Does anyone know of a good and resonably inexpensive third party application that can prevent USB storage devices (USB thumb drives) at the domain level. I would like to be able to give ceratin users the right to use this type of technology, but prevent unauthorized useage throughout the domain. If not a thrid party app, are there any GPO scripts that can do what I need? I have tried a few of the scripts online;however, sometimes users are still able to use the drives even when I force a GPO update on the workstation.
