Hi,
Is there a GPO setting or something I can do to let regular users install a
removable usb hard drive? I have 20 different users with 10 different drives
that need to work on 25 PCs, does this mean I need to install 250 drives?
Thanks in advance!

The users shouldn't have to do anything. Just plug in the drive and
Windows will recognize it.

It doesn't. Even after I installed a couple of models, every time a new one
is inserted the found new hardware pops up and tells the user they need admin
privileges to install the drive...
