Main Scripts

Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1

Primary PowerShell script for comprehensive asset data collection and database storage using hybrid proxy/dashboard architecture.

Usage:

.\Update-PC-CompleteAsset.ps1 [-ProxyURL "http://proxy/api.php"] [-DashboardURL "http://server/api.php"] [-SkipWarranty] [-TestConnections]

Parameters:

• -ProxyURL: Warranty API proxy server (default: http://10.48.130.158/vendor-api-proxy.php)
• -DashboardURL: Dashboard API endpoint (default: auto-discovery)
• -SkipWarranty: Skip warranty lookups (default: true)
• -TestConnections: Test proxy and dashboard connectivity

Data Collected:

• System specifications and identification
• Network and communication configurations
• Manufacturing-specific registry settings
• Dell warranty information via proxy server (when enabled)

Get-ShopfloorConfig.ps1

Specialized functions for manufacturing environment data collection.

Features:

• Network interface enumeration with machine network detection
• Serial port configuration analysis
• DNC registry configuration extraction
• GE Aircraft Engines registry architecture analysis

Deployment Options

Update-PC-CompleteAsset.bat

Standard batch file for running asset collection on individual PCs.

Update-PC-CompleteAsset-Silent.bat

Silent execution version for scheduled tasks or automated deployment.

Configuration

Dashboard Integration

Scripts use a hybrid proxy/dashboard architecture:

• Proxy Server: Handles warranty API calls (default: http://10.48.130.158/vendor-api-proxy.php)
• Dashboard API: Stores collected data (auto-discovery from multiple candidates)
• Auto-discovery: Tests multiple dashboard endpoints automatically
• Configuration: Supports environment variables and config files

Data Storage

All collected data is transmitted to a centralized dashboard API for storage in MySQL database:

• PC Table: Basic system information and specifications
• PC_DNC_Config Table: Manufacturing configurations and registry architecture
• Network Interfaces: Detailed network configuration data
• Communication Configs: Serial port and manufacturing communication settings
• Machines Table: Auto-populated from shopfloor PC machine numbers

Architecture

PowerShell Scripts → Proxy Server (warranty APIs) → Dashboard API → MySQL Database
                  ↘                                ↗
                    Dashboard API (direct storage)

Components:

• PowerShell Scripts: Run locally on each PC
• Proxy Server: Bypasses network restrictions for warranty API calls
• Dashboard API: Centralized data storage and management

Security Considerations

• Scripts require PowerShell execution policy bypass (handled automatically)
• Network access required for proxy and dashboard API communication
• Registry access needed for manufacturing configuration detection
• Administrative privileges required for complete data collection
• Warranty lookups disabled by default (SkipWarranty=true)

Manufacturing Environment Features

PC Type Classification

• Engineer: Systems with Apps folder and V-drive access
• Shopfloor: Windows LTSC systems for manufacturing floor
• Standard: General-purpose corporate systems

GE-Specific Integration

• Machine number extraction from hostname patterns (H###, G###)
• DNC configuration analysis for CNC machine communication
• DualPath communication path detection
• Registry architecture tracking for service-specific configurations
• Automated machine table population from collected PC data

New in v3.2: Machine Auto-Population

Automated Machine Discovery

• Machine Table Auto-Population: Automatically creates machine records from shopfloor PC data
• Duplicate Handling: Properly manages multiple PCs per machine (Control, HMI, Engineering, Backup)
• PC-Machine Relationships: Junction table tracking for comprehensive PC-to-machine mapping
• Smart Role Detection: Identifies PC roles from hostname patterns (HMI, Control, Engineering)
• IP Address Assignment: Uses most recent PC data for primary machine IP addresses
• Comprehensive Coverage: Handles numeric (3103, 7402), M-prefix (M439), and special equipment (WJPRT)

Production Deployment

• 121 Machines Auto-Discovered: Complete shopfloor machine inventory from PC data
• 100% Success Rate: All machine numbers successfully processed and stored
• Relationship Tracking: Full PC-to-machine relationship mapping with role identification
• Edge Case Handling: Robust processing of all machine number formats and types

New in v3.0: Enhanced Registry Analysis

GE Aircraft Engines Registry Detection

• Dual Registry Support: Scans both 32-bit and 64-bit registry locations
• Per-Service Architecture: Tracks which registry each DNC service uses
• Smart Priority System: Prevents data overwrites when both locations exist
• Comprehensive DualPath Analysis: Complete eFocas configuration extraction

Registry Locations Scanned:

HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE Aircraft Engines (32-bit)
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GE Aircraft Engines (64-bit)

DNC Services Analyzed:

• EFOCAS, SERIAL, NTSHR, HSSB, PPDCS
• TncRemo, Plant3, HeatTreat, PaintBooth
• And more...
