Ben,
Yes, I know. I had very a very cordial relationship with my company's IT
folk. For a time I was one too, but that was before Windows! In a corp.
network, somebody has to be the cop. Tough job all around.
Hat's off to anyone who works a corp. IT job. JMHO.
Best,
Duncan

Thanks Ben,
That is really what I was trying to not so gracefully get to.
I agree with this totally. IT gets to be "internet" COP. That is what the
folks are paid for. Whether we like this or not is a separate discussion.
Best,
Duncan

Yes you most certainly prevent people from attaching any sort of device
to a computer.
How is this playing God if these are corporate PC's? Users plugging in
ipods, flash drives, etc. is a security risk. End users should not be
using their company owned computers for anything but doing work.

You can't prevent people from attaching their iPods to their machines.
Perhaps you can prevent them from using them as they are intended to be
used....
But why do you need to play god?
