# Clean ASCII Deployment Scripts

## Problem Solved
The original deployment scripts contained Unicode box-drawing characters that cause display issues in Windows Command Prompt, showing as weird characters or question marks.

## Clean Scripts Available

### 1. Deploy-Simple.bat  **RECOMMENDED**
- **Clean ASCII only** - No Unicode characters
- **Minimal output** - Easy to read
- **Essential functionality** - Just copies files efficiently
- **Small and fast** - 50 lines vs 240+ in original

**Usage:**
```batch
Deploy-Simple.bat
```

### 2. Deploy-To-Multiple-PCs-Enhanced-ASCII.bat
- **Full-featured version** with ASCII characters only
- **Detailed logging** and progress tracking
- **Scheduled task creation**
- **Same functionality** as original, just clean display

### 3. computers-template.txt
- **Clear instructions** for computer list
- **Examples** for different PC types
- **Copy to computers.txt** and edit

## Quick Start

1. **Copy computers-template.txt to computers.txt**
   ```batch
   copy computers-template.txt computers.txt
   ```

2. **Edit computers.txt** - Add your target computer names:
   ```
   DESKTOP-ABC123
   SHOPFLOOR-PC-01
   ENGINEER-WS-02
   ```

3. **Run the simple deployment:**
   ```batch
   Deploy-Simple.bat
   ```

## What Gets Deployed

Files copied to `C:\Temp\AssetCollection\` on each target PC:
- Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 (main script)
- Get-ShopfloorConfig.ps1 (application detection)  
- Update-PC-CompleteAsset.bat (batch wrapper)
- Update-PC-CompleteAsset-Silent.bat (silent version)

## Execution Options

After deployment, run on target PCs:

**Option 1: Manual execution**
```batch
C:\Temp\AssetCollection\Update-PC-CompleteAsset.bat
```

**Option 2: Silent execution** 
```batch
C:\Temp\AssetCollection\Update-PC-CompleteAsset-Silent.bat
```

**Option 3: Remote execution with PsExec**
```batch
psexec \\COMPUTER -u admin -p password cmd /c "C:\Temp\AssetCollection\Update-PC-CompleteAsset-Silent.bat"
```

## Requirements

- **Network access** to target PCs (admin shares)
- **Administrative credentials** for target systems  
- **Source files** in S:\DT\adata\script\ (or update SOURCE_DIR)
- **PowerShell execution policy** set on target PCs

## Troubleshooting

**"Access denied" errors:**
- Verify admin credentials
- Check Windows Firewall settings
- Ensure File and Printer Sharing is enabled

**"Files not copied" errors:**
- Check source directory exists: S:\DT\adata\script\
- Verify network connectivity
- Check disk space on targets

**"Computer offline" messages:**
- Computers are powered off or unreachable
- Network connectivity issues
- Incorrect computer names in computers.txt

## New Application Detection

The updated scripts now include:
- **UDC detection** (looks for UDC.exe process)  
- **CLM detection** (looks for ppdcs.exe process)
- **Database integration** via installedapps table
- **Machine details display** in web dashboard

Only runs on **Shopfloor PCs** - other PC types skip application detection.
