disable USB in AD with MS template and GPO
Dear Peoples,
MS 2003 with XP clients
I have followed the online (many) instructions on how to disable the USB from the AD.
I have implemented the .adm with a Test Group, but...
this does not take effect, how do I publish or make active this policy to see the results on a client ?
I have tried the 'gpupdate' command on the client but this refreshes nothing - I am guessing the policy has not been made active from the AD, should I be closing windows or running a command ??? what is the default delay for the updates and where can I modify this.
many thanks - the BIG 500 points because this one is really annoying.

I'm not too sure what steps you've taken so far and I wonder if you've actually created the group policy object against the Organizational Unit that contains your workstation accounts? Please look at the following page and follow the steps - in conjunction with the instructions you've already read regarding the .adm etc - and see if it works.
