-KernelModeWDACConfig -Default -AuditAndEnforce -Deploy This example creates the strict Kernel mode WDAC policy based off of the default Windows WDAC example policy, deploys it in Enforced mode. It will also contain the drivers that were blocked during the Audit mode. #> } |
