Keith Browning Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The FIRST thing that I would do is protect your Tough Book from "Stupid." Go into the control Panel and select User Accounts. Change the one that is already there and name it "Administrator" and set a password to lock it. Then, create another account and name it "Ford Techs" then change the account type to "limited" which will not allow anyone using the account to make any changes to the software, install "stuff" and create havoc. You can give this account a password as an added level of protection but you have to make it simple and be sure everyone in service knows what it is. I highly recommend adding a wireless hub to your shop so that the IDS can connect to the Ford server and you can log into FMC Dealer from anywhere in the shop. IDS will connect to update drivers, calibrations and software and if you are not already connected it can screw you up! This is good because you can also open a window and use the on-line manuals, OASIS...etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
