In UK there actually a decision already made that these white/blacklisting terms are being deprecated. So yes, in the future this will be changed.

Windows 10 2004 introduces a new Group Policy setting that allows you to configure the minimum password length to a value greater than 14. This was already possible via PowerShell. However, the new audit policy shows conflicts between the two mechanisms.

Creating AppLocker rules from the Windows event log
Following the start of the general rollout of Windows 10 2004, Microsoft provided the corresponding group policy templates as a separate download. For documentation, I have created a multilingual reference of all settings as an Excel spreadsheet.

For me that sounds like not running Anti-Malware and just educating to not touch bad things. Of course it's more important not to let them use admin rights – Surely hope you are not doing that.
For parental advice – I'd rather leave that to another forum.
There's five posts that will drop one by one in the future. I've written all already so just in the publishing queue.
Absolutely! I use family safety on Windows for screentime and it only works with Edge and IE. So AppLocker blocks the others.

AppLocker whitelisting vs. blacklisting
You know Microsoft is serious about something when there’s an exam for it. In this case, it’s MD-101, Managing Modern Desktops. In this article, we’ll look at what a modern desktop is and how it fits into Microsoft’s vision of a modern workplace.
I will try to do that!

Creating a complete memory dump without a Blue Screen
Protecting your VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs) running on premises is a must, but there are many backup programs on the market. A backup solution must be rock-solid reliable, be easy to configure, back up running VMs, provide flexible restores, and include offsite replication and cluster support. Altaro VM Backup 8 ticks all these boxes and more.

I’ve been able to do this even with a new insider build… Maybe he has another anti-malware installed? Or a policy to block this.

How to access the SAM and SECURITY hives in the Registry using the SYSTEM account
In this post, we’ll try to walk you through the upgrade process from vSphere 6.7 to vSphere 7. If you’re running vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) 6.5 or 6.7, you should know that the upgrade is not an in-place upgrade. Rather, it is a new deployment of VCSA 7 with some copying of the old data to the new VCSA 7.

Capturing error messages and looking up text for error code numbers

How to capture a network trace from a remote computer
Most enterprises tend to use multiple vCenter Servers to manage their virtualized infrastructure. My environment has around 100+ vCenter Servers to manage the virtual infrastructure. It is a cumbersome task to manage and maintain the configuration of multiple vCenter Servers in the environment. Prior to vSphere 7.0, there was no centralized configuration tool to centrally manage and apply the same configuration across the multiple vCenter Servers in the environment to maintain consistency. vSphere 7.0 offers a new feature called “vCenter Server profiles” to maintain configurations across called multiple vCenter Servers in the virtualized environment.
Thanks! Fixed it!
