SEPM12.1 - Antivirus

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Do we have any planning in next version for user based policy. i.e currently if i need to block usb it is based on the computer and this is not a standard practise. can we apply user base policy in SEPM12?

The better way is to set up all computers in "User Mode".
Administration Guide for Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Network Access
> Section 1. Basic Administrative Tasks
> Setting up your organizational structure
> Understanding users and computers & Managing Users and Computers
The policies are then set depending on the user that has logged into the machine

please consider below two points:
1. MY SEPM is not interagreted with AD
2. we dont wont to apply user based policy on all computer or group.
we dont wont to apply user based polcy on spacific group only.
the existing version has the feature you looking for. you need to set user mode.
Cheers!

As far as I understand, blocking USB through group policy will be better in your scenario. Because even though it is possible keeping some clients under user mode and some other under computer mode, it is not advisable.
