you are right, it is not default on enterprise, i am setting standards for 1809 and CIS says , set it to 1 , but am interested the reason behind this rollback.
I am planning to enforce this on my enterprise, since we have locked down on admin and would like to know, how Microsoft populates by default a bunch of .exe , if a vendor reaches out to us with an .exe, is there a a way for users within enterprise to certify that .exe is harmless and include in the list of trusted. How does Microsoft go about certifying for the overrides. Thanks,
[Aaron Margosis] What rollback? EnableInstallerDetection has always been enabled.
I don't know what you're referring to with the rest of your question. We never make any assertion about "harmless" - if you're asking about why we configured EP for some apps (and similarly EMET several years ago) it was just that they were/are popular and could potentially have had exploitable vulnerabilities.
