Help my management have asked me to disable all the A: on 200 workstations.
Does anyone know how to do it easy. I don't want to manually disble the drive as management will want to access any pc and be able to use the a:. I found floplocker but am having problems please help.
Have you tried the policy editor?
A hardware solution for about ~$4 per computer. Put a physical lock on it. Managing the keys might present a problem unless you can have them all keyed the same.
I haven't used policy editor for this, but know you can do it that way too.
Devicelock is a great utility that we use (not for a: drive, but I believe that you can).

The best way to do it is in the bios & apply a password for further changes to the bios. Policies can always be circumvented in my experience. In a school, library, etc this is a must. Of course, this implies you visit all 200 machines. You might also consider pulling out or unplugging CD-ROMs. In my experience, they are a far greater problem than a floppy.
There might be some utlities around somewhere that you can set up so they autorun - sorry don't know of any.
