Precisely, the can write any file with any extension, but even the
person with "local admin" authority is not allowed to run .BAT script.
That require yet another authority. :-(
No scripts sounds like a major impediment to productivity.
Yes, obviously. You cannot even write simple script to backup your files.
Didn't I say that's plain stupid?
Why it was implemented?
Because it is simple. No other reason.
It is simple to block any program (including .BAT or powershell scripts)
in Windows 10. Fancy feature for security guys.
Same company, older systems (Win7) - no limitation for scripts, any .EXE
installation was prohibited, but not enforced.
That's reality of Windows "security" - more and more limitations, less
and less things allowed. And it's still vulnerable. It's enough to open
PDF attachment, even having very limited authorities.
Some of the rules are obvious, some provide inconvenience, and some are
simply ridiculous or quite easy to circumvent.
(My personal policy: follow the rules and claim when you cannot do
something. Do not fight, just follow and inform.)
