You may also want to talk to your acquiring bank to see if they can offer you any advice if you don't have a QSA. Your acquiring bank may help you work through scoping and if SAQ C or D in the environment.

organizations screwing up at the same time is less probable)But, if your running your own AD and the machines are connecting to your AD server, then you need to fill out a SAQ D
When in doubt, please consult with your ISV ... and remember, you can shop around for one that agrees with you :-)

Your company has a payment application system and an Internet connection on the same device and/or same local area network (LAN); 2. The payment application system/Internet device is not connected to any other systems within your environment (this can be achieved via network segmentation to isolate payment application system/Internet device from all other systems); 3. Your company store is not connected to other store locations,and any LAN is for a single store only; 4. Your company retains only paper reports or paper copies of receipts; 5. Your company does not store cardholder data in electronic format; and6.

SAQ D means that they're storing credit card numbers, which will make their PCI compliance effort require more resources and increases the likelihood of a breach leading to exposed credit card numbers and the associated notification. If they don't have an extremely good reason to store those credit card numbers (and it needs to provide an associated benefit that outweighs the cost from doing so), they shouldquit storing them.
