I would like to disable ALL USB ports on my client via script,
regardless if will be connected a storage usb hardware or, for
instance, a printer.

Is it possible to do this using a cmd,vbs,reg script?

Any help appreciated, best regards.

Ideally, you should use a GPO. Otherwise you could modify the registry
using any scripting technique or language. Just remember the user will
likely need admin privileges so if you use a script, consider running it as
a computer startup script.

See http://www.petri.co.il/disable_usb_disks.htm for some great information
on this topic.
