Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • In a network environment, you manage software restriction policies by applying AppLocker rules.

  • You apply the AppLocker rules by using a Group Policy setting.

  • You log on a client computer in the network. The computer is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. 

In this scenario, you cannot access allowed applications.

Note This issue is more likely to occur on client computers that have a slow WAN connection.

Cause

This issue occurs because the synchronization mechanism between Group Policy and AppLocker is broken.
