6423: The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy
On this page
Logged as a result of \Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Device Installation\Device Installation Restrictions. That category contains four device installation restriction settings that allow you to prevent devices from being installed that match certain specified criteria. You can prevent installation of devices that match device ID's, device class GUID's or are removable devices. You can also prevent devices from being installed that do not match any other policies.
These events are logged for all devices we tested – not just USB devices.
