Policy CSP - ADMX_DWM
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.

Note
This policy setting can be used in conjunction with the "Prevent color changes of window frames" setting, to enforce a specific color for window frames that can't be changed by users.
