description: Reliably create/repoint Windows network drive maps and share shortcuts on a remote endpoint via GuruRMM. Bakes in the things that make this fight every time — runs in the user session (not SYSTEM, so maps actually appear), stores the per-host credential with cmdkey (the workgroup-PC-to-domain-share case), makes maps persistent, repoints/removes stale NAS shortcuts, and verifies access. Built for the Cascades NAS -> CS-SERVER migration but generic.

# drive-map — remote drive maps & share shortcuts that actually stick
|
||||
|
||||
`net use` from RMM "doesn't work" for predictable reasons, and we kept re-solving
|
||||
them by hand. This skill encodes the fixes so a repoint is one command.
|
||||
|
||||
## The four things that make mapped drives fight you (and the fix this skill bakes in)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **SYSTEM context is invisible to the user.** RMM runs as SYSTEM by default. A
|
||||
drive mapped/shortcut written as SYSTEM lands in SYSTEM's profile, NOT the
|
||||
logged-on user's — so the user sees nothing and you think it "failed."
|
||||
**Fix:** every operation here runs `context: user_session`. It uses the user's
|
||||
token, `[Environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop')`, and the user's credential
|
||||
vault. **Requires an active (logged-on) desktop session** — locked is usually
|
||||
OK, logged-off is not. If no session, the skill reports it instead of silently
|
||||
no-opping.
|
||||
2. **Workgroup PC -> domain share = Access Denied** unless a credential is stored.
|
||||
A machine that is not domain-joined (e.g. `DESKTOP-LPOPV30`, WORKGROUP, local
|
||||
login) has no Kerberos/NTLM identity the server trusts. It must present a
|
||||
**stored** credential for that exact server host.
|
||||
**Fix:** `cred`/`migrate` run `cmdkey /add:<HOST> /user:<DOMAIN\user> /pass:…`
|
||||
in the user session so the credential lands in the user's Credential Manager,
|
||||
keyed to the server host used in the UNC. (This is precisely how Karen reaches
|
||||
the NAS today: `cmdkey` target `CASCADESDS`, user `karen rossini`.)
|
||||
3. **Maps vanish on logoff.** `net use` without persistence is gone next login.
|
||||
**Fix:** persistent by default (`/persistent:yes`); cmdkey credential is
|
||||
persistent too, so the map reconnects without a prompt.
|
||||
4. **Stale NAS shortcuts/maps linger.** The old `\\cascadesds\…` shortcut and the
|
||||
live connection confuse users mid-migration.
|
||||
**Fix:** `--remove-old <UNC-prefix>` repoints or deletes desktop shortcuts that
|
||||
target the old prefix, drops the old drive letter, and removes the old cmdkey.
|
||||
|
||||
## Credential handling (read this)
|
||||
|
||||
- The password is read from the **SOPS vault** (`--cred-vault` + `--cred-field`),
|
||||
never passed as plaintext on the command line (CLAUDE.md rule).
|
||||
- **Caveat — it transits RMM.** cmdkey needs the plaintext on the endpoint, so the
|
||||
password appears in the dispatched command text, which RMM stores in command
|
||||
history (admin-only, internal). For a sensitive account, purge that history
|
||||
entry afterward or rotate. The skill never prints the password to stdout/errorlog.
|
||||
- For a domain account whose password we don't have, the correct move on a DC we
|
||||
control is to set it deliberately and vault it first — do that, then run `cred`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bash .claude/skills/drive-map/scripts/drive-map.sh <verb> --host <name> [opts]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Verb | Does |
|
||||
|------|------|
|
||||
| `verify` | Test-Path the target UNC/letter from the user session; report reachable or not. Read-only. |
|
||||
| `cred` | Store a per-host credential (`cmdkey /add`) so the user can reach a server. |
|
||||
| `map` | Map a drive letter to `\\HOST\Share` (persistent), optionally storing the cred first. |
|
||||
| `shortcut` | Drop a desktop `.lnk` to a UNC target (optionally pin to Quick Access). |
|
||||
| `unmap` | Remove a drive letter and/or desktop shortcuts pointing at `--remove-old`, and the old cmdkey. |
|
||||
| `migrate` | The all-in-one repoint: remove/repoint old shortcut, store new cred, map and/or shortcut the new target, verify. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
--host NAME RMM hostname (required; resolved to agent id, must be Windows + online)
|
||||
--server '\\HOST\Share' target share for a drive map
|
||||
--target '\\HOST\Share\Sub' UNC for a shortcut / verify
|
||||
--letter X drive letter for map/unmap (no colon)
|
||||
--name NAME shortcut filename (default: leaf of --target)
|
||||
--cred-user 'DOMAIN\user' identity to store (e.g. CASCADES\karen.rossini)
|
||||
--cred-vault PATH sops path holding the password (e.g. clients/cascades-tucson/...sops.yaml)
|
||||
--cred-field FIELD field within the vault entry (default: credentials.password)
|
||||
--remove-old '\\oldhost\share' prefix of stale shortcuts/connections to strip (migrate/unmap)
|
||||
