Unauthorized USB Storage Device Template

This template creates a configuration that checks if an an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device. It can be found in the UNAUTHORIZED USB DEVICE category when filtered for REMOTE platform.

If an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device, you can choose between two actions:

  • Denies access to the session if an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device.
  • Displays a message in the session if an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device.

deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your remoting and DaaS environments. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your remoting or DaaS environment.

We will perform the following steps:

  1. Step 1: Prerequisites
  2. Step 2: Contexts
  3. Step 3: Actions

Step 1: Prerequisites

If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console, Client Extension and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Remote guide and complete step 1 to 5 and then continue here with step 2 below.

Step 2: Contexts

The template has imported the following contexts:

Context Description Customizations
Unauthorized USB Storage Device
 
 
 
 		 Defines if an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device.
 
 
 
 		 You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:

REMOTE - LOGICAL DISK IDENTITY Not Equals 0x000,0x000,ABC123456
When checking for unauthorized USB devices, add all of your authorized USB devices by Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID) and / or Serial Number.
Example: 0x0781,0x5567,4C530000110526106001 SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Device.
Note:
  • If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.

Step 3: Actions

The template includes a notifying action that displays a message to the user about a context status and an enforcement action that actively controls access to the session. By default, only the notifying action is enabled and the enforcement action is disabled.

Action Description Default State Customizations
Unauthorized USB Storage Device Enforcement Denies access to the session if an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device. Deactivated None
Unauthorized USB Storage Device Notification Displays a message in the session if an unauthorized USB storage device is plugged into the remote device. Activated None
Note:
  • If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
  • If both actions have been activated, the deny access task will take priority over the displaying of the notification message.
