[Year 12 IPM] usb memory sticks

[pco]

Our Network Manager and Network Tech are legends, we have locked down
policies, but still have the students able to use USB sticks (just like when
they used floppys) but..... there are now some USB sticks that have an
executable on them that makes them seem to be a CD RW to windows, as our
policy disallows executables to run on USB, these USB sticks cannot be used.
Our reaction to that is stiff, get an el-cheapo memory stick that doesn't do
anything fancy that is JUST FOR STORAGE and transport.

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] usb memory sticks


Hello all,
 
Our network manager has encountered a number of problems with student memory
sticks ruining computers. He wants to ban memory sticks. I was wondering if
any list members had any policy relevant to this issue.
 
Thanks