--quick-access also pin --target to Quick Access (best-effort; Shell verb)
|
||||
--no-persistent non-persistent map (default is persistent)
|
||||
--profile-hint NAME substring to disambiguate the user when several are logged on
|
||||
--dry-run print the generated PowerShell, do not dispatch
|
||||
--timeout N dispatch timeout seconds (default 90)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Karen: workgroup PC, repoint NAS ALDocs shortcut to CS-SERVER, store her domain cred
|
||||
bash .claude/skills/drive-map/scripts/drive-map.sh migrate \
|
||||
--host DESKTOP-LPOPV30 \
|
||||
--target '\\CS-SERVER\Server\ALDocs' --name ALDocs --quick-access \
|
||||
--remove-old '\\cascadesds\Server' \
|
||||
--cred-user 'CASCADES\karen.rossini' \
|
||||
--cred-vault clients/cascades-tucson/karen-rossini.sops.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Just check a user can reach the new share
|
||||
bash .claude/skills/drive-map/scripts/drive-map.sh verify --host DESKTOP-LPOPV30 \
|
||||
--target '\\CS-SERVER\Server\ALDocs'
|
||||
|
||||
# Map a letter for a domain-joined user (no cred needed)
|
||||
bash .claude/skills/drive-map/scripts/drive-map.sh map --host SOME-PC \
|
||||
--server '\\CS-SERVER\SalesDept' --letter S
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hard rules
|
||||
|
||||
- **Always `verify` first and last.** Confirm the target is reachable for that user
|
||||
before declaring success — a green `net use` line is not proof of access.
|
||||
- **One user at a time, with a session.** If no interactive user is logged on, stop
|
||||
and say so; do not "succeed" against SYSTEM's profile.
|
||||
- **Additive to permissions.** This skill never touches share/NTFS ACLs. If the user
|
||||
lacks rights on the target, fix that on the server side (group membership), not here.
|
||||
- **Confirm before mutating a live user's desktop** during business hours unless told
|
||||
to proceed — it is outward-facing (the user sees their desktop change).
|
||||
- On any genuine failure the script calls `log-skill-error.sh` (per CLAUDE.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
- `scripts/drive-map.sh` — bash orchestrator: RMM auth (`rmm-auth.sh`), agent
|
||||
resolution, vault read for the password, generates the endpoint PowerShell,
|
||||
dispatches it `context: user_session`, polls, reports. All endpoint logic runs
|
||||
in the user session by design (see fix #1).
|
||||
- No endpoint install; the PowerShell is generated per call and dispatched via RMM.

## Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Resumed the paused Cascades of Tucson Windows Home -> Pro upgrade workstream (prereq for
|
||||
domain-joining the remaining staff PCs; Windows Home cannot domain-join). Started by loading
|
||||
context from the wiki, `REMAINING-WORK-PLAN.md`, and the `feedback_windows_pro_upgrade_billing`
|
||||
memory, then ran a live RMM status check on the 5 target Home machines. Of the five
|
||||
(LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI, MDIRECTOR-PC, MEMRECEPT-PC, NurseAssist, SALES4-PC), three were online,
|
||||
NurseAssist was offline (and flagged as a possible duplicate of Assistnurse-pc), and SALES4-PC
|
||||
was offline and bypassed per the decision to repurpose Tamra's departing machine.
|
||||
|
||||
Per Howard's direction, ran the edition upgrade using the generic public Pro key first to verify
|
||||
the process before consuming a MAK count. Confirmed all three online boxes were `EditionID=Core`
|
||||
(Home) with no logged-on users, then dispatched `changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T`
|
||||
via RMM. As SYSTEM, changepk flips the edition in-place without auto-rebooting, which left the
|
||||
registry EditionID and the licensing service out of sync. A single reboot per machine reconciled
|
||||
them: all three came back reading Professional. MDIRECTOR-PC self-activated as genuine Pro via a
|
||||
built-in digital entitlement (no MAK, no charge). The other two needed activation.
|
||||
|
||||
Applied the ACG MAK to MEMRECEPT-PC and LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI (`slmgr /ipk` + `/ato`). Discovered the
|
||||
ACG MAK is actually a Windows Pro *for Workstations* MAK — `/ipk` retargets the edition to
|
||||
ProfessionalWorkstation (a higher SKU, fine for domain join). LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI activated; MEMRECEPT-PC
|
||||
hit a transient `0x8004FE92` on first `/ato` and activated on retry. Both Licensed via VOLUME_MAK.
|
||||
|
||||
Created Syncro ticket #32466 under Cascades, added a customer-visible work note, created a reusable
|
||||
taxable "Windows Pro Upgrade" product ($99), and invoiced: 2x $99 keys (MEMRECEPT-PC, LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI,
|
||||
machine named per line) plus 1.0h remote labor. Cascades has a 47.75h prepaid block, so the labor
|
||||
auto-deducted ($0 on the invoice, block -> 46.75); invoice total $215.23 with AZ tax on the keys.
|
||||
MDIRECTOR-PC was not billed (free digital activation).
