Suppress USB Disabled Messages
Hi there, I've recently enabled securing of USB for my company's domain. There were options to disable CD/DVD as well and I have checked those too. All the functions work fine and well however my desktop users are prompted with the storage device block message prompt each time they login since obviously DC would detect the CD/DVD ROM as it's forever connected. Is there anyway to suppress these messages? Regards, Ernest

USB policy with desktop central
Hello everyone, I am new in the products of ManageEngine and I am learning now, but I was searching for an option to block USB with Desktop Central.

Do I need to redeploy the configuration? Also, if I want to exclude devices and we want one more excluded device, is there an option that it will apply to all

Secure USB and RoadWarriors
Hi all. I am testing DesktopCentral and i need some info about secure usb. Is there any way to enable USB Devices when a user is not at my company network? (users that have laptop for both personal/company use lets say) I tried with a script that checks if the domain controllers respond to ping, and if they don't, it stops the DesktopCentral service, but it didn't work probably because the agent makes registry changes. Deploying user configuration instead of computer configuration is not an option.

Real-Time USB Audit Alerts....
Hi, I have seen some posts about supporting real-time USB audit alerting in the near future. This is a feature we are desperate for. There are some users we simply want to monitor rather than block. The USB audit report can only be sent daily. This greatly restricts our ability to be reactive with users who are permitted to use their USB ports.... Is there a road-map for this? We literally want to be notified immediately when certain users plug a device in to USB, and right now the only way (in
