Policy CSP - MixedReality

Artikel
09/11/2024

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

Important

This CSP contains some settings that are under development and only applicable for Windows Insider Preview builds. These settings are subject to change and may have dependencies on other features or services in preview.

These policies are only supported on Microsoft HoloLens 2. They're not supported on HoloLens (first gen) Development Edition or HoloLens (first gen) Commercial Suite devices.

AADGroupMembershipCacheValidityInDays

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	❌ Pro ❌ Enterprise ❌ Education ❌ Windows SE ❌ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 2004 [10.0.19041] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/AADGroupMembershipCacheValidityInDays

This policy controls for how many days, Microsoft Entra group membership cache is allowed to be used for Assigned Access configurations targeting Microsoft Entra groups for signed in user. Once this policy is set only then cache is used otherwise not. In order for this policy to take effect, user must sign-out and sign-in with Internet available at least once before the cache can be used for subsequent 'disconnected' sessions.

Steps to use this policy correctly:

Create a device configuration profile for kiosk, which targets Microsoft Entra groups. Assign it to the HoloLens devices.
Create a custom OMA URI-based device configuration. Set this policy value to the chosen number of days greater than zero (0). Then assign the configuration to the HoloLens devices.
- The URI value should be entered in OMA-URI text box as ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/AADGroupMembershipCacheValidityInDays
- The value can be any integer in the allowed range.
Enroll the HoloLens devices. Verify that both configurations apply to the device.
When internet is available, sign in as a Microsoft Entra user. Once the user signs-in, and Microsoft Entra group membership is confirmed successfully, the cache will be created.
You can now take the HoloLens offline and use it for kiosk mode as long as policy value allows for X number of days.
Steps 4 and 5 can be repeated for any other Microsoft Entra user. The key point is that any Microsoft Entra user must sign-in at least once to a device while on the internet. Then we can determine that they're a member of a Microsoft Entra group to which the kiosk configuration is targeted.

Note

Until you do step 4 for a Microsoft Entra user, the user will experience failure behavior similar to a disconnected environment.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/AllowCaptivePortalBeforeLogon

This policy controls whether the device will display the captive portal flow on the HoloLens sign in screen's network selection page when a captive portal network is detected. Displaying the captive portal flow is disabled by default to reduce the potential of gaining unauthorized access to the device through the browser.

This opt-in policy can help with the setup of new devices in new areas or new users. The captive portal allows a user to enter credentials to connect to the Wi-Fi access point. If enabled, sign in will implement similar logic as OOBE to display captive portal if necessary.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/AllowLaunchUriInSingleAppKiosk

By default, launching applications via Launcher API (Launcher Class (Windows. System) - Windows UWP applications | Microsoft Docs) is disabled in single app kiosk mode. To enable applications to launch in single app kiosk mode on HoloLens devices, set the policy value to true.

Enable this policy to allow for other apps to be launched within a single app kiosk. This behavior may be useful if you want to launch the Settings app to calibrate your device or change your Wi-Fi.

AutoLogonUser

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	❌ Pro ❌ Enterprise ❌ Education ❌ Windows SE ❌ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ [10.0.20348] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/AutoLogonUser

This policy controls whether a user will be automatically logged on. When the policy is set to a non-empty value, it specifies the email address of the auto-logon user. The specified user must logon to the device at least once to enable auto-logon.

Some customers want to set up devices that are tied to an identity but don't want any sign-in experience. In this case, you can pick up a device and immediately use remote assist. It also allows you to rapidly distribute HoloLens devices and have users speed up sign-in.

The string value is the email address of the user to automatically sign in.

On a device where you configure this policy, the user specified in the policy needs to sign in at least once. Subsequent reboots of the device after the first sign-in will have the specified user automatically signed in. Only a single auto-logon user is supported. Once enabled, the automatically signed-in user can't manually sign out. To sign in as a different user, first disable this policy.

