Configure and deploy Windows Defender Application Guard policies
Windows Defender Application Guard is a new Windows feature that helps protect your users by opening untrusted websites in a secure isolated container that is not accessible by other parts of the operating system. In this technical preview, we’ve added support to configure this feature using Configuration Manager compliance settings which you configure and then deploy to a collection. This feature will be released in a preview for the 64-bit version of the Windows 10 Creator’s Update (codename: RS2). To test this feature now, you must be using a preview version of this update.
Add parameters when you deploy PowerShell scripts from Configuration Manager
In the last Technical Preview, we introduced a new capability that lets you Create and run PowerShell scripts from the Configuration Manager console. In this Technical Preview, we’ve expanded on this capability. Configuration Manager now reads the PowerShell script, and displays any parameters in the Create Script Wizard. You can supply a value for the parameter in the wizard that will be used when the script is run. Alternatively, you can leave the parameter blank. If you do this, you will need to supply a value for the parameter when you run the script.
NOTE: People writing that: “The links in the PowerShell scripts from Configuration Manager section aren’t working.”
