The default setting for unsigned application policy is set to 1 (allow
unsigned applications to run). Microsoft document suggests creating xml
provisioning files to set policy.



It seems a simpler step seems to be to include the following in platform.reg
file in EOM's BSP. Will this work?





; Unsigned Applications Policy; default value is 1, which means unsigned
applications run; value of 0 overwrites this
default[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies] "00001006"=dword:0

Hi,

You can set Security policy using XML format or writing in platform.reg.
but I recommend platform.reg.

write this in platform.reg

;;; unsigned application prompt policy
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101a"=dword:1
;;; signed application policy
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101b"=dword:1

Just as a caveat, the XML format is more likely to be supported in the
future than the registry format. It's documented/supported, the registry
backend is not.
