    I think I know the answer, but I wanted to double check.  Is there any way to configure the USB device control in 11.06 to block someone from changing the boot order in the BIOS and booting into a PE off of the USB?  I'm thinking that since SEP using class and device IDs from the OS, that there isn't...since all of this can occur before the system boots into the OS.  We use USB device blocking to prevent people from transferring data to removable media, but this is all after the operating system has booted.  Anyone have any ideas...other than of course locking down the bios and restricting the boot order.

    Thanks
