If you want to prevent users from using USB drives on your Windows Server 2008 R2 machines, you can use Group Policy to disable or enable USB drives. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) and create a new GPO linked to the OU where your servers are located. Name it "Disable USB Access".

2. Edit the GPO and go to 

Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Removable Storage Access.

3. In this section, you will find several policies that allow you to control access to different types of removable storage devices, such as CD/DVDs, floppy disks, tapes, etc. To disable USB drives, enable the policy "Removable Disks: Deny read access" and "Removable Disks: Deny write access".



4. Close the GPO editor and wait for the policy to be applied on your servers. You can force a policy update by running gpupdate /force on the servers or by restarting them.

5. To verify that the policy is working, try to connect a USB drive to one of your servers and see if you can access it. You should get an error message saying, "Access is denied".
