  • 1.  How To Restrict Removable Storage Access?

    Posted Feb 17, 2010 04:01 AM
    Hello! Please help me in restricting the removable drives.

    Scenario:
    I will be implementing Truecrypt to my USB drive. Truecrypt is an open-source software for data encryption. The said software consists the ff files:
    a. truecrypt.exe

    b. truecrypt.sys

    c. truecrypt-x64.sys

    d. configuration.xml

    e. restrict



    These were my conditions:

    1. By default, all files( exe, xls, txt, reg, bat, jpg etc) must be blocked except Truecrypt components stated above and .doc files.
    2. The policy be used is Application Control.

    Thanks in advance.

    The policy I have created only missed the * sign.

    Thanks for the help!
