Description

The New-CIPolicyRule cmdlet generates Code Integrity policy rules for drivers. Specify a rule level and an array of DriverFile objects or the path of a driver.

Examples

Example 1: Create policy rules for drivers

PS C:\> $DriverFiles = Get-SystemDriver -ScanPath '.\temp\' -UserPEs -OmitPaths '.\temp\ConfigCITestBinaries' -NoScript
PS C:\> New-CIPolicyRule -Level FileName -DriverFiles $DriverFiles
Scan completed successfully

TypeId         : Allow
Root           :

Ekus           :

FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

Name           : \\?\E:\cmdlets\temp\Microsoft.ConfigCI.Commands.Tests.dll FileRule
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_3
TypeId         : Allow

Name           : \\?\E:\cmdlets\temp\Microsoft.PackageInspector.Tests.dll FileRule
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_5
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : 
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

The first command gets drivers by using the Get-SystemDriver cmdlet, and then stores them in the $DriverFiles variable.

The second command creates policy rules at the file name level for the drivers in $DriverList. For this example, we present only the first few rules.

Example 2: Create policy rules for drivers and include a fallback value

PS C:\> New-CIPolicyRule -Level Publisher -Fallback Hash -DriverFiles $DriverFiles
"Scan completed successfully"


Name           : \\?\E:\cmdlets\temp\Microsoft.ConfigCI.Commands.dll Hash Sha1
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_F
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : 
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

Name           : \\?\E:\cmdlets\temp\Microsoft.ConfigCI.Commands.dll Hash Sha256
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_10
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : 
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

Name           : \\?\E:\cmdlets\temp\Microsoft.ConfigCI.Commands.dll Hash Page Sha1
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_11
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : 
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

This command generates rule at the Publisher level for the same drivers from the previous example. For files that are unsigned, the cmdlet creates Hash rules, as a fallback. For this example, we present only the first few rules.

Example 3: Specify a policy rule for a kernel component

PS C:\> New-CIPolicyRule -DriverFilePath '.\temp\ConfigCITestBinaries\ci.dll' -Level Publisher
Scan completed successfully


Name           : MSIT Test CodeSign CA 3
Id             : ID_SIGNER_S_B
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : FA6B9A2230CE08BCA81D096B28CF495672401D3A43A0D285CF352464A6C9C7FD
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : False

Name           : MSIT Test CodeSign CA 3
Id             : ID_SIGNER_S_C
TypeId         : Allow
Root           : FA6B9A2230CE08BCA81D096B28CF495672401D3A43A0D285CF352464A6C9C7FD
FileVersionRef : 
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           : 
Exceptions     : 
FileAttributes : 
FileException  : False
UserMode       : True

This command generates a publisher rule for the specific file named ci.dll. The file ci.dll is a kernel component. Therefore, the cmdlet generates both a kernel rule and a user mode rule.

Example 4: Specify a policy rule for a folder path with wildcards

PS C:\> New-CIPolicyRule -FilePathRule '.\temp\ConfigCITestBinaries\*'


Name           : .\temp\ConfigCITestBinaries\* FileRule
Id             : ID_ALLOW_A_1
TypeId         : Allow
Root           :
FileVersionRef :
AppIDRef       :
Wellknown      : False
Ekus           :
Exceptions     :
FileAttributes :
FileException  : False
UserMode       : True
attributes     : {[AppIDs, ], [MinimumFileVersion, 0.0.0.0], [FilePath, .\temp\ConfigCITestBinaries\*]}

This command generates a filepath rule for the specific path verbatim string. This will allow anything in the parent folder.

Example 5: Create a policy rule for a packaged application and its dependencies

PS C:\> $packages = Get-AppxPackage -Name *Microsoft*
PS C:\> $packages
