Enable 'Users' to install USB Drivers


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Two days, two issues, joy...

We have a group of computers that allow users to plug in USB Devices (data sticks) and it installs the drivers without prompting them for administrator credentials.

However, on 4 of these 20 machines it prompts the user to enter administrator credentials and we can't figure out why.

We've checked Local Policies, Group Policies, USBStor.ini file, groups the users are in, groups the computers are in, we can't find anything that is different between a machine it works on and a machine it doesnt.

We thought that it might be down to luck with the drivers being part of Windows but we tried one of our USB sticks in a problem machine and got prompted for credentials, same stick in the other machines and it just installed the USB Drivers without issue.

OS: Windows XP (moving to Windows 7 shortly but still need to get this sorted)

Any further information you need let me know.

Cheers,

Andy
