Hi oBdA, Just had a look at the devicelock webby.. quite expensive i would say. <br />
<br />
I have tried all the available methods mentioned here and from google. Seems like there is no straightforward method, except if all the clients are Win XP (i wish..). Regarding the Win XP method which is to add a registry key StorageDevicePolicies, with a DWORD entry of WriteProtect with value of 1. Can i push this down using GP? I will need a step by step guide cos i've tried can i can't seem to add any new keys. <br />

Is this possible? I know for Windows XP i can make the drive Read Only by adding a registry key. Is this also possible for Windows 2000? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is this also achievable on Win98/NT/ME/95 using maybe system policies?

Group Policy - Restrict USB Thumbdrive, but allow scanners/digital cams for Win XP/2000

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
