Read-Only USB custom Policy for Windows XP using Domain GPO.

HI, back again to the blog. This time I have been doing research for the ‘GROUP POLICY EDITOR’ for server 2008 R2 and Server 2012. During my research I found that ‘GPMC’ is a quite vast tool and can control almost everything of the system on AD. Here I have created a custom group policy to block the USB drive.

Some of you may ask why I need to create USB drive although I do have already a policy on the server to block USB. But if you read this policy carefully you will find out that this policy is for only the OS which are higher version than Windows Vista (i.e. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8). But if someone ask you for Windows XP than??? What will you do?? If someone ask you for make a read-only policy for USB on windows XP. What will you do again?? So Simply I have created a custom Policy that can be compatible with windows XP or any other Windows Platform OS. Copy this code, Paste on notepad and save it in the extension of ‘.adm’.

Some days ago when we few friends meet carrying our laptop we try to play the game with each other, connecting the laptop to a local access point… and if there is absence of that access point then the day use to be worse…we only don’t get the medium to connect our laptop and enjoy the game. And also if we forget to carry the AP then also we were ruined to our whole plan…but not those days were like to be old….we don’t need to carry any router or any other medium to connect our laptops.

But the only disadvantage of that virtual XP mode was that it is only accessible to the hardware or processor which support the Hardware-Assisted Virtualization (HAV) technology i.e. Virtualization. And lot of we have to check whether our processor supports the virtualization or not and also some of we may have got this error also.
