AppLocker: Allow Business Software but Restrict Other Apps
My Way IT Services•02 Oct 2026•Windows Server

The problem

Shared RDP servers can become difficult to control when every user can launch installed software.

Recommended approach

Use application control based on publisher, path or file hash, with group-based assignments. Keep an administrator break-glass path for maintenance.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. List required applications.
  2. Create a pilot user group.
  3. Start with audit mode where possible.
  4. Create allow/deny rules and test updates.
  5. Move to enforcement after reviewing events.
