I am going to develop a client server based device-locking software. its
purpose is same as that of SmartLine's DeviceLock i.e. allow or deny users
access to various devices on client machines. through some R&D i have found
using active-directory interface and mmc snap-ins will be a better choice
than writing device drivers. what is your opinion? client machines will be
windows 2k or xp.

This is really a poor suggestion for many reasons. Some of the majors:
1. "The user who is logged in", as has been discussed before on this
forum, there can be more than one user "logged in", there can also be no
users logged in.
He says it is for Windows 2000 but not whether it is a server version
or a workstation version.
2. File system filter driver. You are suggesting one of the hardest
programming models for this approach. Note: since the user is
concentrating on Windows 2000 there is a good chance that they want to
support Windows 2000 before the service packs needed for the mini-filter
model, making this really hard.
If he really wants it for a single system then he can use one of the
available filters like filemon for non commercial use.
3. Get the drive type in user mode. This conficts with the file
filter, since you would want to only layer above these devices.
In the beginning getting the drive type is what filemon does when it
queries for volume info. I did a personal project called Deletion and
Access Control manager found in Codeguru.com->List of Gurus->V and
follw to my name. Let me give the link for Windows 95/98/ME version of
it: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/files/article.php/c4459/
I did the same project for Windows 2k/Xp using filemon as my filter
driver for my personal purposes at home, and it worked fine in my
development computer sponsored to me by my company. But when I said
that the filemon driver crashes in my system because of low memory
conditions a few years back, Mark Russinovich sent me a contract for
$35,000 for using his program.
So I stopped using the project for even my personal purposes. Luckily
I had Filespy but it is far more complex that filemon.
I'm not sure why the OP thinks they need this, but if they explain there
may be a reasonable solution. Your suggestions are certainly not
reasonable.
If he really wants it then he can checkout but it is not the only
solution maybe.
