Root cause found via decompiling UDC_Setup.exe: it never writes
udc_settings.json from CLI args. Instead it pulls
Settings_Backups\udc_settings_<num>.json from \\tsgwp00525\shared\SPC\UDC
-- which is unreachable at imaging time (no SFLD creds yet). Silent
File.Exists() false, settings never copy, UDC lands on Evendale defaults.
Fix: stage 80 udc_settings_*.json backups under
shopfloor-setup/Standard/udc-backups/ (same tree as ntlars-backups,
xcopy'd to C:\Enrollment\ by existing startnet.cmd). 00-PreInstall
pre-creates C:\ProgramData\UDC\udc_settings.json from the matching
backup BEFORE UDC_Setup.exe runs. Installer's server-side copy silently
fails (unreachable), our pre-staged file survives.
Also:
- preinstall.json UDC InstallArgs corrected: "West Jefferson" -9999
(quoted spaced site + dash-prefixed number, confirmed via decompile)
- Update-MachineNumber.ps1 UDC.exe relaunch: quoted site + dash number
- Monitor-IntuneProgress: action prompts (Select Device Category after
Phase 1; Initiate ARTS Lockdown after Phase 5/creds), Display flow
(3-phase: Registration -> Config -> Lockdown), Phase 6 IME-based
lockdown detection

File-existence detection on NTLARS.exe couldn't tell eDNC 6.4.3 from 6.4.4
(both installers leave the same binary in place), so the enforcer skipped
upgrades. FileVersion compares the vendor-stamped FileVersion field on a
named binary against the manifest's DetectionValue with exact-string match.
Added to all three lib copies (common, Standard, CMM). Standard manifest
template flipped to FileVersion against DncMain.exe -- the eDNC main
binary is more reliably version-stamped than the bundled NTLARS sub-tool.
Update workflow now: drop the new vendor MSI on the SFLD share, bump
Installer + DetectionValue in machineapps-manifest.json, next user logon
runs Machine-Enforce which detects mismatch and installs.

- 03-ShellDefaults.ps1: Default-User TaskbarAl=0 (left), HKLM policies to
hide Start Recommended section, kill Bing web search + suggestions,
disable Cortana. LTSC-honoured; runs fleet-wide via baseline loop.
- ntlars-backups/: 147 per-machine eDNC registry backups renamed to
flat <MachineNumber>.reg scheme. Historical off-by-one entries from
the original dump rewritten to match CSV-target MachineNo.
- Standard/03-RestoreEDncConfig.ps1: at imaging time, if tech typed a
real machine number at PXE (not 9999), import <num>.reg from the local
staged copy. Restores eFocas IP, PPDCS serial, Hssb relays -- not just
the bare MachineNo. Skipped on Timeclock / 9999 / missing backup.
- Update-MachineNumber.ps1: when tech later sets a real number from 9999,
pull <num>.reg from tsgwp00525 SFLD share (ntlarsBackupSharePath in
site-config) and reg-import it before writing the new MachineNo.
- Restore-EDncReg.ps1: shared helper (Mount-SFLDShare + Import-EDncRegBackup)
used by both callers.

