Acl of the serial ports

Hi all

Can I control the access to the serial ports with gp? I have users
with limited rights on the computers. On some of these computers is
software installed which need "local administrator" rights.

I know how to grant access rights to registry keys and files, but is
it possible to control the access rights of the serial ports?

Hi Holger,

there are commercial packages that you can purchase to control access
to devices such as serial ports, floppy, cd-roms, etc on a per user
basis. You cannot control this natively through Group Policy.

I went through the same problem. So what I did was to use the devcon
utility (a sort of command-line device manager) with a startup script.
This, however, control access to devices on a per machine basis.
Simply create a group for each device and enumerate them at startup of
the computer.

Bye
Bar
