# Dataforth DOS Deployment - Current Status

**Updated:** 2026-01-19 1:15 PM
**System:** DOS 6.22 Update System for ~30 QC Test Machines

---

## Summary

All batch files and documentation are COMPLETE and ready for deployment. The outstanding issue (AD2 sync location) has been RESOLVED.

---

## COMPLETE [OK]

### 1. Batch Files Created (8 files)
All DOS 6.22 compatible, ready to deploy:

- **NWTOC.BAT** - Download updates from network
- **CTONW.BAT** - Upload changes to network
- **UPDATE.BAT** - Full system backup (fixed for DOS 6.22)
- **STAGE.BAT** - System file staging
- **REBOOT.BAT** - Auto-apply updates on reboot
- **CHECKUPD.BAT** - Check for available updates
- **STARTNET.BAT** - Network initialization
- **AUTOEXEC.BAT** - System startup template

### 2. Documentation Created (5 documents)
Comprehensive guides for deployment and operation:

- **NWTOC_ANALYSIS.md** - Technical analysis and design
- **UPDATE_WORKFLOW.md** - Complete workflow guide with examples
- **DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md** - Step-by-step deployment instructions
- **DOS_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md** - Deployment and testing checklist
- **NWTOC_COMPLETE_SUMMARY.md** - Executive summary

### 3. Key Features Implemented

- [OK] Automatic updates (single command: NWTOC)
- [OK] Safe system file updates (staging prevents corruption)
- [OK] Automatic reboot handling (user sees clear message)
- [OK] Error protection (clear markers, errors don't scroll)
- [OK] Progress visibility (compact output, status messages)
- [OK] Rollback capability (.BAK and .SAV backups)

### 4. AD2 Sync Mechanism - FOUND [OK]

**RESOLVED:** The outstanding sync mechanism issue has been resolved.

**Location:** `C:\Shares\test\scripts\Sync-FromNAS.ps1`
**Status:** Running successfully (last run: 2026-01-19 12:09 PM)
**Schedule:** Every 15 minutes via Windows Scheduled Task
**Direction:** Bidirectional (AD2 ↔ NAS)

**How it works:**

- **PULL (NAS → AD2):** Test results from DOS machines
  - DAT files imported to database
  - Files deleted from NAS after sync

- **PUSH (AD2 → NAS):** Software updates for DOS machines
  - COMMON updates → all machines
  - Station-specific updates → individual machines
  - Syncs every 15 minutes automatically

**Admin deploys updates by:**
1. Copy files to `\\AD2\test\COMMON\ProdSW\` (for all machines)
2. OR copy to `\\AD2\test\TS-XX\ProdSW\` (for specific machine)
3. Wait up to 15 minutes for auto-sync to NAS
4. DOS machine runs `NWTOC` to download updates

**Updated documentation:**
- [OK] DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md - Updated Step 2 with correct AD2 sync info
- [OK] credentials.md - Added AD2-NAS Sync System section with complete details

---

## READY FOR DEPLOYMENT [START]

### Pre-Deployment Steps

1. **Copy batch files to AD2:**
   - Source: `D:\ClaudeTools\*.BAT`
   - Destination: `\\AD2\test\COMMON\ProdSW\`
   - Files: NWTOC.BAT, CTONW.BAT, UPDATE.BAT, STAGE.BAT, REBOOT.BAT, CHECKUPD.BAT
   - Wait 15 minutes for auto-sync to NAS

2. **Test on single machine (TS-4R recommended):**
   - Update AUTOEXEC.BAT with MACHINE=TS-4R
   - Reboot machine
   - Run `NWTOC` to download updates
   - Test all batch files
   - Verify system file update workflow (STAGE → REBOOT)

3. **Deploy to pilot machines:**
   - TS-7A and TS-12B
   - Verify common updates work
   - Test machine-specific updates

4. **Full rollout:**
   - Deploy to remaining ~27 machines
   - Set up DattoRMM monitoring

---

## Deployment Workflow

### For Admin (Deploying Updates)

**Deploy to all machines:**
```
1. Copy files to \\AD2\test\COMMON\ProdSW\
2. Wait 15 minutes (auto-sync)
3. Notify users to run NWTOC on their machines
```

**Deploy to specific machine:**
```
1. Copy files to \\AD2\test\TS-4R\ProdSW\
2. Wait 15 minutes (auto-sync)
3. User runs NWTOC on TS-4R
```

**Deploy new AUTOEXEC.BAT:**
```
1. Copy to \\AD2\test\COMMON\DOS\AUTOEXEC.NEW
2. Wait 15 minutes (auto-sync)
3. Users run NWTOC (auto-calls STAGE.BAT)
4. Users reboot
5. REBOOT.BAT applies update automatically
```

### For DOS Machine User

**Check for updates:**
```
C:\> CHECKUPD
```

**Download and install updates:**
```
C:\> NWTOC
```

**If "REBOOT REQUIRED" message appears:**
```
C:\> Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot
(REBOOT.BAT runs automatically on startup)
```

**Backup machine:**
```
C:\> UPDATE
```

## Testing Checklist

Before full deployment, test on TS-4R:

- [ ] Configure AUTOEXEC.BAT with MACHINE=TS-4R
- [ ] Verify network drives map on boot (T: and X:)
- [ ] Test CHECKUPD (check for updates without downloading)
- [ ] Test NWTOC (download and install updates)
- [ ] Test UPDATE (full backup to T:\TS-4R\BACKUP\)
- [ ] Test CTONW (upload machine-specific changes)
- [ ] Test CTONW COMMON (upload to common area)
- [ ] Test system file update workflow:
  - [ ] Place AUTOEXEC.NEW in \\AD2\test\COMMON\DOS\
  - [ ] Wait for sync
  - [ ] Run NWTOC
  - [ ] Verify STAGE.BAT creates .SAV backups
  - [ ] Verify "REBOOT REQUIRED" message
  - [ ] Reboot machine
  - [ ] Verify REBOOT.BAT applies update
  - [ ] Verify new AUTOEXEC.BAT is active
- [ ] Test rollback from .SAV files
- [ ] Test rollback from .BAK files
- [ ] Test rollback from full backup
