First thing is that Message only appears the first time you try to connect a USB device. If I take it out or even reboot and put in back that message does not appear but it DOES block the USB Drive. Is there a way to have that message appear every time?
Next issue is in Delegation I have Domain Admins DENY for Apply Policy. When I login with my domain account the USB is still be blocked and I ran GPRW and it selected a PC that's in the OU and my domain admin account and it show it being applied. I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong.
 
I changed the policy and imported this:
That works fine but NO message is displayed when someone connects a USB Device and I have that set in the GPO.
