Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
DeviceLock gives network administrators control over which users can
access what devices (floppies, USB, FireWire, Infrared, serial and parallel
ports, Magneto-Optical disks, CD-ROMs, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) on a local
computer. Once DeviceLock is installed, administrators can control access to
floppies, CD-ROMs or any other device, depending on the time of day and day of
the week. DeviceLock enhances access control for Windows System Administrators
and helps control removable disk usage. It can protect network and local
computers against viruses, trojans and other malicious programs often injected
from removable disks. Network administrators can also use DeviceLock to flush a
storage device's buffers. Remote control is also available.
With DeviceLock you can:
- Control which users or groups can access floppies, CD-ROMs and other
removable devices
- Control which users or groups can access USB, FireWire and Infrared ports
- Control which users or groups can access WiFi and Bluetooth adapters
- Control access to devices depending on the time of day and day of the week
- Protect disks from accidental or intentional formatting
- Flush unsaved file buffers (very useful for removable media)
- Control all functions remotely
- Install and uninstall it automatically.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install DeviceLock you MUST have administrative privileges.
Run "setup.exe". You'll need to select the target directory for the install.
If you install DeviceLock on an NTFS partition, Setup protects DeviceLock's
directory and files by allowing only members of the Administrators group or
the SYSTEM account to access DeviceLock's files or to uninstall DeviceLock.
If you wish to install DeviceLock without an user intervention you should run
DeviceLock Setup with the /s parameter (e.g. "c:\setup.exe /s"). This gives an
install that can be used from within a batch file. There is a special
configuration file for silent setup: devicelock.ini. With this file, you can
customize the DeviceLock installation parameters. For example:
1. "Lock Devices" parameters. Only members of the special local group,
the operating system and the local administrators will have access to
the devices on the local computer if one of these parameters is enabled:
Floppy - floppy drive
Removable - removable device
CDROM - CD-ROM, DVD-ROM
Serial - serial port (COM)
Parallel - parallel port (LPT)
Tape - tape device
USB - USB port
IRDA - infrared port
FireWire - IEEE 1394 port (FireWire)
Bluetooth - bluetooth adapter
WiFi - WiFi (802.11) adapter
If the parameter CreateGroups is enabled another special local group
will be automatically created:
Allow_Access_to_Floppy
Allow_Access_to_Removable
Allow_Access_to_CDRom
Allow_Access_to_Serial
Allow_Access_to_Parallel
Allow_Access_to_Tape
Allow_Access_to_USB
Allow_Access_to_Infrared
Allow_Access_to_FireWire
Allow_Access_to_Bluetooth
Allow_Access_to_WiFi
Otherwise if a group does not exist on the local computer, only the
operating system and the local administrators will have access to the
device.
If parameters CtrlUSBHID, CtrlUSBPrint or CtrlUSBBth are enabled,
DeviceLock controls security for Human Input Devices (mouse, keyboard),
printers/scanners or Bluetooth adapters plugged into the USB port. Also,
if the CtrlFWNet parameter is enabled, DeviceLock controls FireWire and USB
network cards. Otherwise, even if ports (USB and/or FireWire) are locked,
these devices continue to function as usual.
In the AccessTo... parameter, you can specify the account (user name, local
or global group) that will have the access to a device (e.g. AccessToFloppy
for floppy drives). Setup assigns the Full access right including the Allow
Format and Allow Eject privileges for the account specified in this
parameter. Please note that the account must exist before it can be
assigned to a device type.
2. "Install" parameters:
Service - DeviceLock Service and its related files will be installed
Manager - DeviceLock Manager and its related files will be installed
Documents - documentation (DeviceLock Manual.pdf) will be installed
To specify a destination directory for DeviceLock, you can supply
the parameter InstallDir
If you have the registration key-file for DeviceLock, you can specify
a directory with this file in the parameter RegFileDir
3. "Misc" parameters:
Run - this parameter is used to launch an application or execute a batch
file after a successful install.
