Enable Write Acess to Removable devices while restricting Read Access [Registry/GPO]

0

I'm trying to achieve this point:

  • Disable Read Access to Removable Devices from Registry / GPO
  • Enable Write Access to Removable Devices from Registry / GPO

What I've tried so far:

  • From gpedit.msc enter image description here

Then : gpupdate /force from cmd shell

The Problem:

  • Now trying to paste a test file on the Removable drive to test if write access is granted, and the problem is described in the following animation

enter image description here

Question: How to achieve this goal? enable write access and disable read access to removable devices on Windows clients via any available method.

Are you on a domain/using an active directory? – NiallUK – 2019-07-17T15:22:22.543

@NiallJones Yes! domain with AD, currently testing offline – M. Abdelhafid – 2019-07-17T15:23:22.253

You can't write without read access as writing requires reading the file system. – DavidPostill – 2019-07-17T16:10:05.917

Your question might benefit from explaining why you want to achieve this seemingly-strange combination of 'write-but-no-read' permissions :) – bertieb – 2019-07-17T16:17:08.453

From this page it looks like it's not possible, because write needs read as DavidPostill pointed out
