I agree with Streaker, they need to offer the "Admin" packs of 100 or so. What would be even neater is if they had some piece of circuitry in it where a small program pushed on the system checks to see if they are there. If one is removed it lets you know WHOSE pc did it. The main server could be set up so that when your IT minions set it up, they input the system ID, and how many ports it has and how which ones have the locks. This way if some manager needs his BB, you can leave one open.
However, if one is left open, who is to stop them from bringing in a hub?

I like that idea. Even if every single one just had a serial number and you installed a small piece of software.
I just wrote ThinkGeek an email saying they should carry an AdminPack of the locks.
It would be good in my case where I have process control machines and contractors come in and plug in things they shouldn't be plugging in.
GPO works well, I realize that, problem is, it can also work against the local admin at the same time. This is a quick and simple way to secure the USB ports and still make them available to the local admin quickly.
