DME Security Best Practices

We wrote topics in this section to answer and expand upon these customer questions about

DME security:

•CSCsz67661 — How do I change the factory-default password for Windows?

•CSCta04924 — How do I disable unneeded Windows services, such as NNTP, SMTP, and SNMP?

•CSCsz67661 — How do I safeguard my encoded files on the DME file share?

Warning Factory-defined passwords exist by default on all new and newly restored DMEs. These credentials persist until you change them. Because they are well-known, these credentials are a security vulnerability in your network. Therefore, we recommend very strongly that you change them promptly each time that you start to configure a DME.

In addition, some services are enabled by default that you might never use. We recommend that you disable all unneeded services.
