Our Physicians are using the Motion M1400 Tablet PCs in our ERs. The nature
of this environment is very vunerable to internet mishaps, so the tablets,
and other workstations in this area, are highly managed.

The problem I am having is that I cannot figure out how to give the user a
shortcut to the TIP. We are using the FlexDocks and docking gives you a
keyboard within 1 second but for quick notes, the Physician needs to be able
to occoationally freehand the note. The main application they run is over a
Citrix Session and the tablet is not recognizing the text boxs in this
application as a text field. This does work for local applications but not
in the terminal/citrix applications.

Additionally, my GPOs somehow remove the toolbar containing the link to
launch the TIP. I'm all about removing the GPOs or adding another OU for
Tablets but I am at a loss as to where to turn from here.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Bart Perrier

Hi, Bart,

If you don't need the notes to go directly to the Server or to a specific
file, then you might want to take a look at the Experience Pack's Ink
Desktop. It allows a fast note directly on the desktop of the Tablet.

I have a feeling that isn't what you're asking, but thought I'd toss it out.

If you hold the pen a bit above the screen and wave it back and forth
horizontally the TIP comes up.

Bart, I've bumped this over to the Tablet Team at Microsoft for more details
about what you need to do. As I recall, there are some basic
inconsistencies with Citrix itself and a multitude of things addressed
through Microsoft's Knowledge Base articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/...2&ast=3&mode=a
However, the basic question of GPO and lock-down of the TIP for users is a
solution I've asked about. Will post back when I receive information.

I did find the GPO that was removing the Custom Toolbar; it is now available
but in a different location. The GPO was (here comes the Mack truck)
Users-Admin Templates-Start Menu and Taskbar - Do not display any custom
toolbars.

I will leave this post marked incase you have an update.

Thanks Chris,
Bart

You're welcome, Bart. It may be a few days before they bounce back with
information, but I will post whenever I hear something.

So, if I read your original post correctly, you'll be able to move Tablets
into an OU where you can NOT push down this GPO, correct? (and you're right,
that's like ringing a doorbell with a bazooka.)

That is exactly right. For now we have disabled this Policy for the whole OU
but that can of course open up other Custom Toolbars which could in turn
encourage random acts of clicking the Install Now button (aka Yes Button for
Security Warnings).

Let's face it; the ERs aren't always busy, just when I'm there. =]

Good Morning,
I just bought my tablet yesterday, is it normal for the keyboard input to
appear during the entire boot and on the welcome screen?
Thanks, Brian

Yes. If your account has a password, or you would want to boot with the
Administrator account, you will need it available.