Needed for eMxInfo.txt (site-specific eDNC config). The file has no
DisplayVersion in the registry and no canonical MSI; we ship it as a
standalone secret on the SFLD share and key drift correction off its
SHA256. When the yearly replacement drops, bump the hash in
machineapps-manifest.json and every Standard-Machine PC catches up on
next logon.
Patched Install-FromManifest in all three copies (CMM, common, Standard)
for consistency. Also adds the eMxInfo.txt entry to the Standard
machineapps-manifest template and an Install-eMxInfo.cmd template that
copies the file into both 32/64-bit eDNC Program Files paths.
Reason: Intune DSC's main-category YAML was pushing these to every main
device, including Timeclocks - DSC has no awareness of our pc-subtype
distinction. After UDC/eDNC/NTLARS are removed from the DSC YAML, ongoing
version drift would no longer be corrected. This enforcer replaces that,
scoped correctly by subtype.
Structure mirrors CMM (CMM-Enforce.ps1) and common (Acrobat-Enforce.ps1):
- Machine-Enforce.ps1: SYSTEM logon task; mounts SFLD share with HKLM-
backed creds; hands off to Install-FromManifest.
- machineapps-manifest.template.json: repo reference; authoritative copy
lives on the share at \\tsgwp00525.wjs.geaerospace.net\shared\dt\
shopfloor\main\machineapps\machineapps-manifest.json.
- Register-MachineEnforce.ps1: idempotent setup; stages scripts to
C:\Program Files\GE\MachineApps and registers the task.
- lib/Install-FromManifest.ps1: copy of the common/ version (already has
Type=CMD support).
Sub-type gating belt-and-suspenders:
- Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1 only calls Register-MachineEnforce when
$pcType -eq "Standard" -and $pcSubType -eq "Machine".
- Machine-Enforce.ps1 itself re-reads pc-subtype.txt and exits early if
not "Machine", so a mistakenly-deployed copy no-ops.
site-config.json:
- Added "machineappsSharePath" to Standard-Machine pcProfile.
Drive letter U: to stay clear of CMM (S:) and Acrobat (T:) enforcers
that may run concurrently at logon.
Update workflow:
drop new UDC/eDNC/NTLARS installer on the SFLD share,
bump DetectionValue in machineapps-manifest.json,
every Machine PC catches up on next user logon.
- PreInstall runner reads pc-subtype.txt and matches PCTypes against
both base type (Standard) and composite key (Standard-Machine).
- UDC scoped to Standard-Machine only. eDNC and MachineNumberACLs
skip on Standard-Timeclock sub-type.
- Lab added to OpenText PCTypes.
- build-usb.sh copies enrollment/ (PPKGs) and drivers-staging/ (Dell
driver packs) onto USB for self-contained deployment.
- Playbook deploys PPKGs and drivers from USB to PXE server shares.
- Gitignore enrollment/, drivers-staging/, *.ppkg (large binaries).

Adds a machine number prompt to startnet.cmd after the Standard sub-type
selection. Tech enters the number during the PXE boot process. Defaults
to 9999 if Enter is pressed (existing placeholder behavior).
Written to C:\Enrollment\machine-number.txt alongside pc-type.txt.
Consumers:
00-PreInstall-MachineApps.ps1 - replaces 9999 in UDC InstallArgs with
the entered number, so UDC installs with the correct machine number
from the start (no post-setup Set-MachineNumber needed).
01-eDNC.ps1 - writes the machine number to the DNC\General\MachineNo
registry value during eDNC install.
Configure-PC.ps1 - existing $needsMachineNumber check already skips
the prompt when UDC/eDNC aren't at 9999, so no change needed.

Three final optimization batches:
1. Start-Transcript added to 4 scripts that lacked standalone logging:
04-NetworkAndWinRM.ps1, 05-OfficeShortcuts.ps1, 01-eDNC.ps1,
02-MachineNumberACLs.ps1. Each writes to C:\Logs\SFLD\<name>.log
with append mode. Stop-Transcript added before exit points.
2. preinstall.json: Oracle Client PCTypes changed from ["*"] to
["Standard", "CMM", "Genspect", "Keyence", "WaxAndTrace", "Display"].
Lab Workstations don't need Oracle Client (shopfloor data app
dependency). VC++ redists stay at ["*"] (harmless shared deps).
3. Edge profiles added to all remaining PC types in site-config.json:
CMM, Genspect, Keyence, WaxAndTrace, Standard-Timeclock all get the
standard 3-tab setup (Plant Apps + Homepage + Dashboard) with
homepage = tsgwp00524. Display-Lobby and Display-Dashboard get
Shopfloor Dashboard as both homepage and single tab.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three optimization batches from the pipeline audit:
1. Shared Update-MachineNumber.ps1 helper (lib/)
Extracts duplicated machine-number update logic from Configure-PC.ps1,
Check-MachineNumber.ps1, and Set-MachineNumber.ps1 into a shared
dot-sourceable helper at Shopfloor/lib/Update-MachineNumber.ps1.
Exports:
Get-CurrentMachineNumber → @{ Udc = $string; Ednc = $string }
Update-MachineNumber -NewNumber <n> [-Site <s>] → @{ UdcUpdated; EdncUpdated; Errors }
All three consumers now dot-source the helper instead of duplicating
~50 lines each. Set-MachineNumber.ps1 also migrated from inline
Get-SiteConfig to dot-sourcing Get-PCProfile.ps1 for consistency.
2. Site-config integration for remaining scripts
Setup-OpenText.ps1: exclude lists (profiles + shortcuts) now read from
site-config.json opentext section, falling back to West Jefferson
defaults. Inline Get-SiteConfig since the script runs from
C:\PreInstall\installers\opentext\ (can't dot-source Get-PCProfile).
00-PreInstall-MachineApps.ps1: after parsing preinstall.json, scans
InstallArgs for "West Jefferson" and replaces with site-config
siteName if different. Inline Get-SiteConfig for same reason.
3. Placeholder type-specific directories
Created skeleton 01-Setup-*.ps1 scripts for all PC types so the
directory structure is in place and Run-ShopfloorSetup's type-specific
loop has something to iterate over:
Genspect/01-Setup-Genspect.ps1
Keyence/01-Setup-Keyence.ps1
WaxAndTrace/01-Setup-WaxAndTrace.ps1
Lab/01-Setup-Lab.ps1
Each logs a "no type-specific apps configured yet" banner and exits.
Fill in app installs when details are finalized; for share-based
installs, copy the CMM/01-Setup-CMM.ps1 pattern.

New site-config.json file at C:\Enrollment\ (staged by startnet.cmd from
the enrollment share) contains all West Jefferson-specific values that were
previously hardcoded across 7 scripts. To deploy at a different GE site,
clone site-config.json and change the values - scripts need zero changes.
Config schema (v1.0):
siteName / siteNameCompact - UDC/eDNC site args
urls{} - Edge startup tab fallback URLs
edgeStartupTabs[] - ordered tab list with .url file basenames
opentext{} - excluded .hep profiles and .lnk shortcuts
startupItems[] - Configure-PC toggle list (exe/existing/url)
taskbarPins[] - 07-TaskbarLayout pin order with lnk paths
desktopApps[] - 06-OrganizeDesktop Phase 2 app list
Every script uses the same inline Get-SiteConfig helper that reads the
JSON and returns $null if missing/corrupt. All consumers fall back to the
current hardcoded West Jefferson defaults when $siteConfig is null, so
PXE servers without a site-config.json continue working identically.
Scripts updated:
06-OrganizeDesktop.ps1 - desktopApps array from config
07-TaskbarLayout.ps1 - pinSpec array from config
08-EdgeDefaultBrowser.ps1 - startup tab loop from config
Configure-PC.ps1 - startup items + site name from config
Check-MachineNumber.ps1 - site name from config
Set-MachineNumber.ps1 - site name from config
01-eDNC.ps1 - siteName + siteNameCompact from config
startnet.cmd - copies site-config.json from enrollment share

1. UDC JSON ACL: set on directory C:\ProgramData\UDC\ with
ContainerInherit+ObjectInherit instead of the file. UDC_Setup.exe
gets killed by KillAfterDetection before UDC.exe creates
udc_settings.json, so the file doesn't exist at ACL-grant time.
Directory-level ACL with inheritance covers any file created later.
2. Set-MachineNumber.ps1 auto-running: the type-specific loop's
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.ps1" picked up the desktop tool alongside
the numbered installer scripts. Added Where-Object { $_.Name -match
'^\d' } so only numbered-prefix scripts (01-eDNC, 02-ACLs) run.
3. WJ Shopfloor copy-to-self: Phase 1 sweep moved WJ Shopfloor.lnk
into Shopfloor Tools\, then Phase 2's Find-ExistingLnk found it
there and tried to Copy-Item to the same path. Now checks if
resolved source path == destination and prints "exists: (already
in Shopfloor Tools)" instead of erroring.
4. NTLARS missing from taskbar pins: the $pinSpec entry was never
added to 07-TaskbarLayout.ps1 despite the comment update. Added
between eDNC and Defect_Tracker in pin order.
5. shutdown /a stderr noise: 15+ red "Unable to abort system shutdown"
lines in the transcript from shutdown.exe writing to stderr when no
shutdown is pending. Changed all occurrences in Run-ShopfloorSetup,
00-PreInstall-MachineApps to: cmd /c "shutdown /a 2>nul" *>$null
which suppresses both native stderr and PS error stream.

New tools:
Configure-PC.bat/.ps1 - Interactive desktop tool for SupportUser to
configure a shopfloor PC after imaging. Two sections:
1. Machine number: if UDC/eDNC are still at placeholder 9999, prompt
to set the real number right now (updates UDC JSON + eDNC registry,
restarts UDC.exe with new args).
2. Auto-startup toggle: pick which apps start at user logon from a
numbered list (UDC, eDNC, Defect Tracker, WJ Shopfloor, Plant Apps).
Creates/removes .lnk files in AllUsers Startup folder. Toggle UI
shows [ON]/[ ] state, safe to re-run anytime. Plant Apps URL
resolved from .url file at runtime with hardcoded fallback to
https://mes-wjefferson.apps.lr.geaerospace.net/run/...
3. Item 6 in the toggle list: register/unregister a "Check Machine
Number" logon task for standard (non-admin) users. When enabled,
the task fires at every logon, checks for 9999, pops an InputBox
if found, updates both apps, then unregisters itself on success.
Check-MachineNumber.ps1 - The logon task script. Runs as the logged-in
user (needs GUI for InputBox), not SYSTEM. Writing to ProgramData + HKLM
is possible because 02-MachineNumberACLs.ps1 pre-grants BUILTIN\Users
write access on the two specific targets during imaging.
02-MachineNumberACLs.ps1 - Standard type-specific script (runs after
01-eDNC.ps1). Opens C:\ProgramData\UDC\udc_settings.json for Users:Modify
and HKLM:\...\GE Aircraft Engines\DNC\General for Users:SetValue. Narrow
scope, not blanket admin.
Execution order fixes in Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1:
The dispatcher now has two lists: $skipInBaseline (scripts NOT run in the
alphabetical baseline loop) and $runAfterTypeSpecific (scripts run
explicitly after type-specific scripts complete). This fixes the bug where
06/07 ran before 01-eDNC.ps1 installed DnC, so eDNC/NTLARS shortcuts were
silently skipped.
New execution order:
Baseline: 00-PreInstall, 04-NetworkAndWinRM (skipping 05-08 + tools)
Type-specific: 01-eDNC, 02-MachineNumberACLs
Finalization: 06-OrganizeDesktop, 07-TaskbarLayout
06 internally calls 05 (Office shortcuts, Phase 0) and 08 (Edge config,
Phase 4) as sub-phases, so they also benefit from running late. Office
isn't installed until after the first reboot (ppkg streams C2R), so 05
no-ops at imaging time but succeeds when 06's SYSTEM logon task re-runs
it on the second boot. 08 resolves startup-tab URLs from .url files
delivered by DSC (even later); same self-heal via the logon task.
Other fixes in this commit:
- OpenText Setup-OpenText.ps1 Step 4: exclude WJ_Office.lnk, IBM_qks.lnk,
mmcs.lnk desktop shortcuts (matching the Step 3 .hep profile exclusion
from the previous commit). Removes stale copies from prior installs.
- 05-OfficeShortcuts.ps1: widened Office detection to 6 path variants
covering C2R + MSI + Office15/16, with diagnostic output on miss.
- 06-OrganizeDesktop.ps1: removed Phase 3 (desktop-root pin copies for
eDNC/NTLARS) so shortcuts live in Shopfloor Tools only, not duplicated
at root. Emptied $keepAtRoot. Added Phase 0 (call 05) and Phase 4
(call 08). Lazy folder creation + empty-folder cleanup. Scheduled task
now runs as SYSTEM (was BUILTIN\Users with Limited which failed the
admin check). Added NTLARS to 07's taskbar pin list.
- 08-EdgeDefaultBrowser.ps1: Plant Apps URL fallback hardcoded from
device-config.yaml.
- All new scripts have Start-Transcript logging to C:\Logs\SFLD\ with
timestamps and running-as identity.
- Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1: Start-Transcript + Stop-Transcript wrapping
entire dispatcher run, writes to C:\Logs\SFLD\shopfloor-setup.log.
Configure-PC.bat added to SupportUser desktop copy list.

