Belton WDS Automation

Windows Deployment Services automation for Belton imaging and post-deployment provisioning. Batch entry points in Automation/ orchestrate PowerShell scripts for drivers, apps, registry changes, Windows Update, and cleanup.

Architecture

Deployment phases (standard order):

1. Pre-Check
2. Driver Install
3. Application Install
4. Registry Changes
5. Windows Updates (Prep + Install)
6. Cleanup

Each phase has a .bat wrapper that resolves paths, calls the matching .ps1 scripts, logs a summary entry to QuickLog, and exits with an aggregated result.

Entry Points

• WDS hook: Automation/setupcomplete.cmd
• Phase wrappers:
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Pre-Check.bat
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Driver Installs.bat
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Application Installs.bat
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Registry Changes.bat
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Updates.bat
  • Automation/Belton/Bat Files/Cleanup.bat

Logging and Exit Codes

• QuickLog: APPBASE\Logs\Belton QuickLog.log
• Phase logs: APPBASE\Logs\<Phase>.log (for example Installers.log, RegistryEdits.log, WindowsUpdate_Prep.log)
• Exit codes: 0 success, 1+ failure or aggregated error count

QuickLog format:

[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] [SCRIPT_ALIAS] : PASS/FAIL (rc=X)

Path Resolution Pattern

All PowerShell scripts resolve APPBASE by walking two levels up from the script directory:

$scriptDir = $PSScriptRoot
$appBaseLevel1 = Split-Path $scriptDir -Parent
$appBase = Split-Path $appBaseLevel1 -Parent

External Dependencies

• PSWindowsUpdate: installed during Windows Update Prep
• SDIO share: \\192.168.15.5\Techbay\Belton WDS\Software\SDIO\
• Office ODT: Software/ODT/

Remediation and Testing

• Remediation menu: Automation/Belton/Remediation/Remediation.bat
• Standalone scripts (absolute APPBASE variants): Testing/Standalone Scripts/
• Additional testing utilities: Testing/

Troubleshooting Quick Checks

• QuickLog shows PASS/FAIL for each phase. Check phase logs for details.
• If a script cannot resolve modules, verify APPBASE\Scripts\Modules exists.
• If SDIO fails, verify the Techbay share is reachable and credentials are valid.
• If Windows Update fails, run Windows Update Prep and confirm PSWindowsUpdate is installed.
