We are having some problems with a customised model of a USB Flash pen
drive.
The initial model we had consisted of a floppy partition and removable
disk. This worked fine and all users (inc. standard users) could run
the security program (that ran from the floppy partition) which opened
up the removable disk partition for access.
Now with the customised version it consists of a small CDROM partition
(read-only) that contains the security program and the removable disk.
The security program (which has been modified by the manufacturers)
will now only work with admin rights.
They suggested changing the group policy "allowed to eject removable
NTFS media" under Computer Configuration > Windows Settings >Security
Settings >Local Policies >Security Options.
I tried this on a test domain changing from "not defined" to allow
"Administrators and Interactive Users" and this resolved the issue.
But I am stumped as to why? The Users could already eject/remove the
media; the issue is with running the password program.
The original pen drive did not require this right so the only things
that have changed are the security program and the move to a CDROM
partition and removable disk.
Our users actually have power user rights, though the test domain I
used, they have user rights only.
Is anyone able to shed any light on this? Here's hoping
Many Thanks
