    There is no option in SEPM to log USB devices when they connect. You would need to use a third party tool or perhaps some scripting for this.

    If you want to log all USB activity, check this out.

    Policy to LOG activity in a USB drive by Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP)

    @Manuel, what is the purpose of logging the USB drive into the client ?

    Suppose the USB drive got so many name or being renamed often then it would defeat the purpose of reporting it to the SEPM ?

    Dushan is right,

    it has sence if you wan to use it to avoid for example data leaks.

    or to determine who copied some sensitive information and etc.