Long debugging round on the shopfloor test PC with several overlapping
bugs. This commit folds all the fixes together.
sync_intune.bat
- Slim down to an elevation thunk that launches a NEW elevated PS
window via Start-Process -Verb RunAs (with -NoExit so the window
doesn't vanish on error). All UI now lives in the PS monitor, not
mixed into the cmd launcher.
- Goto-based control flow. Earlier version had nested if (...) blocks
with literal parens inside echo lines (e.g. "wrappers (Install-eDNC,
...etc)."); cmd parses if-blocks by counting parens character-by-
character, so the ")" in "etc)." closed the outer block early and
the leftover "." threw ". was unexpected at this time.", crashing
the elevated cmd /c window before pause ran.
- Multi-location Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1 lookup so the user's
quick-test workflow (drop both files on the desktop) works without
manually editing the hardcoded path. Lookup order:
1. %~dp0lib\Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1
2. %~dp0Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1
3. C:\Users\SupportUser\Desktop\Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1
4. C:\Enrollment\shopfloor-setup\Shopfloor\lib\Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1
- Prints "Launching: <path>" as its first line so you can see which
copy it actually loaded. This caught a bug where a stale desktop
copy was shadowing the canonical file via fallback #2.
Set-MachineNumber.bat
- Same multi-location lookup pattern. Old version used
%~dp0Set-MachineNumber.ps1 and bombed when the bat was copied to
the desktop without its .ps1 sibling.
- Goto-based dispatch, no nested parens, for the same parser reason.
Monitor-IntuneProgress.ps1
- Start-Transcript at the top, writing to C:\Logs\SFLD\ (falls back
to %TEMP% if C:\Logs\SFLD isn't writable yet) with a startup banner
including a timestamp. Every run leaves a captured trace.
- Main polling loop wrapped in try/catch/finally. Unhandled exceptions
print a red report with type, message, position, and stack trace,
then block on Wait-ForAnyKey so the window can't auto-close on a
silent crash.
- Console window resize at startup via $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize /
BufferSize, wrapped in try/catch (Windows Terminal ignores it, but
classic conhost honors it).
- Clear-KeyBuffer / Read-SingleKey / Wait-ForAnyKey helpers. Drain any
buffered keystrokes from the polling loop before each prompt so an
accidental keypress can't satisfy a pause prematurely.
- Invoke-SetupComplete / Invoke-RebootPrompt final-state handlers.
The REBOOT REQUIRED branch now shows a yellow 3-line header, a
four-line explanation, and a cyan "Press Y to reboot now, or N to
cancel:" prompt via Read-SingleKey @('Y','N'). Y triggers
Restart-Computer -Force (with shutdown.exe fallback), N falls
through to Wait-ForAnyKey.
- Display order: status table FIRST, QR LAST. The cursor ends below
the QR so the viewport always follows it - keeps the QR on screen
regardless of window height. Works on both classic conhost and
Windows Terminal (neither reliably honors programmatic resize).
- Half-block QR renderer: walks QRCoder's ModuleMatrix directly and
emits U+2580 / U+2584 / U+2588 / space, one output line per two
matrix rows. Halves the rendered height vs AsciiQRCode full-block.
Quiet zone added manually via $pad=4 since QRCoder's ModuleMatrix
doesn't include one. Trade-off: may not be perfectly square on all
fonts, but the user accepted that for the smaller footprint after
multiple iterations comparing full-block vs half-block vs PNG popup.

