Re: DHL connect software

["Dan Tesch" <dan.tesch () comcast net>]

I put one of these stations on my network last week, we also have a FedEx 
terminal.
The FedEx terminal has been joined to our domain and I installed our AV on 
it, etc. but
I still have concerns.  I am sure you can map the DHL terminal's services to 
other accounts
than admin but concerns still exist.

Based on my thinking about this, I am considering putting it and the FedEx 
terminal and any
others we may pick up into a DMZ or at least a VLAN.  The files could be 
transferred to it
via in internal FTP site instead of mapping drives. My company has to adhere 
to PCI guidelines
so I am constantly thinking about this kind of stuff.
