ComputerNeeds changes for IntuneRemediation_BNB_REP_RemoteEncryptionProtectionExclusions

Supported on At least Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 Version 1607

25H2 · 1.0

What it does

Specify IP addresses, subnets, and domain names to exclude from Remote Encryption Protection. Note that attackers can spoof excluded addresses and names to bypass protection. Enter each address or subnet on a new line as a name-value pair: - Name column: Enter an IP address or subnet name. For example, ""1.1.127.0"" will exclude this IP address from getting blocked. - Value column: Enter ""0"" for each item

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry key: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Remediation\Behavioral Network Blocks\Remote Encryption Protection
Value name: RemoteEncryptionProtection_Exclusions
When enabled: DWORD 1
When disabled: value removed

Why it needs changes for Intune

Policy references a Windows supportedOn definition.
ADMX-INTUNE-WINDOWS-SUPPORTEDON-REFERENCE

In Intune

No native CSP; import the ADMX (needs changes first).

From Microsoft's Policy CSP DDF files (DDF v2 Files, February 2026), read 18 Oct 2026.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: Remediation_BNB_REP_RemoteEncryptionProtectionExclusions
