This article contains instructions on how to set up a new laptop for a new 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.  


== 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]] (use the one from the previous laptop if this is a replacement)
* mouse


== 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:\
=== eHealth Prep ===
* C:\ccmdb_data
Any new laptop needs to be image by eHealth.
* C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches
* C:\ccmdb_program


Send an email to the service desk with the following info:
* and the appropriate printer from [[Printer]]s - ask to set up local printer as per [[Printer]], for '''all users'''
* '''Novell ''' - '''''Don't''''' include the client even for sites that use it, these laptops will just log into AD since that's all that's needed to access the regional server
* [[Wireless networking]] - the laptop used to need to be added to some OU to make this work; this may no longer be the case
* '''Pointsec''' - laptops use a '''different version''' than standard (in Start Menu/Checkpoint)
* [[:Category:Hospital EPR]] - laptop has to be added to some OU to make that work
* '''MS Access''' - this is no longer part of the standard image so it needs to be requested (or you'll have to add it later, see instructions below) '''has to be 2003'''
* '''admin rights''' - for Tina Tenbergen, Linda Hathout and Kym Morris
* '''wireless networking''' - the laptop needs to be added to a group to make this work
*'''local printer''' - ehealth to set up if know destination of laptop
* '''[[RIS/PACS]]''' - install


=== BIOS Settings ===
=== Portion with collector logged in ===
Change BIOS settings to save power (if settings are available)
Collector or someone in OU DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION needs to be logged in for this.
* disable wireless in locations that don't use wireless
** as of 2011-02-02 only STB and VIC use wireless
* disable bluetooth


=== With Any Internet Connection ===
* run [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[Desktop_install.bat]]
* Windows Update
** CCDMB
* Firefox (less buggy for wiki editing) [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/]
*** if it doesn't install [[CCMDB.accdb]] - follow [[Copying down a clean version of CCMDB.accdb]]  
**Allow Firefox to open and '''import Internet Explorer''' settings to ensure proxy is set up right
**** which automates copying ccmdb_data.mdb from [[Regional Server]]\data\master to c:\ccmdb_data
* Install MS Access '''2003''' (ie not new version)
** ccmdb_data
** Add/Remove programs, MS Office, Change, make sure Access checkbox is checked
*** restore the collector's data - ideally this will have been backed up and restored from the old laptop
* clean up Startup menu in Start Menu, Programs (remove programs we don't use - should be empty except ST B who need Citrix)
**** if not, do a [[CCMDB data.mdb restore from Regional Server]]
* [[Encrypting SD card using TrueCrypt | Encrypt the SD card]]
*** 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
* set password for screensaver (rightclick desktop, properties, screensaver tab, checkbox password)


=== On WRHA Network ===
* [[News and Backup]]
* [[Admin Rights on Laptops]] - add network group DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION to local admin group (must be plugged into network for this)
** ideally the file was recovered from the old laptop and restored
** Can’t be done in User Accounts, has to be done through control panel, admin tools, computer management. Open Local Users and Groups - open Groups, right click Administrators - Add to Group
*** if the file wasn't recovered, see [[News_and_backup#Setting_up_the_file_on_a_laptop]]
* Run batch job [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[laptop files copier.bat]] to copy contents of [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\Laptop Files to C:\ and also gets the newest ccmdb.mdb) including:
** empty ccmdb_programs and ccmdb_data directories
** batches directory with following files
*** for [["News and backup" batch file#Setting up the file on a laptop | "News and backup"]]
*** Microsoft_access_macro_security_low.reg - used by batch file ins Startup folder
*** MountTrueCypt.bat
** documents and settings\all users\desktop with following shortcuts:
*** CCMDB wiki (i.e. to http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/ccmdb/) recent changes

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
