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.

- Fix check-bios.cmd: replace parenthesized if blocks with goto labels
(cmd.exe fails silently with if/else on network-mapped drives)
- Move BIOS check files to winpeapps/_shared/BIOS for reliable SMB access
- Add network wait loop before BIOS check in startnet.cmd
- Show firmware status in WinPE menu header (BIOS_STATUS variable)
- Add BypassNRO registry key to skip OOBE network requirement
- Refactor download-drivers.py with --parallel N flag (ThreadPoolExecutor)
- Set SupportUser AutoLogonCount to 3 in shopfloor unattend
- Add shutdown -a at start + shutdown /r /t 10 at end of Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1
- Switch download-drivers.py from wget to curl for reliable stall detection

- Add /user:pxe-upload pxe credentials to all net use commands (share requires auth)
- Replace timeout with ping delays (timeout.exe not available in WinPE)
- Restore size: largest disk match in autoinstall (root cause was BIOS RST mode)
- Simplify autoinstall late-commands structure

startnet.cmd now polls for PESetup.exe completion and reboots with a
15-second countdown. Build scripts (USB + Proxmox) auto-download pip
wheels if the pip-wheels/ directory is missing. Added mok-keys/ to
gitignore.

to PXE server via SMB (Deploy, Tools, Sources)
- Add gea-shopfloor-mce image type across playbook, webapp, startnet