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- Generic Pro key first, MAK second — verify the edition flip works before consuming/billing a MAK
|
||||
count (Howard's explicit instruction).
|
||||
- Did the upgrades remotely via RMM rather than waiting for the onsite batch, since no users were
|
||||
logged in (~8:45 PM Tucson) so the reboots were non-disruptive.
|
||||
- Rebooted to reconcile the half-applied edition state (changepk as SYSTEM does not auto-reboot;
|
||||
registry vs licensing diverge until a reboot).
|
||||
- MDIRECTOR-PC self-activated free via digital entitlement -> NOT billed (billing rule keys $99 to
|
||||
MAK usage, which was not consumed for that machine).
|
||||
- Created a dedicated taxable "Windows Pro Upgrade" Syncro product (id 23571919, $99) for clean
|
||||
QuickBooks mapping and reuse on future Home->Pro billing; taxable to match ACG's other license
|
||||
products (Howard confirmed).
|
||||
- 1.0h remote labor drawn from the Cascades prepaid block (standard behavior for a block customer).
|
||||
|
||||
## Problems Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
- First changepk dispatch failed before running: doubled single-quotes around a PowerShell registry
|
||||
path inside a single-quoted bash `$SCRIPT` collapsed the string, leaving the "Windows NT" path
|
||||
unquoted; `$ErrorActionPreference="Stop"` aborted on line 1, so changepk never executed (machines
|
||||
untouched). Fixed by using double-quotes for paths inside the single-quoted bash script. Logged to
|
||||
errorlog as --friction (ref feedback_windows_quote_stripping).
|
||||
- MEMRECEPT-PC `/ato` transient `0x8004FE92` on first attempt -> succeeded on retry (ancient Pentium
|
||||
box on a 100 Mbps NIC; likely a momentary reach to the activation server).
|
||||
- LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI briefly reported `EditionID=Enterprise` mid-transition; self-resolved to Professional
|
||||
after the reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- Modified: `clients/cascades-tucson/docs/REMAINING-WORK-PLAN.md` — recorded the 3 boxes upgraded to
|
||||
Pro (process, results, billing) and that NurseAssist/SALES4-PC remain pending.
|
||||
- Modified: `.claude/memory/feedback_windows_pro_upgrade_billing.md` — MAK is Pro-for-Workstations;
|
||||
the working remote flow; per-machine activation status; invoiced status (#32466).
|
||||
- Appended: `errorlog.md` — bash/PowerShell quoting friction entry.
|
||||
- Created (in Syncro, not repo): Windows Pro Upgrade product, ticket #32466, invoice #1650806091.
|
||||
|
||||
## Credentials & Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
- ACG Windows Pro (for Workstations) MAK: vault `infrastructure/windows-pro-mak.sops.yaml`, field
|
||||
`credentials.product_key`. Used `/ipk` + `/ato` on MEMRECEPT-PC and LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI (2 counts
|
||||
consumed). No new secrets created. Generic public Pro key (not secret): VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T.

- Syncro: Cascades of Tucson customer_id 20149445; prepay block 47.75 -> 46.75 hrs.
|

|
||||
## Commands & Outputs
|
||||
|
||||
- Edition flip (per machine, as SYSTEM): `changepk.exe /productkey VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T`
|
||||
-> EditionID Core->Professional, exitcode 0, no auto-reboot. Reboot once to sync registry+licensing.
|
||||
- Activation: `cscript //nologo slmgr.vbs /ipk <MAK>` then `/ato`; retry `/ato` if `0x8004FE92`.
|
||||
Verify with `/dli` (License Status: Licensed, VOLUME_MAK).
|
||||
- Trust `EditionID` over `ProductName` (ProductName reads "Windows 10 Home" on Win11 boxes - stale).
|
||||
|
||||
## Pending / Incomplete Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- Domain-join the 3 now-Pro boxes (MDIRECTOR-PC, MEMRECEPT-PC, LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI) into cascades.local
|
||||
-> dept OUs -> drives. Deferred to tomorrow (Howard).
|
||||
- NurseAssist: offline; verify it is a real distinct machine vs a duplicate of Assistnurse-pc before
|
||||
upgrading/joining.
|
||||
- SALES4-PC: bypassed (Tamra departing); decide repurpose vs upgrade.
|
||||
- Broader Cascades migration workstreams continue per REMAINING-WORK-PLAN.md.
