== Kit ==
== Instructions ==
Stuff to take to a location to set up a laptop:
=== Digital Health portion ===
* laptop
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.
* charger
* [[SD Card]] (will come from PDAs in most cases)
* mouse


== Laptop Prep ==
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.
=== Imaging / Install ===
* have the laptop imaged by eHealth
** make sure you tell them to include the Novell Client if the laptop site uses it (or if the site is yet to be determined)
** tell eHealth the location if known so the right tree can be chosen during image install


=== BIOS ===
Make the following directories; you may need to ask Digital Health to make them since default rights don't allow making directories on C:\
* (if available) in BIOS, to save power:
* C:\ccmdb_data
** disable wireless in non-wireless locations
* C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches
** disable bluetooth
* C:\ccmdb_program


=== With Any Internet Connection ===
* and the appropriate printer from [[Printer]]s - ask to set up local printer as per [[Printer]], for '''all users'''
* Install driver updates from HP
* [[Wireless networking]] - the laptop used to need to be added to some OU to make this work; this may no longer be the case
** specifically, the slide pad drivers on the image don't seem to work
* [[:Category:Hospital EPR]] - laptop has to be added to some OU to make that work
* Windows Update
* Firefox (less buggy for wiki editing)


=== On WRHA Network ===
=== Portion with collector logged in ===
* add all local users as admins (must be plugged into network for this)
Collector or someone in OU DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION needs to be logged in for this.  
* Copy contents of [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\Laptop Files to C:\
** this includes
*** empty ccmdb_programs and ccmdb_data directories
*** batches directory with files for [["News and backup" batch file#Setting up the file on a laptop | "News and backup"]]

**** [[net_use_reg_srv.bat]]


== Setup on delivery ==
* run [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[Desktop_install.bat]]
These are stored in the user profile so they have to be set up with the user logged in.  
** CCDMB
* set up printing
*** if it doesn't install [[CCMDB.accdb]] - follow [[Copying down a clean version of CCMDB.accdb]]
* Access settings changes '''with the user logged in:'''
**** which automates copying ccmdb_data.mdb from [[Regional Server]]\data\master to c:\ccmdb_data
** set menus to always show all (Tools, Customize, Always show full menus)
** ccmdb_data
* change '''Folder Options''' to be visible;  Windows explorer, Tools, View,
*** restore the collector's data - ideally this will have been backed up and restored from the old laptop
** uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
**** if not, do a [[CCMDB data.mdb restore from Regional Server]]
* set battery settings
*** 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
** always display
** audible warning


== Retrieve Data ==
* [[News and Backup]]
If restoring for a previously collected location:

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:
