Preferred Removable Storage Devices may be optionally entered into a list, permitting only the 
authorized devices access when the global setting is used at a location (see “Storage Device 
Control” on page 112 for more details). Devices entered into this list MUST have a serial number.

To enter a preferred device, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Insert the device into the USB port on the machine that the Management Console is 

installed on. 

Step 2: Once the device is ready, click the Scan button. If the device has a serial number, its 

Description and Serial Number will display on the list. 

Step 3: Select a setting from the drop-down list (the Global Removable Device setting will not be 

applied for this policy): 

•

Enable - The devices on the preferred list are permitted full read/write capabil-
ity, all other USB and other external storage devices are disabled 

•

Read-Only - The devices on the preferred list are permitted read-only capabil-
ity, all other USB and other external storage devices are disabled 

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each device that will be permitted in this policy. All devices will have the 
same setting applied.

Location-based Storage Device Control settings will override the global settings. For example, you may 
define that at the Work location, all external storage devices are permitted, while allowing only the global 
default at all other locations, limiting users to the devices on the preferred list.

The Novell USB Drive Scanner Application generates a list of devices and their serial numbers 
(See “USB Drive Scanner” on page 65.). To import this list, click Import and browse to the list. 
The list will populate the Description and Serial Number fields.
