RE: USB ports Network

Hello,

Each drive will create an admin share.  You can simply look at how many
admin shares your machines have (try to map to f$, g$, etc through
script.)

Also, you can restrict access to drives via GPO.  So, even if the build
team forgets to disable the drive in the BIOS, AD won't allow access.

Kind Regards,

Subject: USB ports Network

Hi All,

We got Windows 2003 AD domain with all the workstations/servers as
Windows 
2000/XP/2003/Vista. As part of our security policy we do not keep the
USB 
ports enabled and disable them from BIOS itself. But we want to make
sure 
that there are no machines which have USB port left enabled by mistake.
 Is there any way/software whereby we can check/scan the ports remotely
on 
the domain?

Thanks in advance.
