    Good day everyone,

    Quick question. How do I block copying from CD/DVD drives with RU5? THe users can read from the CD/DVD but I don't want them copying the data to their computers.

    Here is a KB that descibes the

    "Block copy and execution of specific files from an USB."

    This configuration may work for CD/DVD drives as well.

    You can block CD/DVDs entirely (both read and write) but you can not make them read-only with SEP