Note

Some events such as major OS updates may require the specified user to sign in to the device again to resume auto-logon behavior.
Auto-logon is only supported for Microsoft accounts and Microsoft Entra users.

ConfigureNtpClient

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	❌ Pro ❌ Enterprise ❌ Education ❌ Windows SE ❌ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ [10.0.20348] and later

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/ConfigureNtpClient

This policy setting specifies a set of parameters for controlling the Windows NTP Client.

If you enable this policy setting, you can specify the following parameters for the Windows NTP Client.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the Windows NTP Client uses the defaults of each of the following parameters.

NtpServer.

The Domain Name System (DNS) name or IP address of an NTP time source. This value is in the form of "dnsName,flags" where "flags" is a hexadecimal bitmask of the flags for that host. For more information, see the NTP Client Group Policy Settings Associated with Windows Time section of the Windows Time Service Group Policy Settings. The default value is "time.windows.com,0x09".

Type.

This value controls the authentication that W32time uses. The default value is NT5DS.

CrossSiteSyncFlags.

This value, expressed as a bitmask, controls how W32time chooses time sources outside its own site. The possible values are 0, 1, and 2. Setting this value to 0 (None) indicates that the time client shouldn't attempt to synchronize time outside its site. Setting this value to 1 (PdcOnly) indicates that only the computers that function as primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations masters in other domains can be used as synchronization partners when the client has to synchronize time with a partner outside its own site. Setting a value of 2 (All) indicates that any synchronization partner can be used. This value is ignored if the NT5DS value isn't set. The default value is 2 decimal (0x02 hexadecimal).

ResolvePeerBackoffMinutes.

This value, expressed in minutes, controls how long W32time waits before it attempts to resolve a DNS name when a previous attempt failed. The default value is 15 minutes.

ResolvePeerBackoffMaxTimes.

This value controls how many times W32time attempts to resolve a DNS name before the discovery process is restarted. Each time DNS name resolution fails, the amount of time to wait before the next attempt will be twice the previous amount. The default value is seven attempts.

SpecialPollInterval.

This NTP client value, expressed in seconds, controls how often a manually configured time source is polled when the time source is configured to use a special polling interval. If the SpecialInterval flag is enabled on the NTPServer setting, the client uses the value that's set as the SpecialPollInterval, instead of a variable interval between MinPollInterval and MaxPollInterval values, to determine how frequently to poll the time source. SpecialPollInterval must be in the range of [MinPollInterval, MaxPollInterval], else the nearest value of the range is picked. Default: 1024 seconds.

EventLogFlags.

This value is a bitmask that controls events that may be logged to the System log in Event Viewer. Setting this value to 0x1 indicates that W32time will create an event whenever a time jump is detected. Setting this value to 0x2 indicates that W32time will create an event whenever a time source change is made. Because it's a bitmask value, setting 0x3 (the addition of 0x1 and 0x2) indicates that both time jumps and time source changes will be logged.

More information:

You may want to configure a different time server for your device fleet. You can use this policy to configure certain aspects of the NTP client. In the Settings app, the Time/Language page will show the time server after a time sync has occurred.

For more information, see ADMX_W32Time Policy CSP - W32Time_Policy_Configure_NTPClient.

Note

This policy also requires enabling NtpClientEnabled.

After you enable this policy, restart the device for the changes to apply.

ConfigureSharedAccount

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ❌ User	❌ Pro ❌ Enterprise ❌ Education ❌ Windows SE ❌ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows Insider Preview

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MixedReality/ConfigureSharedAccount

This policy specifies the configuration for Shared Accounts on the device. Shared Accounts are Microsoft Entra accounts that are deployed to the device by an IT admin and can be used by anyone with physical access to the device. These accounts excel in deployments where the HoloLens device is used like a tool shared between multiple people and it doesn't matter which account is used to access Microsoft Entra resources. Because these accounts can be signed in without requiring the user to provide credentials, you should ensure that these devices are physically secure, with access granted only to authorized personnel. You should also lock down these accounts to only have access to the required resources.
