if you JUST want to disable the USB drive in the physical server, use a registry hack:

backup before editing the registry!


you can also check out this software, which is easier to use than group policy:

A question about this,
If you employ the *adm file created via the above link, does it disable the USB ports altogether or just write access to it (thus deny writing to USB Storage devices but allowing usb keyboards scanners etc)?

Just wondering because i would like to use this setting myself however some machines have usb keyboards and mouses. Also i would imagine cameras wouldbe considered usb storage so those will be denied access as well. Can someone enlighten me on this?
Thanks

mean, the best thing to do is restrict physical access to your server so that only Admins can get to it. Users shouldn't have physical access to a server.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
