  • 1.  enable charging of iphones on desktop

    Posted Nov 26, 2014 02:04 AM

    hi,

    i successfully locked down all mobile devices with SEPM.

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-disable-mobile-devices-sepm

    when they plug the mobile phones Windows did not recognize them as USB Mass Storage device.

    all they can do is to charge the mobile phone.

    BUT,

    when the user plugs the phone to Windows, it is not charging.

     

    Question:

    is it possible somehow to leave disabled and at the same time users could charge the iphone devices?

    as i understand,

    it is impossible to block access on iphone mobile devices and sametime allow iphone to charge itself.

    if you follow this , then changing is allowed

    since you have blocked using vendor type, charging & Mass storage is blocked.

    Iphone charging process is different from other phone. It has a single device id for storage and charging cell. Iphone charging will not be allowed before the installation of drivers.

    You can have access the charging with third party utility as the forum said.

    Blocking iPhone device, would allow it to charge. But cannot block charging it...
