DTPT Security (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Desktop Pass-through (DTPT) has potential security risks typically associated with networking because it supports the transfer of unencrypted data over a network.

Best Practices

Disable bridging on the desktop running the DTPT Server

Microsoft recommends that you do not enable bridging on the desktop running the DTPT Server as this may expose the attached Windows Embedded CE-based device to security concerns from other networks to which the desktop is connected.
