Policy CSP - ADMX_WindowsMediaDRM
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_WindowsMediaDRM/DisableOnline
Prevents Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) from accessing the Internet (or intranet).
When enabled, Windows Media DRM is prevented from accessing the Internet (or intranet) for license acquisition and security upgrades.
When this policy is enabled, programs aren't able to acquire licenses for secure content, upgrade Windows Media DRM security components, or restore backed up content licenses. Secure content that's already licensed to the local computer will continue to play. Users are also able to protect music that they copy from a CD and play this protected content on their computer, since the license is generated locally in this scenario.
When this policy is either disabled or not configured, Windows Media DRM functions normally and will connect to the Internet (or intranet) to acquire licenses, download security upgrades, and perform license restoration.
