Details keep changing, but part of the trick is that the laptop needs to be in the OU '''"Standard/applications/CCMDB laptops"''' (as of 2025-01) to give rights to public desktop and to set trusted directories etc.
Would be good to include this in the image by eHealth
* in BIOS, to save power:
** disable wireless in non-wireless locations
** disable bluetooth
* set "My Documents" to local
* Install driver updates from HP
* Windows Update
* XP SP3
* Firefox (less buggy for wiki editing)
* add all local users as admins (must be plugged into network for this)
* set up printing


== CCMDB Prep ==
Make the following directories; you may need to ask Digital Health to make them since default rights don't allow making directories on C:\
* make sure the settings file is right
* C:\ccmdb_data
* regional server shortcut
* C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches
* with the user logged in:
* C:\ccmdb_program
** set Macro security settings to low (Access, Tools, Macro, Security)
** set menus to always show all (Tools, Customize, Always show full menus)
* add the utilities add-in to VBA in Access


== Convert ==
* and the appropriate printer from [[Printer]]s - ask to set up local printer as per [[Printer]], for '''all users'''
* fix updater.bat to treat this file differently (only while laptop and PDA versions are different)
* [[Wireless networking]] - the laptop used to need to be added to some OU to make this work; this may no longer be the case
* sync into old .mdb
* [[:Category:Hospital EPR]] - laptop has to be added to some OU to make that work
* import into c:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb.mdb; there is VBA code there to facilitate this
* delete the old ccmdb.mdb from <regional server>\programs so it does not overwrite the new one when the [[batch updater]] is used.


== Retiring the PDA ==
=== Portion with collector logged in ===
* do one last backup
Collector or someone in OU DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION needs to be logged in for this.
* move the SD card to the laptop
* wipe PDA (press outside buttons at same time as stabbing recessed button on side)


== Training ==
* run [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[Desktop_install.bat]]
=== Laptopn specific ===
** CCDMB
* battery swaps
*** if it doesn't install [[CCMDB.accdb]] - follow [[Copying down a clean version of CCMDB.accdb]]
* backup batch file
**** which automates copying ccmdb_data.mdb from [[Regional Server]]\data\master to c:\ccmdb_data
** ccmdb_data
*** restore the collector's data - ideally this will have been backed up and restored from the old laptop
**** if not, do a [[CCMDB data.mdb restore from Regional Server]]
*** if this is a brand new laptop that doesn't replace an old one, copy the newest version from [[Regional Server]]\data\master and rename it to get rid of the version portion of the name


=== new CCMDB specific ===
* [[News and Backup]]
* un-yellowing
** ideally the file was recovered from the old laptop and restored
* start to enter text in dropdowns, it will fill
*** if the file wasn't recovered, see [[News_and_backup#Setting_up_the_file_on_a_laptop]]
* using ctrl-f to find diagnoses etc.
* escaping out of intractable errors

Instructions

Digital Health portion

They need to set up the laptop according to their own instructions they keep losing. The instructions are stored on their Sharepoint and we don't have access to them. Documentation used to be in Support Documents library, Configuration Specification category but may not be there any more. Brandon Deamel might be able to help the desktop person find them.

Details keep changing, but part of the trick is that the laptop needs to be in the OU "Standard/applications/CCMDB laptops" (as of 2025-01) to give rights to public desktop and to set trusted directories etc.

Make the following directories; you may need to ask Digital Health to make them since default rights don't allow making directories on C:\

  • C:\ccmdb_data
  • C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches
  • C:\ccmdb_program
  • and the appropriate printer from Printers - ask to set up local printer as per Printer, for all users
  • Wireless networking - the laptop used to need to be added to some OU to make this work; this may no longer be the case
  • Category:Hospital EPR - laptop has to be added to some OU to make that work

Portion with collector logged in

Collector or someone in OU DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION needs to be logged in for this.

Testing

  • printer
  • test news and backup
    • if problem confirm/change location settings
      • right-click edit the icon, make sure line starting with set ml= has the correct location in it
  • CCMDB
  • wiki link
  • confirm autoupdates are enabled in Firefox

Net New laptops

If the laptop is net new (ie not a replacement) the following pages might be relevant:
