AppSense AM - How to Disable an exe via Computer AD Group Membership (PowerShell Scripted Rule)

The Script below can be used within AppSense Application Manager to check if the local machine is a member of a specific group. This can be used a scripted rule to prohibit or allow access to certain binaries on a per machine basis. The example below searches for a group called disable_wordpad. It can be run per user or per computer, per user will mean a slight overhead on processing but allows the rule to be more flexible if the AD membership changes between logons.
