Any campaign IDs supplied by the source are tracked as well.

 ## Key notes for enterprise administrators
 
-- If you've been using the *[ApplicationManagement/RequirePrivateStoreOnly](/microsoft-store/manage-access-to-private-store)* MDM policy, the *Only display the private store within the Microsoft Store* app group policy, or setting the *RemoveWindowsStore* DWORD value in the registry to 1 to block local or domain joined devices from accessing the Store, remember that these settings are for disabling the Store application. This policy doesn't block installation or updates of apps available on the Store.
-- If you'd like to better control the types of apps that can be installed by domain-joined PCs, including apps from the Store and from the Microsoft Store Web Installer, visit [AppLocker - Windows Security](/windows/security/application-security/application-control/windows-defender-application-control/applocker/applocker-overview). This policy can be used in combination with *RequirePrivateStoreOnly*, *RemoveWindowsStore*, or independently.
-- If you’d like to specifically block installations from the Microsoft Store Web Installer, you can domain block the following URL - `get.microsoft.com` . This will block the installer from being downloaded and executed from either the Microsoft Store website, or from various developer websites distributing apps through this mechanism. Blocking this will not have any impact on the Microsoft Store app on Windows or already installed apps. These will continue to operate, unless combined with the above policies.
