A freshly installed server could not build standard or engineer: about
8 GB they install from existed only on the running server.
scripts/capture-site-content.sh pulls it over SSH into the gitignored
payload:
- _shared/Applications/extra (Office, Adobe, OpenText, Java, fonts, Wi-Fi,
Zscaler), without pxe-status/ (the playbook deploys that);
- each image's own Deploy/Applications files and folders (GE CA
certificates, the Engineering Layer payload), without the repo-managed
Install-EngineeringLayer.ps1 and without stale BPRT copies;
- the links images keep there, as links.txt;
- fresh bios-staging (*.exe plus models.txt, which the Dell update
rewrites), boot.wim, and the known Blancco file set.
It dry-runs by default, compares by checksum (a Blancco config.img had the
same size and time as the stale copy), writes SHA256SUMS, and refuses what
FAT32 cannot hold: files of 4 GiB or more, Windows-illegal names, and
case-only name clashes.
build-usb.sh copies site-content/ unsplit and refuses to build without it
(unless --skip-site-content), or when SHA256SUMS is missing or does not
cover every file. The playbook checks SHA256SUMS, then merges the content
into winpeapps and recreates the links. It only links to folders that
exist, so it never creates an empty _shared BPRT, which would stop the
first MCL import from seeding it. Link lines are validated before anything
is copied.
pull-bios.sh is gone. It read a path the server no longer uses, with a
hard-coded password.
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.
