From 3861b86b74a63436221b44fe2719c9c0650565bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gumbees Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 01:30:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/15] Enhance Windows 11 upgrade automation for RMM execution MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Added comprehensive improvements to ensure successful automated upgrades when running under SYSTEM user via RMM platforms. Improvements: - Pre-flight checks: disk space validation (20GB minimum), pending reboot detection, and temp file cleanup - Enhanced setup.exe arguments for full automation: - /DynamicUpdate Disable (prevents mid-upgrade download hangs) - /Compat IgnoreWarning (bypasses compatibility warnings) - /ShowOOBE None (skips post-upgrade OOBE screens) - /quiet (minimizes UI interactions) - Process confirmation: waits 10 seconds after launch to verify setup.exe is running successfully before script exits - Better error handling with specific exit codes and progress reporting - Hidden window mode for cleaner background execution These changes address common failure points in automated Windows upgrades, particularly when executed remotely without user interaction. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- msft-windows/msft-win11-upgrade.ps1 | 97 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 88 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-win11-upgrade.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-win11-upgrade.ps1 index a5aa50b..08ee098 100644 --- a/msft-windows/msft-win11-upgrade.ps1 +++ b/msft-windows/msft-win11-upgrade.ps1 @@ -52,14 +52,28 @@ Write-Host "RMM: $RMM" <# .SYNOPSIS - Quiet in-place upgrade Win10 → Win11 with staged NinjaRMM (or host) progress. + Fully automated in-place upgrade Win10 → Win11 with pre-flight checks and enhanced setup flags. .DESCRIPTION + Optimized for RMM execution under SYSTEM with minimal user interaction. + Reports progress at 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %: 0 % – script start 25 % – download beginning 50 % – download finished & ISO mounted 75 % – setup.exe launched + + Pre-flight checks: + - Validates 20GB minimum free disk space + - Checks for pending reboots + - Cleans temporary files + + Enhanced setup.exe arguments for automation: + - /DynamicUpdate Disable (prevents mid-upgrade hangs) + - /Compat IgnoreWarning (bypasses compatibility warnings) + - /ShowOOBE None (skips post-upgrade setup screens) + - /quiet (minimizes UI interactions) + Then exits, letting Windows Setup reboot and complete the upgrade. #> @@ -136,6 +150,36 @@ if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($isoUrl)) { exit 1 } +### ————— PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS ————— +Write-Output "Running pre-flight checks..." + +# Check free disk space (need 20GB minimum for upgrade) +$systemDrive = $env:SystemDrive +$disk = Get-PSDrive -Name $systemDrive.TrimEnd(':') +$freeSpaceGB = [math]::Round($disk.Free / 1GB, 2) +Write-Output "Free disk space on ${systemDrive}: ${freeSpaceGB}GB" +if ($freeSpaceGB -lt 20) { + Write-Error "CRITICAL: Insufficient disk space. ${freeSpaceGB}GB free, but 20GB minimum required for upgrade." + Show-Progress -Percent 0 -Stage "InsufficientDiskSpace" + Stop-Transcript + exit 1 +} + +# Check for pending reboots +$pendingReboot = Test-Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\RebootPending" +if ($pendingReboot) { + Write-Warning "WARNING: Pending reboot detected.

New Feature: - $deleteOldest parameter (default: 0, opt-in) - When enabled, automatically deletes the oldest duplicate for each path - Determines "oldest" by LocalProfileLoadTime timestamp - Profiles never loaded are considered oldest Safety Features: - Creates .reg backup file before deletion in %TEMP% - Backup filename includes SID and timestamp - Only deletes if backup succeeds - Skips deletion if backup fails (safety first) - Provides detailed logging of actions taken How It Works: 1. Detects duplicate ProfileImagePath entries 2. For each duplicate set, identifies oldest by load timestamp 3. Exports registry key to backup file 4. Deletes oldest registry entry 5. Reports deletion summary Output Changes: - Shows load timestamps for each profile - Indicates which entry will be deleted (when enabled) - Displays backup file locations - Provides post-deletion verification steps Usage: - Detection only (default): Run without parameters - Auto-delete oldest: Set $deleteOldest = 1 in RMM Exit Behavior: - Reports number of deleted entries - Lists backup file locations for rollback 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../msft-detect-duplicate-profiles.ps1 | 126 +++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 111 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-detect-duplicate-profiles.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-detect-duplicate-profiles.ps1 index 2a80e72..c780d34 100644 --- a/msft-windows/msft-detect-duplicate-profiles.ps1 +++ b/msft-windows/msft-detect-duplicate-profiles.ps1 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ ## PLEASE COMMENT YOUR VARIALBES DIRECTLY BELOW HERE IF YOU'RE RUNNING FROM A RMM ## THIS IS HOW WE EASILY LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT VARIABLES NEED SET IN THE RMM ## $RMM +## $deleteOldest - Set to 1 to automatically delete the oldest duplicate profile registry entry (default: 0, detection only) # Getting input from user if not running from RMM else set variables from RMM. @@ -19,6 +20,12 @@ if ($RMM -ne 1) { Write-Host "Invalid input.

Problem: - Microsoft Print to PDF drivers cause Windows 11 upgrade failures - Compatibility scan detects Print to PDF as incompatible - Feature must be fully disabled before upgrade attempts Features: - Detects current state of Print to PDF feature - Disables feature using Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature - Does NOT force immediate reboot (allows scheduling) - Validates feature state before and after operation - Handles DisablePending state (pending reboot) Critical Workflow: 1. Run this script to disable Print to PDF 2. **REBOOT system** (REQUIRED - drivers stay loaded until reboot) 3. Verify feature disabled (optional - run script again) 4. Run Windows 11 upgrade Why Reboot is Required: - Print to PDF drivers remain loaded in memory until reboot - Windows Setup compatibility scan checks running drivers - Feature state is "DisablePending" until reboot completes - Upgrade will fail if drivers are still detected in memory - Reboot fully removes drivers from system Safety Features: - Checks for admin elevation - Uses -NoRestart flag (allows controlled reboot timing) - Validates feature state after operation - Provides clear reboot instructions - Detects already-disabled state Output States: - Enabled → DisablePending (needs reboot) - DisablePending → Reminds user to reboot - Disabled → Confirms ready for upgrade (if rebooted) Usage in RMM: Run as automated task, then schedule reboot, then run upgrade 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- msft-windows/msft-disable-print-to-pdf.ps1 | 194 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 194 insertions(+) create mode 100644 msft-windows/msft-disable-print-to-pdf.ps1 diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-disable-print-to-pdf.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-disable-print-to-pdf.ps1 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..58f200c --- /dev/null +++ b/msft-windows/msft-disable-print-to-pdf.ps1 @@ -0,0 +1,194 @@ +## PLEASE COMMENT YOUR VARIALBES DIRECTLY BELOW HERE IF YOU'RE RUNNING FROM A RMM +## THIS IS HOW WE EASILY LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT VARIABLES NEED SET IN THE RMM +## $RMM + +# Getting input from user if not running from RMM else set variables from RMM. + +$ScriptLogName = "msft-disable-print-to-pdf.log" + +if ($RMM -ne 1) { + $ValidInput = 0 + # Checking for valid input. + while ($ValidInput -ne 1) { + # Ask for input here.

Key improvements: - Auto-creates recovery passwords when BitLocker is enabled but no key exists - User-friendly output with clear status indicators (✓, ✗, →, ℹ) - Per-volume detailed status reporting (encryption %, volume status, key status) - Comprehensive summary report showing totals and actions taken - Better error handling with try/catch blocks throughout - Proper function documentation with .SYNOPSIS blocks - Cleaner code organization and removed unused commented code - Admin privilege check at script start - Tracks all actions: volumes scanned, encrypted, keys created, keys backed up - Safe to run multiple times (idempotent operation) Functions added/improved: - Test-DomainJoined: Better domain join detection with error handling - Get-VolumeEncryptionStatus: Returns detailed encryption status object - Get-RecoveryKeyStatus: Checks for existing recovery keys with count - New-RecoveryKey: Creates recovery password with success verification - Backup-RecoveryKeyToAD: Backs up keys to AD with per-key error handling - Set-BitLockerADBackupPolicy: Cleaner registry configuration with counters Output improvements: - Section headers with visual separators - Clear volume-by-volume breakdown - Summary report with statistics - RMM-ready output variables documented The script now provides enterprise-grade BitLocker management with clear visibility into what actions were taken on each volume. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- msft-windows/msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.ps1 | 485 ++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 397 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.ps1 index 0324fd7..31ee9fd 100644 --- a/msft-windows/msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.ps1 +++ b/msft-windows/msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.ps1 @@ -1,10 +1,24 @@ -## PLEASE COMMENT YOUR VARIALBES DIRECTLY BELOW HERE IF YOU'RE RUNNING FROM A RMM +## PLEASE COMMENT YOUR VARIABLES DIRECTLY BELOW HERE IF YOU'RE RUNNING FROM A RMM ## THIS IS HOW WE EASILY LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT VARIABLES NEED SET IN THE RMM +## $RMM +## $Description + +### ————— MSP RMM VARIABLE INITIALIZATION GOES HERE ————— +# Example for NinjaRMM: +# $RMM = 1 +# $Description = Ninja custom field or automatic +# +# Example for ConnectWise Automate: +# $RMM = 1 +# $Description = %description% +# +# Example for Datto RMM: +# $RMM = 1 +# $Description = $env:description +### ————— END RMM VARIABLE INITIALIZATION ————— # Getting input from user if not running from RMM else set variables from RMM. -# This script should only be run from a RMM - $ScriptLogName = "msft-win-bitlocker-inventory.log" if ($RMM -ne 1) { @@ -20,25 +34,23 @@ if ($RMM -ne 1) { Write-Host "Invalid input.

