    we are doing the same for the time being but now
    system come with USB mouse and hence the problem. Is
    it possible to restrict by some means this USB port to
    use only USB mouse?

    Is there a tool or someway to detect all systems on
    the domain where USB port is open? <As a cross-check
    and to be double sure>

    Best regards,
    Sanjiv
