================================================================================ DEPLOYMENT LOGGING DOCUMENTATION ================================================================================ All deployment activity is automatically logged to: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\ Log files are named: HOSTNAME-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt ================================================================================ LOG FILE NAMING ================================================================================ Format: HOSTNAME-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt Examples: G1JJVH63ESF-20251017-143022.txt G1JJXH63ESF-20251017-143155.txt G1JKYH63ESF-20251017-143301.txt Components: - HOSTNAME: Computer name (from %COMPUTERNAME%) - YYYYMMDD: Date (Year, Month, Day) - HHMMSS: Time (Hour, Minute, Second) ================================================================================ WHAT IS LOGGED ================================================================================ Each log file contains: - Deployment start time - Hostname and system information - Administrator privilege check - Certificate import status - WinRM HTTPS listener creation - Firewall rule configuration - All success and error messages - Final deployment status (SUCCESS or FAILED) ================================================================================ LOG LOCATION ================================================================================ Network Path: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\ The batch file automatically: - Creates the log directory if it doesn't exist - Creates a new log file for each deployment - Logs all output (success and errors) - Shows log file location on screen ================================================================================ VIEWING LOGS ================================================================================ Method 1: Manual Browse 1. Open Windows Explorer 2. Navigate to: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\ 3. Open log files with Notepad Method 2: PowerShell Script (Recommended) .\View-DeploymentLogs.ps1 Available options: - List all logs - Show latest logs - Search by hostname - Filter by success/failure - Generate summary report Method 3: Command Line # View latest log Get-Content S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\*.txt | Select-Object -Last 50 # Search for errors Get-ChildItem S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\*.txt | Select-String "ERROR|FAIL" # List logs for specific PC Get-ChildItem S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\G1JJVH63ESF-*.txt ================================================================================ LOG FILE EXAMPLE ================================================================================ G1JJVH63ESF-20251017-143022.txt: ============================================================================ WinRM HTTPS Deployment Log ============================================================================ Hostname: G1JJVH63ESF Date/Time: 10/17/2025 14:30:22 Log File: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\G1JJVH63ESF-20251017-143022.txt ============================================================================ [OK] Running with Administrator privileges Script directory: \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\ [OK] Required files found Executing WinRM HTTPS setup... === WinRM HTTPS Setup Script === Date: 10/17/2025 14:30:23 Logging to: S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\G1JJVH63ESF-20251017-143022.txt === Importing Certificate === Importing certificate from: \\SERVER\WinRM-HTTPS\wildcard-logon-ds-ge-com-20251017.pfx [OK] Certificate imported successfully Subject: CN=*.logon.ds.ge.com Thumbprint: C1412765B2839E9081FCEA77BB1E6D8840203509 Expiration: 10/17/2027 08:16:34 === Creating WinRM HTTPS Listener === Hostname: g1jjvh63esf.logon.ds.ge.com Port: 5986 [OK] HTTPS listener created successfully === Configuring Windows Firewall === Creating firewall rule for port 5986...

Troubleshooting - See exactly what happened during deployment - Identify error patterns - Debug certificate or network issues 2. Tracking - Know which PCs have been deployed - See deployment timestamps - Track multiple deployment attempts 3. Compliance - Audit trail of all deployments - Document when/who deployed - Compliance with IT policies 4. Reporting - Generate deployment statistics - Identify problem PCs - Calculate success rates ================================================================================ INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SYSTEMS ================================================================================ Logs can be: - Imported into SIEM systems - Parsed for monitoring dashboards - Analyzed for trends - Used for automated alerting Example: Send email alert on failure $failed = Get-ChildItem S:\DT\ADATA\SCRIPT\DEPLOY\LOGS\*.txt | Select-String "FAILED" | Select-Object -Last 1 if ($failed) { Send-MailMessage -To "it@example.com" -Subject "Deployment Failed" -Body $failed } ================================================================================
