Application Blocker

Audit > Application Blocker

The Application Blocker page prevents any application from running on a machine ID. Blocked applications cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted from the system.

Block

To block an application from running on a machine:

  1. Select one or more machine IDs. Only machine IDs currently matching the Machine ID / Group ID filter are displayed.
  2. Enter the application's filename in the edit box.

    The application can be referenced by file name and/or a portion of the full path. For example, adding an application named blockme.exe to the list, prevents all occurrences of blockme.exe, on any directory or on any drive, from running. Adding myfolder\blockme.exe prevents occurrences of the application in any directory named myfolder from running.

  3. Click the Block button.
  4. The blocked application displays in the Application column beside the selected machine IDs.

Unblock

To unblock an application from the blocked list:

  1. Select one or more machine IDs that show blocked applications in the Application column.
  2. Click the Unblock button. This opens a File Access popup window listing all blocked applications for the selected machine IDs.
  3. Click one or more blocked applications.
  4. Click the Unblock button. The window closes.
  5. The blocked application no longer displays in the Application column beside the selected machine IDs.
