Hi there, While this is definitely possible, it wouldn't account for people that use tethering over their phone using Bluetooth + GPRS/EV-DO/etc. The reason for this is that the modems are only installed temporarily, and your scan could potentially miss them. Perhaps a better strategy would be to target the drivers themselves: prevent people from installing drivers for their CDMA phones, etc. I don't know if there is a feature on Windows to support this domain-wide, but there probably is in light of some companies that disable use of USB Mass Storage drivers to protect potential data theft. I hope this helps. Regards, Jonathan Yu. On 8/22/07, nimdA <nimda1 () gmail com> wrote:
Hi I 'm seeking about a tool which shows me all the machines that have a modem installed. We have a windows network (windows 2003 – windows XP) and we would like to make sure that there are no any modems used inside the network. We found some cases that the users used him phone mobile to get access to the internet to him PC through GPRS. They pass all the security mechanisms that we implement in order to secure the access to the internet. So, are there any tools which can scan the machines and show a report with all the modems that installed on the machines? I find a tool which try to find the modem by dialing all the organization's phone numbers, that wouldn't help. I'm looking for tools that bring all the installed modems by looking at the "Network Connections" on the machine.
