Talk to your IT department if you're having issues: they are a support role, you're a revenue generating role.ģ. The registry batch file works on 100% of the PC's I use. I can only imagine what a field controller would cost if it had an Apple logo on it.Ģ. iOS only runs on overpriced yuppie devices.My biggest question is, could it even run a program as complex as Access? Probably, but I would reckon that Access has more lines of code than all the apps I currently have installed on my phone, combined. This would be my choice for mobile platform, but it's only been truly mature as an OS for the past 4-5 years. Android has always been deemed "risky" by IT departments, because it's easily hack-able.We were suppose to get "Windows 10S" at some point, that would replace WEHH, but Microsoft scrapped this back in May-ish?! So a new WIN mobile platform is not coming it would have made life simpler. Windows was the first mobile platform that was adopted for field devices (remember how awesome WindowsCE was?) - everything has been written for them.There are three main mobile platforms: Windows, Android, iOS and the fact that I'm someone who's going to tell it like it is.ġ. Here is my total "I build my own computers and could write my own software" side of this story. This doesn't represent the views of Trimble or my employer. Keep it up.ĭISCLAIMER: This viewpoint is my own, based on tech industry knowledge. Unless Trimble tells me its impossible, I think enhancing the DTU to see inside Trimble's mapping grade mobile fleet connected via USB is a fine idea to circumvent WMDC (deprecated by windows many years ago), a non-secure portal, and work thru what already exists for dozens of other devices in the Devices list inside DTU. Doing this every time over a course of a summer, in rugged conditions is risking exposure of the device. Even the rubber doors on a Geo's SD card slot are not all that secure. All exposing the innards of what was a sealed trimble. remove battery cover, remove battery, unlock card cover, release card with tweezers, and reverse this procedure for copying files. And this is all from an SDHC card on some devices - take the Juno for instance. Do this with a typical scenario when 3 Rovers doing 3 different jobs, and you have a colossal mess - one that is entirely solved in DTU workflows. I 'm not picking up a job file, containing all files linked, i have to swim thru a folder which is not organized at all, and copy files, folders. A ssf file is not one file, but multiple ones. PFO workflows are also different than Survey workflows with Access/TBC. So, were in a bit of pinch from all sides, where a surveyor working from his home doesn't see this as an issue. Federal versions of Windows released as images are not what the public sees. Many in outlying offices don't, and if we could get IT to conduct the fix, this is a hard fix to implement. Still, doesn't Trimble buy a the embedded Windows mobile from Microsoft, and hence be a better leverage for getting something that works, or circumvents WMDC altogether? You also have admin privileges on your PC. Windows I think could fix/enhance the WMDC, and its worth a shot to contact them. So, once we do ask our IT to fix this, they are beginning to say no. I don't think this is unique to feds - like to hear other folks weigh in. Good point on complaining to Windows, but what we are hearing from Department of Interior security staff is even if the WMDC, did come back in its current form it would still be dis-allowed in our federal systems. Uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC).Windows 10 with existing installation of WMDC If that doesn’t work, then try this suggestions.If the device will not connect, then run this Registry exe as an Admin.Plug in the Windows Mobile Device (Geos, TCS3, etc).Install the latest 1709 update from Microsoft.Here is the most current suggest workflows to fix the Windows 10 and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) Connection Issues
