Dear all,

This script will disable USB for writing data to mobile devices, on local computer.

On Error Resume Next
message = "This script will prevent Windows XP from writing to storage devices via USB." + vbcr + vbcr
message = message + "Continue?"
result = msgBox(message, VBYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 + vbSystemModal, "Disable Writing to USB Storage Devices")
If result = vbCancel Then
WScript.Quit
End If
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbstor\Start", 4, "REG_DWORD" '3=Unlock / 4=Lock
message = "Please reboot your computer for changes to take effect." + vbcr + vbcr
MsgBox message, vbOKOnly, "Disable Writing to USB Storage Devices"
Set WshShell = Nothing
Wscript.Quit

I have 1.000 computers in an access database that I need to run this script. Can anyone help me make this script read computers from database and run this?
Thanks!

If you want to do this on various remote computers you will need to make sure you have administrative rights and rather than use WScript.Shell to write to the registry you will need to look at using WMI and the StdRegProv.....do a search and you'll find plenty of examples on writing values using WMI.
