@RojoLoco thanks for the wonderful idea .. i know you are the most intelligent guy in this forum..
Wasn't sure you were aware that search engines exist, and that you can use them to find out things. Or should all of us be doing your research for you?
-
if search engine exists why the hell we have this forum ?? better shutdown this forum.

For deeper technical discussions that can't be found on google as easily as an answer to your query. The forum will likely remain, you're free to stay or go, but don't get pissy when you didn't do any basic research before posting here.

Mr @RojoLoco dont try to be smart a** ..such a dumb guy here in this forum...

@nerdydad first try to understand what my question
am looking for a USB Monitoring Tools .. GPO does not monitor the USB it just lock the USB and we are not sure if it has pushed the policy in artist machine..
suppose i have disable USB in all network machines .. when we get a request to enable USB for important artist for few days later when we enabled USB lock it wont work..my request is very simple we need to keep an eye on all machines with log report.. Example GFI Endpoint securityI know what you are wanting. You are wanting a system that monitors the USB ports on client computers, report back to a server of some kind, and to have the capability to turn the USB ports on and off at will.
First, we need to know what environment this is being deployed to, windows or linux. Since you didn't answer the linux question from above, we went down the windows road with you and suggested GPO, which you can pull reports from if you know where and how to get that data.
Second, don't become a smart ass to us when we try to honestly help you, namely directed at me for others comments.

extremely Sorry @NerdyDad .. its for windows environment..

Mod Note:
I kindly request all to be civil as this is a public forum. Please also understand that as a community - we encompass all time zones and languages - and some things just do not translate well into English. I'm not implying that is the case here -

Did a solution get found for this?

No idea. I'm so confused about the whole thing.
-
Maybe Netwrix or something would be good. Although they aren't free (last I knew.)

Sounds like auditing needs to be enabled (a GPO thing) then logs collected from all endpoints, then reports made that look at those logs to show you the data you want. Something like Elk might be able to house the logs centrally and generate the reports you want.

Logging will tell you this.

Why won't enabling locking work?

@scottalanmiller sorry i could not reply back .. am looking for free version paid one i tried GFI Endpoint security already its good.

@dashrender Thanks Dashrender but checking everytime in event log viewer is very painful. like if any one tried to connect a pen drive we shud get a email alert or some kind of msg triggering system would be very helpful.
example : GFI Endpoint security

@nagendra if I have understood it correctly try Comodo One Monitoring tools, ( https://one.comodo.com/rmm.php ) and its Free. if you haven't found any solutions, Hope it helps.

I specifically told you how to get an email, by monitoring the logs with something like ELK. It has rules that will do things based on events in the collected logs.
-
@Dashrender sure i will check ELK ..

Or Graylog, similar but a little easier than ELK.
