- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- DeviceLock gives network administrators control over which users can
- access what devices (floppies, serial and parallel ports, Magneto-Optical
- disks, CD-ROMs, ZIPs, 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 devices
-
- - 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
- RamDisk - virtual (RAM) disk
- Serial - serial port (COM)
- Parallel - parallel port (LPT)
- Tape - tape device
-
- 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_RamDisk
- Allow_Access_to_Serial
- Allow_Access_to_Parallel
- Allow_Access_to_Tape
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
