my requirement is to monitor/enable or disable USB device connected in network PC (windows,linux,MAC).Windows can generally control USB access via GPO and ADUC - at least in a domain environment.
HOWTO: Use Group Policy to disable USB, CD-ROM, Floppy Disk and LS-120 drivers
It would be basically the same way but managing it on a computer level.
As for something you can just send a command to - third party - I'm not sure on that.

@gjacobse Thanks but in GPO policy we cant see the usage report..

If you're asking about Linux tools and you don't understand that question, you probably don't need Linux tools.

Have what in windows? A Linux distro? Nope. Tools for USB monitoring? Yes, it's called GPO and has been mentioned several times already. And it is free.

As long as you have already purchased AD...or you want to go to each desktop and do local GPOs, which would be a chore.

@nerdydad first try to understand what my question
am looking for a USB Monitoring Tools .. GPO does not monitor the USB it just lock the USB and we are not sure if it has pushed the policy in artist machine..
suppose i have disable USB in all network machines .. when we get a request to enable USB for important artist for few days later when we enabled USB lock it wont work..my request is very simple we need to keep an eye on all machines with log report.. Example GFI Endpoint security -

Wasn't sure you were aware that search engines exist, and that you can use them to find out things. Or should all of us be doing your research for you?
-

For deeper technical discussions that can't be found on google as easily as an answer to your query. The forum will likely remain, you're free to stay or go, but don't get pissy when you didn't do any basic research before posting here.

Mr @RojoLoco dont try to be smart a** ..such a dumb guy here in this forum...

Example GFI Endpoint securityI know what you are wanting. You are wanting a system that monitors the USB ports on client computers, report back to a server of some kind, and to have the capability to turn the USB ports on and off at will.
First, we need to know what environment this is being deployed to, windows or linux. Since you didn't answer the linux question from above, we went down the windows road with you and suggested GPO, which you can pull reports from if you know where and how to get that data.
Second, don't become a smart ass to us when we try to honestly help you, namely directed at me for others comments.

extremely Sorry @NerdyDad .. its for windows environment..
