hi

we can disable usb usage on computers or group of people

1) need create gpo or add in existing gpo target machines. following registry key hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\usbstor
needs added file system control in gpo & give deny all. disable registry entry on machines recieve settings.
this registry stores driver info usb device, if location disabled usb driver not load external usb device.

2) can use gpo filtering deploying policy on group of users wherever login in domain. perform add these users in security filtering of gpo & assign apply gpo right, not assign authenticated users if u want specify users.

i have tested & deployed solution in production environments.

thanks
