I have a Windows 2008 R2 domain with windows 7, and Windows XP SP3 client workstations.
I have a group policy to deny all access to removable storage in policies/administrative templates/system in user configuration (actually its in the computer configuration as well)
The problem is the policy is having no effect on the Windows XP machines. It works perfectly on Windows 7 machines.
Group policy in general is working on the Windows XP machines, as I can successfully map drives, push out scheduled tasks, and push out printers. (All preferences I know and I have GP Preferences client side extensions installed).
Its almost like the windows XP machines can't "understand" the admin templates from Windows Server 2008 R2.
Do I need to install something on the windows XP machines? What could be the problem?
