USB Blocking in Windows Vista Release Candidate 1
Thursday, October 5th, 2006
One of the favorite enterprise features of Microsoft Windows Vista, USB device installations, gets 
even better in RC1. You may have heard stories of some IT departments going so far as to pour glue into USB ports in an attempt comply with data protection regulations, by preventing users from copying sensitive information onto external storage devices or to protect from malicious software that could be on the device.
In Windows Vista there’s a better, less messy way. You can use group policy to control what types of devices users can and cannot install. What makes it better in Windows Vista RC1 is that you can now display a custom error message to the user explaining why their device will not install, so they don’t have to call the help desk.
