Endpoint Protection

HI

I am implenting a device control and i want block the phones charging in the workstations. How can I make this?

Have you applied a block policy?

Yes, but the device charging yet. I want block this.

Yea, judging by this question here on the forums in the past, no one has ever been able to get it to work. The device itself is blocked from being used but charging cannot be blocked.

The charging isn't a feature of the USB, it's just the device using the voltage supplied by the USB port, which the ports are always supplying, sometimes even when the computer is off.

Here is some external document for the more knowledge

Hello,

If a USB device is disabled with SEP's Device Control then the operating system will power down that device.

On Windows 2000, XP and 2003 Devices such as Androids, iPods, cameras and other types of portable devices will not be able to get charged.  On newer operating systems such as Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 2008 the operating system will allow the devices to receive power even if they are disabled.
