I can prevent them from doing anything by telling Vista not to interact with that device ID. For all intents and purposes, the iPod to PC interface will not exist.
iPods have no place on a corporate network. I don't mind users bringing them in and using them--just don't attach them to my machines. A few months back, we spent a significant period of time troubleshooting Outlook issues that turned out to be caused by an iTunes plugin that can sync with the iPod. That's time we shouldn't have had to spend. When you have 100+ machines to maintain and are charged with ensuring employee productivity, it becomes a whole new ball game...
