cproudlock 0aaf049942 Extract site-specific values to site-config.json
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

# 08-EdgeDefaultBrowser.ps1 - Set Microsoft Edge as the default browser
# and PDF handler for all new user profiles, and configure startup tabs
# so Edge opens with Plant Apps / Shop Floor Homepage / Shopfloor Dashboard
# when the end user first launches it.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS:
# The West Jefferson shopfloor ppkg installs Google Chrome alongside Edge.
# On first URL click in a new Azure AD user profile, Windows pops a "Choose
# your default app" picker because multiple browsers are installed and
# nothing has been marked as default. End users hit this on every fresh PC
# and it derails the shopfloor workflow.
#
# HOW IT WORKS:
# Two layers, belt-and-suspenders:
#
# 1. DISM default-app-associations XML
# Writes an XML file mapping http/https/.htm/.html/.pdf/.svg/etc to
# Edge's ProgIds, then runs:
# dism /Online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:<xml>
# This imports the XML into the Default User profile template. Any
# NEW user profile created after this point inherits the associations
# on first logon. Microsoft-supported, works across Win10/Win11.
#
# 2. Group Policy registry key
# HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DefaultAssociationsConfiguration
# points at the same XML file. This is the "Set a default associations
# configuration file" GPO. With this set, Windows re-applies the XML
# on every logon, not just once at profile creation - so Windows
# update defaults-reset and similar edge cases don't un-do us.
#
# CAVEATS:
# - Applies to NEW profiles on first logon. An existing profile that's
# already been logged in (e.g. SupportUser) won't pick up the change
# without a manual Settings > Default apps visit. Acceptable because
# SupportUser isn't the end-user account.
# - Does not UNinstall Chrome. Chrome remains available, it's just not
# the default handler for URLs.
# - Microsoft blocks programmatic UserChoice hash tampering since Win10
# 1703. The DISM + policy route is the only supported path, and it
# only fires for new profiles - that's by design.
