What application do I need to selectively lock USB ports and CD writing permissions for certain users?

Asked by smallporridge in Network Management, Miscellaneous Security, Network Security

Tags: Setting permissions for USB ports and CD writing through the network

Hi

We are running Active Directory 2003 in a small office network with about 40 Pcs running XP Pro.

Unfortunately all our users are local admins. While this is something we want to change in the long term we would like a short term solution for preventing users plugging in dodgy USB devices and burning potentially sensitive data onto CDs.

So what I would like to know is if any users can point me towards an application that we can use to disable USB ports and CD writing for certain users and (if possible) certain PCs. We do have a group policy however my colleague does not believe he can do this with that.

Any help would be fantastic
