Can we add exception in a USB block policy to allow only Specific VPN device

Question

Hi,

We have created a policy to block all USB devices in our company devices. Couple of users has some USB type device to install the VPN and configure it.

Is it possible to only allow those VPN devices for the users to connect and allow them to configure the VPN.

Please let me know if you have any question.

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, yes, it is possible to create a policy that allows specific USB devices while blocking others in Intune. We can use Administrative Templates profile to do this. For more information, please refer to:

Allow only authorized USB devices using Intune

How to block USB Storage devices, but allow specific ones using Intune?

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
