To create rules for a local computer, the computer must be running Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise. If you want to create rules for a Group Policy object (GPO), you can use a computer that is running any edition of Windows 7, provided that the Remote Server Administration Tools are installed. AppLocker rules can be created on any edition of Windows Server 2008 R2. While you can create AppLocker rules on computers running Windows 7 Professional, they will not be enforced on those computers. However, you can create the rules on a computer running Windows 7 Professional and then export the policy for implementation on computer running an edition of Windows that does support AppLocker rule enforcement.
