Finally, x64 device control polcies are working. Been waiting for these for a long time.
So once upon a time, we had set up our policies for the very few x32 machines we had left. Now, those are all gone and only x64 in the network.
I rolled out SEP 12.1 without thinking too much about these old policies that were still implemented.
* * * * The Problem * * * *
After rolling out SEP, I started getting lots of phone calls that "drives" were dissappearing on the users. Investigating further, I noticed that I has "storgae volumes" blocked in my policies.
The machines have: 2 1 TB striped together creating a Volume. So once I removed that portion of the policy everything came back to normal. I added blocking of USB devices and I have some testing to do. But if I recall correctly, way back when (SEP 11.1) Storage Volumes was the generic term given for all Thumb Drives, Phones, Pads, etc. Is this still the case?
I wanted to create an exception for the Volumes, but the GUID is exactly the same as the default "Storage Volumes".
Any suggestions or insight for USB, Pads, phones, etc?
Thanks.
