[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-CMAntimalwarePolicy cmdlet creates a policy object that specifies the antimalware settings for endpoint protection. The policy applies to collections of client computers that run a Configuration Manager agent. Antimalware policies are configuration settings that define how an antimalware agent operates on a client computer.
After you create the policy, use the Set-CMAntiMalwarePolicy cmdlet to configure the specific settings.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