Replace em-dash characters with plain hyphens across the 5 shopfloor
setup scripts (avoids cp1252 mojibake in .bat files and keeps the
PowerShell sources consistent). Also adds [Parameter(Position=1)] to
Write-PreInstallLog so the Level argument can be passed positionally.

Adds a local-install pipeline so Standard shopfloor PCs get Oracle, the
VC++ redists (2008-2022), and UDC installed during PXE imaging via Samba
instead of pulling ~215 MB per device from Azure blob over the corporate
WAN. Intune DSC then verifies (already-installed apps are skipped) and
the only Azure traffic on the happy path is ~11 KB of CustomScripts
wrapper polling.
New files:
- playbook/preinstall/preinstall.json — curated app list with PCTypes
filter and per-app detection rules. Install order puts VC++ 2008
LAST so its (formerly) reboot-triggering bootstrapper doesn't kill
the runner mid-loop. (2008 itself now uses extracted vc_red.msi with
REBOOT=ReallySuppress; the reorder is defense in depth.)
- playbook/shopfloor-setup/Shopfloor/00-PreInstall-MachineApps.ps1 —
the runner. Numbered 00- so it runs first in the baseline sequence.
Reads preinstall.json, filters by PCTYPE, polls for completion via
detection check (handles UDC's hung WPF process by killing it once
detection passes), uses synchronous WriteThrough logging that
survives hard reboots, preserves log history across runs.
- playbook/shopfloor-setup/Standard/Set-MachineNumber.{ps1,bat} — desktop
helper for SupportUser. Reads current UDC + eDNC machine numbers,
prompts via VB InputBox, validates digits-only, kills running UDC,
edits both C:\ProgramData\UDC\udc_settings.json and HKLM\…\GE Aircraft
Engines\DNC\General\MachineNo, relaunches UDC. Lets a tech assign a
real machine number to a mass-produced PC without admin/LAPS.
- playbook/sync-preinstall.sh — workstation helper to push installer
binaries from /home/camp/pxe-images/main/ to the live PXE Samba.
Changes:
- playbook/startnet.cmd + startnet-template.cmd — add xcopy to stage
preinstall bundle from Y:\preinstall\ to W:\PreInstall\ during the
WinPE imaging phase, gated on PCTYPE being set.
- playbook/pxe_server_setup.yml — create /srv/samba/enrollment/preinstall
+ installers/ directories and deploy preinstall.json there.
- playbook/shopfloor-setup/Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1 — bump AutoLogonCount
to 99 at start (defense against any installer triggering an immediate
reboot mid-dispatcher; final line still resets to 2 on successful
completion). Copy Set-MachineNumber.{ps1,bat} to SupportUser desktop
on Standard PCs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Delete 02-OpenTextCSF.ps1 (CSF profile delivery moved to Intune YAML's
CopyFiles section in main/device-config.yaml — no longer needed at the
PXE/baseline layer)
- Strip MarkZebra install + post-config from 01-eDNC.ps1 (no longer
needed; only eDNC core install + Dnc x86→x64 mirror + Site reg + eMxInfo
deployment remain). Section numbering tightened.
- Add SITESELECTED="West Jefferson" to eDNC msiexec args so the MSI's
site-specific Components (NtLarsWjfRegComp — FTP/FMS/PPDCS hosts +
credentials) actually install. Without it, only the bare Site value was
being set and all the connection details were unconfigured.
- gitignore: blanket-block any **/eMxInfo*.txt from being committed —
the file contains obfuscated eDNC site credentials and must never go
in git. Canonical source lives at /home/camp/pxe-images/main/eMxInfo.txt
outside the repo.
