Re: "Access Denied" with encrypted USB device

Hi dennis,

Thanks for the reply.

The device is a sandisk cruzer and the encryption is sanctuary from lumension.

Autorun is disabled accross the domain and the PC's "should" be a standard
build.

I have never seen the Access Denied message before. I could understand it
if it poped up that you dont have sufficient privaleges but it does this with
every account I try on the computer.

Its a real puzzler!

Cheers

Hi,

I am having some problems with encrypted USB devices. On certain XP SP2
machines when I plug in a usb drive with sopftware encryption on it it comes
up with an Access Denied message if you try and open the drive. It maps the
drive to a drive letter but shows as being 0 Bytes in size.

It does this even if you are logged in as a domain admin.

The frustrating thing is that its only on certain machines. They are all
different hardware and there doesnt seem to be any pattern. If I remove the
encryption software then the drives work fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

J
