Hi,

We have a lot of portable usb harddisks in our company. I would like to protect the access to this portable drives. Why can I do this? The drives must be readable with win2000 and winxp. All drives are formatted with NTFS.

Thanks
 
If they're NTFS, you can set security descriptors to block network access to
the data on the drives. ACLs don't protect against physical compromise,
though - you'll need some kind of encryption if that's the threat you're
defending against.
