- Create the Scripts Manager policy in PolicyPak.
- Run the Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) as a user with the necessary rights (to create and link GPOs at that level) and then create a new GPO and link the GPO at the OU (User Level) or Domain level depending on who needs to receive these settings.
For example:
-
- Next Edit the newly created GPO and expand the User Configuration > PolicyPak > Scripts Manager section.
- Then click “ADD NEW COLLECTION” to add a new collection, give it any descriptive name you like, then click “OK”.
-
- Next, double click on the collection you just created to open the collection.
- Then right-click anywhere in the right pane and choose “Add > New Policy”, (or alternatively click on the “ADD NEW POLICY” button) to create a new policy item within the collection.
-
- The “PolicyPak Scripts Manager Wizard” will then open.
- At the “On apply action” screen choose “PowerShell script” from the drop down.
- Then paste the commands below into the scripts body window.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force
Set-ProcessMitigation -Name msra.exe -Enable DisableExtensionPoints
-
- Then check both the “Run script as user” and “With elevated rights” boxes at the bottom left hand of the window and click “Next”.
-
- Click “Next” to skip the “On revert action” screen.
- At the “Specify process mode” screen choose “Once or when forced” then click “Save”
- Lastly, test the policy.
- Log in as a domain user within the OU or Domain where the policy is applied and verify under Windows Settings that the custom Exploit Protection settings are present.
