KB: Part 4 step 5 (Tools > Share accounts), the Upload-Image password
prompt, the new site-vars rows and example, share sign-in without the
shipped password, and that a re-run keeps the webapp's share passwords.
site-vars examples and SITE-CUSTOMIZATION.md list the new keys.
Upload-Image.ps1 lost its CRLF line endings in fa79f76; restored.
Tools > Share accounts sets the pxe-upload, blancco and clonezilla Samba
passwords. Saving one runs smbpasswd and writes it everywhere it is used:
startnet.cmd in boot.wim (pxe-upload), the served Blancco preferences and
the live config.img (blancco), the iPXE menu's Clonezilla entries
(clonezilla). Refused while a PC is imaging unless forced. Stored 0600 in
UPDATES_DIR/shares/accounts.json, never shown back.
- The stored values are the authority: the playbook only creates the
Samba accounts, seeds the store from site-vars (pxe_upload_password,
blancco_smb_password, clonezilla_smb_password) for accounts it does not
hold, and runs "share_accounts apply" at the end of every run.
- Every startnet save re-pins SHAREPASS, so a restored snapshot cannot
bring an old password back; new menu blocks use %SHAREUSER%/%SHAREPASS%.
- Shop floor unattend Order 4 reads the login from fetch-source.txt;
Invoke-PostPpkg deletes that file once the PPKG is applied.
- Upload-Image.ps1 asks for the password unless -Pass is given.
- pxe_admin_password: the Linux pxe login. Required while the box still
has the shipped "pxe"; set with chpasswd when it differs.
- Blancco site settings now also reach the live config.img (BIOS path).
Small Control JSONs have arrived empty or wrong more than once, and the old
check compared sizes only and skipped missing files. A copy of
Deploy/Control on the dev PC still holds two 0-byte JSONs.
Upload-Image.ps1 (tested on Windows PowerShell 5.1 in the win11 VM):
- refuses an unfinished MCL cache: exactly one <OS>-Production.tag (MCL
writes it last), no Control file newer than it, selected OS matches,
every Control/Tools JSON non-empty and valid
- checks payload against the SHA-256 MCL's own Control JSONs publish. MCL
resumes downloads onto old files (FileMode.Append) and then trusts any
file of the right size: the September junk-tail corruption. Offers to
delete the bad cache files so MCL downloads them again
- hashes every file into a manifest, robocopies, POSTs the manifest
- re-sends bad small files over HTTP (no proxy), large ones by deleting
the bad copy and robocopy /J (robocopy skips a same-size, same-time file
as "modified" even with /IS /IT)
Webapp:
- services/upload_verify.py hashes the upload on the server's own disk in
a background thread; reports missing, differing, bad-in-MCL-cache and
stray files; PUT /api/upload/file writes temp, checks hash, renames
- import of the upload folder only after a passed verification, with
every file unchanged (size, mtime, ctime, inode), no stray files, and
the target the OS allows (LTSC: Shop Floor only; else Standard or
Engineer; unknown OS: none). Import, verify and PUT share one lock
- paths matched case-insensitively against the disk, as Samba does
- import page shows the upload, MCL run, verification and stray files
with a remove button; record of each import kept on the image
Reviewed adversarially; all 11 confirmed findings fixed with tests.
42 new unit tests. VM test: clean upload; same-size same-mtime damage on
3 files repaired in one round; stray file blocks import until removed;
Shop Floor refused for a Pro upload; import records and clears the
folder; missing tag, 0-byte JSON, junk-head WIM and late Control file
each refused with nothing uploaded.
Single-site bay-stuck issue at WJ: GE Intune Report IP script filters
Get-NetIPAddress on StartsWith("10.") and posts everything matching
to the GE Tines webhook. Bays at WJ get the PXE LAN 10.9.100.x IP
captured and reported -> GE backend tags bays as on a non-corp 10.x
subnet -> dynamic group eligibility for SFLD policy never matches.
Other GE sites work because their PXE LANs aren't on 10.x at all.
Renumber PXE LAN to RFC1918 172.16.9.0/24 so the GE filter naturally
skips wired PXE addresses without any disable-NIC dance.
Server-side already in flight (netplan dual-bound, dnsmasq scope +
boot URL repointed, blancco preferences + grub.cfg + iPXE GetPxeScript
all sed'd to 172.16.9.1). This commit is the playbook / scripts /
docs side: 109 hits across 35 files sed'd in one shot.
After this lands + boot.wim is rebuilt + bays renumber off DHCP,
the 10.9.100.1 binding will be dropped from netplan as the final
cleanup step.

Workstation reorganization:
- All build/deploy/helper scripts moved into scripts/ (paths updated to use
REPO_ROOT instead of SCRIPT_DIR so they resolve sibling dirs from the new
depth)
- New config/ directory placeholder for site-specific overrides
- Removed stale: mok-keys/, test-vm.sh, test-lab.sh, setup-guide-original.txt,
unattend/ (duplicate of moved playbook/FlatUnattendW10.xml)
- README.md and SETUP.md structure listings updated, dead "Testing with KVM"
section removed
- .claude/ gitignored
Enrollment share internal taxonomy (forward-looking; existing servers
unaffected since they keep their current boot.wim with flat paths):
- Single SMB share kept (WinPE only mounts one Y: drive), but content now
organised into ppkgs/, scripts/, config/, shopfloor-setup/, pre-install/{bios,
installers}, installers-post/cmm/, blancco/, logs/
- README.md deployed to share root explaining each subdir
- New playbook tasks deploy site-config.json + wait-for-internet.ps1 +
migrate-to-wifi.ps1 explicitly (were ad-hoc on legacy servers)
- BIOS subdir moved into pre-install/bios/, preinstall/ renamed to pre-install/
- startnet.cmd + startnet-template.cmd updated with new Y:\subdir\ paths
- Bumped GCCH PPKG references v4.9 -> v4.10
Blancco USB-build fixes (so next fresh USB install boots Blancco end-to-end
without the manual fixup we did against GOLD):
- grub-blancco.cfg: kernel/initrd switched HTTP -> TFTP (GRUB's HTTP module
times out on multi-MB files); added modprobe.blacklist=iwlwifi,iwlmvm,btusb
(WiFi drivers hang udev on Intel business PCs)
- grubx64.efi rebuilt from updated cfg
- Playbook task added to create /srv/tftp/blancco/ symlinks pointing at the
HTTP-served binaries
run-enrollment.ps1: OOBEComplete is now set AFTER PPKG install (Win11 22H2+
hangs indefinitely if OOBEComplete is set before the bulk-enrollment PPKG runs).
Also includes deploy-bios.sh / pull-bios.sh / busybox-static / models.txt
that were sitting untracked at the repo root.
