Question : How to block USB Disks using Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller Group Policy

Gentlemen,
I have Windows 2008 R2 AD and Windows XP clients. I have been trying to use the builtin Group Policy settings of Windows 2008 to block access to USB Drives but didnt succeed. I tried Computer and User policies as well. When i notice the policy settings it says atleast Windows vista or 7 is required.

What is the work around in this regard ?

Hi ArabSoft,

Import the attached adm into your local or new computer policy and then go to computer configuration-->Administrative Templates--->Classical Administrative Templates--->Custom Policy--->Restrict Drives--->then enable all polices and then force update and test.

Note: Change the extension of the attached file from .doc to .adm
