Policy CSP - ADMX_SystemRestore
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>
. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_SystemRestore/SR_DisableConfig
Allows you to disable System Restore configuration through System Protection.
This policy setting allows you to turn off System Restore configuration through System Protection.
System Restore enables users, in the event of a problem, to restore their computers to a previous state without losing personal data files. The behavior of this policy setting depends on the "Turn off System Restore" policy setting.
If you enable this policy setting, the option to configure System Restore through System Protection is disabled.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, users can change the System Restore settings through System Protection.
Also, see the "Turn off System Restore" policy setting. If the "Turn off System Restore" policy setting is enabled, the "Turn off System Restore configuration" policy setting is overwritten.
