Applocker blocks application behind unc path

Answered Applocker blocks application behind unc path

    We are using Applocker to deny 3rd part browsers. I have an application which runs in server share, so every users launches \\server\folder1\folder2\executable.exe to use this applications. Applockers blocks this. I need this application to be executed.

    Besides default allow %windir% and %programfiles% rules, I created 2 allow rules for this application:

    1. Publisher rule O=TEKLA CORPORATION, L=ESPOO, S=ETELA-SUOMEN LAANI, C=FI

    2. Path rule \\server\folder1\folder2

    I made sure policies are updated, but still I get that group policy had denied this utility.

    How I can accomplish this?

    It seems, that I´ve solved this by adding * to the end of path rule.

    We have a similar problem but in our case a colleague had the * at the end like\\server\folder\* but it doesnt seem to work to Allow setup.exe files to run from that location and any subfolder. So i removed the *, but havnt got the OK from the user yet. Have you any more experience in this?
