Trusting devices using wildcard pattern

Instead of specifying individual Device Instance Paths, a common wildcard pattern can be used to trust a group of similar devices. In order to trust devices using wildcard pattern,

1. Navigate to Policies> Trusted devices> Trust devices using wildcards.
2. Specify the wildcard pattern created using Device Instance Path and wildcards "*" and "?".
3. Click Add.

To create a wildcard pattern,

• Replace the variable characters in the Device Instance Path with a wildcard character "*" or "?".
• Use "?" to replace a single variable character.
• Use "*" to replace more than one variable character.

Examples:

Device Instance Path of a USB storage device:

Device: JetFlash Transcend 2GB

Path: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_JETFLASH&PROD_TRANSCEND_2GB&REV_8.07\G27IDL4A&0

Wildcard pattern with an asterisk "*":

Pattern:  USBSTOR*

Description: All USB storage devices will be classified as trusted, irrespective of the string of characters in the Device Instance Paths after "USBSTOR".

Wildcard pattern with question mark"?" and asterisk "*":

Pattern: USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_JETFLASH&PROD_TRANSCEND_?GB&REV_8.07\*

Description: JetFlash Transcend USB storage devices of memory 2, 4, or 8 GB will be classified as trusted, irrespective of the string of characters after "USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_JETFLASH&PROD_TRANSCEND_(2,4,or 8)GB&REV_8.07\".
