Just wondering if there was an easy way to disable thumb drives on multiple computers without disabling the keyboard at the same time.

We went through and disabled the usb port in the BIOS of a few computers, and found out the usb keyboard stopped working on bootup.

thanks
 
There is a new application called USB Admin Pro. It will centrally restrict all removable drives in a network. The cool thing about it is, is that you can enable specific removable media to work in any restricted computer. That way if you want, you can give special people the right to use them anywhere, and restrict everyone else.

 
Awesome! That will be perfect. Looks like they are giving a free thumb drive out too.

Thanks again.
