This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello,

In Endpoint Protection Manager (version 12.1.2015) I created a policy and tested it on my own workstation.  Under Device Control\Blocked Devices I added "CD/DVD Drives".  It worked Great!  My DVD drive totally disappeared.  BUT ... Now I want my DVD drive back so I removed "CD/DVD Drives" from the list ... however, my DVD drive will not reappear.

In my client I have updated the policy profile.  I have waited 2 days and have reboot my system several times.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Terry

You need simply to update the policy on the system.

You can wait for it to update at the heartbeat or you can force the update from the icon.

Once this is done, it will detect and reinitialize the drive.

Thanks Ashish ... and everyone else who commented!

Enabling in device manager worked.

Thanks again!

That's fine that it worked but it seems it should automatically be re-enabled once the policy is updated (or withdrawn)
