Best System Error Solution: How to Fix Problem - active directory making all usb drives read-only?

active directory making all usb drives read-only

A new client has an old 2003 SBS (not r2) and a few vista and windows 7 workstations sometime this week it changed the usb settings on all computers to Read Only and they use usb drive to transfer files to outside employees

if i change Reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies from 1 to 0 it will be switched back shortly there after however the flash drives will work during that time

i checked the Group Policies and do not see any changes in the last 2+ years

only thing that has changed in this network in the last 2 weeks is replacing an old xp with a new win 7

there was also some updates done and i will review if any of them should have made the change but i do not think that is it

what would be a way i could override the servers wanting to move everyone on the domain to read only removable storage

ps the server usb drives will work - but no workstation
