This issue has been solved. See solution.

    I'm now set up device control to only allow some authenticated USB device connect our computer. But when I use DevViewer.exe to get device ID, I found that the Device ID of some DCs will change:

eg: I have a DC , it's Device ID is: USB\VID_132B&PID_0013\5&7C41E62&0&1 , when i connect it to anothercomputer , 5&*********&0&1 will chage.

if wildcard is supported, I can use the DC on every computer, otherwise, i need to add a lot of Device ID for ONE DC.....

Re;

The device ID is unique, and when you add exclusions to device control, if im not mistaken is Class ID.

I think what you can do is create a separate group allowed users (e.x. VIP)for their device control policy, to allow their usb device access.

Yes you can. For Device ID we

Yes you can.

For Device ID we also we support the use of wildcards "*" and "?":
• Asterisk (*) means zero or more of any character
• Question mark (?) means a single character of any value
Examples:
• Any USB storage device: USBSTOR*
• Any USB disk: USBSTOR\DISK*
• Any USB SanDisk drive: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK*
• Specific SanDisk device:
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_SANDISK&PROD_CRUZER_MICRO&REV_2033\0002071406&0
• Specific Kingston device: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_KINGSTON&PROD_DTSECURE_PRIVACY*