Split New-RecoveryKey into two functions: - New-RecoveryPassword: Creates 48-digit numerical passwords - New-RecoveryKey: Creates .BEK file protectors - Renamed Backup-RecoveryKeyToAD → Backup-RecoveryProtectorsToAD - Backs up BOTH passwords and keys to Active Directory - Handles each protector type separately with error handling - Updated main logic to: - Check for both passwords and keys - Create both if missing - Display separate status lines for each type - Store passwords in RMM, both types in AD Storage architecture: - Active Directory: Both passwords AND keys (complete backup) - RMM Custom Fields: Passwords only (quick access for unlock) - Transcript Log: Full details including all passwords Output improvements: - Separate status lines: "Recovery Password: EXISTS" and "Recovery Key: EXISTS" - Updated summary to show "recovery protectors" instead of "keys" - Comprehensive documentation on what's stored where and why This provides triple redundancy with proper separation: - AD has complete recovery capability (passwords + keys) - RMM has quick-access passwords for common unlock scenarios -

Only one key protector of this type is allowed for this drive") that occurred when running script on drives that already have protectors but aren't fully encrypted yet. Changes: - Enhanced Get-VolumeEncryptionStatus to detect existing TPM and password protectors - Updated Enable-BitLockerWithTPM to check for existing TPM protector before adding - Updated Enable-BitLockerWithAutoUnlock to check for existing password protector - Added detection for volumes with encryption IN PROGRESS (has protectors but not fully enabled) - Script now properly handles re-running on partially encrypted systems - Added Resume-BitLocker calls to continue encryption if paused Error Handling: - Detects and gracefully handles existing TPM protectors on OS volumes - Detects and gracefully handles existing password protectors on data volumes - Continues encryption process if already started but not complete - Enables auto-unlock on data volumes even if already configured Fixed Drives Only: - Script processes only DriveType 'Fixed' (internal drives) - Does NOT process removable drives (USB, external drives) - Does NOT use BitLocker To Go - Focuses on TPM-based encryption for fixed internal drives only This makes the script idempotent and safe to re-run during active encryption. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 | 77 ++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 73 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 index 328dc68..4e41e6b 100644 --- a/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 +++ b/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 @@ -168,11 +168,18 @@ function Get-VolumeEncryptionStatus { try { $volume = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint $MountPoint -ErrorAction Stop + + # Check for existing protector types + $hasTpmProtector = ($volume.KeyProtector | Where-Object { $_.KeyProtectorType -eq 'Tpm' }) -ne $null + $hasPasswordProtector = ($volume.KeyProtector | Where-Object { $_.KeyProtectorType -eq 'Password' }) -ne $null + return @{ IsProtected = ($volume.ProtectionStatus -eq "On") EncryptionPercentage = $volume.EncryptionPercentage VolumeStatus = $volume.VolumeStatus KeyProtectors = $volume.KeyProtector + HasTpmProtector = $hasTpmProtector + HasPasswordProtector = $hasPasswordProtector } } catch { Write-Warning "Could not get BitLocker status for $MountPoint : $_" @@ -191,13 +198,32 @@ function Enable-BitLockerWithTPM { ) try { + # Check if TPM protector already exists + $volume = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint $MountPoint -ErrorAction Stop + $hasTpmProtector = ($volume.KeyProtector | Where-Object { $_.KeyProtectorType -eq 'Tpm' }) -ne $null + + if ($hasTpmProtector) { + Write-Output " ℹ TPM protector already exists, skipping TPM protector creation" + Write-Output " → Starting BitLocker encryption (if not already started)..." + + # Try to resume or start protection + try { + Resume-BitLocker -MountPoint $MountPoint -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null + } catch { + # Resume might fail if already enabled, that's okay + } + + Write-Output " ✓ BitLocker encryption in progress with existing TPM protector" + return @{ Success = $true; AlreadyConfigured = $true } + } + Write-Output " → Enabling BitLocker with TPM protector (OS Volume)..." # Enable BitLocker with TPM Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint $MountPoint -EncryptionMethod XtsAes256 -TpmProtector -SkipHardwareTest -ErrorAction Stop Write-Output " ✓ BitLocker enabled successfully with TPM" -

Check for existing recovery passwords before creating new ones - Check for existing recovery keys before creating new ones - Only create recovery protectors if they're missing - Report count of existing protectors when found - Prevents duplicate recovery protectors on repeated runs - Truly idempotent for partial enablement scenarios RMM Path Logic Fix: - Fixed backwards logic for $RMMScriptPath check - Changed: if ($null -eq $RMMScriptPath) to if ($null -ne $RMMScriptPath) - Prevents log path from becoming "\logs\..." without drive letter - Ensures proper C:\Windows\logs\ fallback when RMM path not available Before this fix: - Script created new recovery passwords/keys every time it ran - Multiple recovery protectors accumulated on each run - Log path could be malformed in RMM execution After this fix: - Script checks for existing recovery protectors first - Only creates protectors if missing - Reports existing protectors with count - Proper log path in all execution modes - Safe to run multiple times during partial enablement Example output: "ℹ Recovery password already exists (2 found)" "ℹ Recovery key already exists (1 found)" 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 | 72 +++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 49 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 b/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 index 4e41e6b..0bf37f0 100644 --- a/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 +++ b/msft-windows/msft-windows-enable-bitlocker.ps1 @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ if ($RMM -ne 1) { } else { # Store the logs in the RMMScriptPath -
