Hi all,
Looking at allowing non-admins to format their WD Passport 2.5" USB drives.
These are domain users, using a GP that has the "Devices: Allowed to format
and eject removable media" set to "Administrators and Interactive Users"
already (I have done everything I know of to ensure this setting is ACTUALLY
applied - even gone so far as to disable the GP, and hard-coded the registry
key to allow 'interactive users' the ability to format removable drives). I
cannot get anyone but a DOMAIN ADMIN to format the USB drive.
This is on HP D7700's. My only thought currently, is that the USB drive may
not be recognized as removable? It does show up in the "safely remove" list,
but does not show up as removable media in the 'removable media' portion when
managing "my Computer."
Any ideas?
