Which part doesn't work? Also if you're not running at least 2012 R2 I don't want to help.

@dustinb3403 Windows server 2012 R2 does not have the PnPDevice is a module, so it doesn't work

Okay, so your powershell version needs to be updated, can you run
(Get-Host).Versionto update you'll likely need to update .net as well. -
@dustinb3403 It's not powershell but modules.
I've upgraded to 5.1 but this PnpDevie module option doesn't have for 2012 R2 -

I don't have the exact process off hand but will take a look.

@zsvendo Try the below and adjust the above to work for your environment.
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_PnPEntity | where {$_.Name -Like "USB*"} | Ft Name, Description, Manufacturer, DeviceIDShould do what's needed based on my testing, granted Windows 10 but this is the legacy approach.
Edited the command to include the DeviceID (not screenshotted) but should work

@dustinb3403 This command you sent me worked, I just need to see how to disable USB, you know?

I don't off hand, its one of the reasons I didn't want to support an older OS. I did have this process sorted out previously as I came across the same issue but scrapped the documentation since it was decided that "it wasn't worth bothering"
-
@dustinb3403 because the servers are licensed I can't change it to a more current one.
But PnpDevice is the best -
@dustinb3403 I even managed to make devcon.exe disable USB
but I wanted with this command you sent
