Find the software on the drive and runas it for him and install it, should only need to be done once. Or tell the user to hit cancel, their type of thumbdrive isn't supported. Depends what your policy is on that kind of stuff.
Or fdisk/delete the software installation for them if they don't need the software, get rid of it for them. -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: can't mount usb drives without admin permissions I've googled a bit and seems that i'm not the first one seeing this. The funny thing is that I'm required admin credentials but if i cancel, i can still access the data. It seems that it requires the admin credential to install the software? That's a little bit weird, isn't it? I have tried to change local policies and allowing to format and eject removable devices as some people suggest, but no love... Any ideas?
