How to make a Windows To Go Stick unusable after 14 days? Any best practices?

Hello Community,

I want to implement Windows To Go Sticks in my company. We want to use it for the employees which work on a working station. When they want to make home office, it should be possible to connect via a Win2Go stick and VPN to our company network from a private machine and make a remote desktop connection to their working stations or other server. The system should not join the domain, every not needed features are restricted for the user.

I installed and configured some Windows To Go USB-sticks with local policies. The User is not admin. And the stick is encrypted with Bitlocker.

Now I have the question: Is it possible to destroy the Windows session or make it unusable after a predefined time (like 14 days)? I would like to implement this, because the stick will not be managed (not in domain). The goal is, that the employee returns the stick to us, so we wipe it and apply an updated image.

I would appreciate any help! Also I would appreciate if you tell me your best practices with Windows to Go in that use case. 

Best Regards

Michael

Hi.

This is possible. Setup a scheduled Task that changes the bitlocker Password after 14 days. Make sure to configure the task that it will run after a missed start so that it surely runs. No way for a standard user to get around this.
