The AppLocker App Inventory Tool is a utility used to help administrators manage and maintain the application inventory of portable .exe apps. AppLocker is a feature in Windows that allows you to define rules and policies to control the execution of apps, scripts, and installers on your enrolled devices.
SureMDM’s AppLocker policy is designed to list all the applications that were present on your enrolled devices. However since portable apps do not require installation, collection of such apps is a challenge.
