~~This article will contain instructions on how~~ to set up ~~a new~~ laptop ~~for a new location~~. ~~For now~~, it'~~s just notes~~. ~~[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:33, 14 May 2009 (CDT)~~

== 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.

~~== Kit ==~~

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.

~~Stuff~~ to ~~take~~ to ~~a location~~ to set ~~up a laptop:~~

* laptop

* charger

* SD Card (will come from PDAs in most cases)

* mouse

* glare screen (once we have one)

~~== Laptop 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:\

~~Would be good~~ to ~~include this in the image by eHealth~~

* C:\ccmdb_data

* in BIOS, to ~~save power~~:

* C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches

** disable wireless in non-wireless locations

* C:\ccmdb_program

** 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 ==~~

* and the appropriate printer from [[Printer]]s - ask to set up local printer as per [[Printer]], for '''all users'''

* make ~~sure~~ the ~~settings file is right~~

* [[Wireless networking]] - the laptop used to need to be added to some OU to make this work; this may no longer be the case

* ~~regional server shortcut~~

* [[:Category:Hospital EPR]] - laptop has to be added to some OU to make that work

* with the user logged in:

** set Macro security settings to ~~low (Access, Tools, Macro, Security)~~

** set menus to ~~always show all (Tools, Customize, Always show full menus)~~

* make ~~sure the backup.bat etc. is copied over, set up, and working~~

== ~~Convert~~ ==

=== Portion with collector logged in ===

* fix updater.bat to ~~treat~~ this ~~file differently (only while laptop and PDA versions are different)~~

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

* sync into old .mdb

* 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 ==~~

* run [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[Desktop_install.bat]]

* do ~~one last backup~~

** CCDMB

* ~~move~~ the ~~SD card~~ to the ~~laptop~~

*** if it doesn't install [[CCMDB.accdb]] - follow [[Copying down a clean version of CCMDB.accdb]]

* wipe PDA (press outside buttons at same time as stabbing recessed button on side)

**** 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

~~== Training ==~~

* [[News and Backup]]

~~=== Laptopn specific ===~~

** ideally the file was recovered from the old laptop and restored

* ~~battery swaps~~

*** if the file wasn't recovered, see [[News_and_backup#Setting_up_the_file_on_a_laptop]]

* ~~backup batch~~ file

==~~= new CCMDB specific =~~==

== Testing ==

* ~~un-yellowing~~

* [[printer]]

* ~~start to enter text~~ in ~~dropdowns,~~ it ~~will fill~~

* [[News and backup | test news and backup]]

* ~~using ctrl-f to find diagnoses etc.~~

** if problem confirm/change location settings

* ~~escaping out of intractable errors~~

*** 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:

* [[Network hubs]]
