# Glaztech PDF Preview Fix

**Client:** Glaztech Industries
**Issue:** Windows 10/11 PDF preview failures after security updates
**Root Cause:** KB5066791 and KB5066835 security updates add Mark of the Web (MOTW) to files from network shares
**Impact:** Users cannot preview PDFs in Windows Explorer from network locations

---

## Problem Summary

Recent Windows security updates (KB5066791, KB5066835) changed how Windows handles files downloaded from network shares. These files now receive a "Zone.Identifier" alternate data stream (Mark of the Web) that blocks preview functionality as a security measure.

**Symptoms:**
- PDF files cannot be previewed in Windows Explorer Preview Pane
- Files may show "This file came from another computer and might be blocked"
- Right-click → Properties shows "Unblock" button
- Preview works after manually unblocking individual files

**Affected Systems:**
- Windows 10 (with KB5066791 or KB5066835)
- Windows 11 (with KB5066791 or KB5066835)
- Files accessed from network shares (UNC paths)

## Solution Overview

This solution provides **three deployment methods**:

1. **PowerShell Script** - Immediate fix, run on individual or bulk computers
2. **Group Policy (GPO)** - Permanent solution, automatic deployment
3. **GuruRMM** - MSP deployment via RMM platform

All methods configure:
- ✅ Unblock existing PDF files (remove Zone.Identifier)
- ✅ Add Glaztech networks to trusted Intranet zone
- ✅ Disable SmartScreen for internal resources
- ✅ Enable PDF preview handlers

---

## Configuration Details

### Networks Automatically Trusted

The script automatically adds these to the Intranet security zone:

**Domains:**
- `glaztech.com`
- `*.glaztech.com`

**IP Ranges (All 10 Glaztech Sites):**
- `192.168.0.*` (Site 1)
- `192.168.1.*` (Site 2)
- `192.168.2.*` (Site 3)
- `192.168.3.*` (Site 4)
- `192.168.4.*` (Site 5)
- `192.168.5.*` (Site 6)
- `192.168.6.*` (Site 7)
- `192.168.7.*` (Site 8)
- `192.168.8.*` (Site 9)
- `192.168.9.*` (Site 10)

### Additional Servers (To Be Added)

**TODO:** Update script parameters when file server details are available:

```powershell
# Example - add these parameters when deploying:
$ServerNames = @(
    "fileserver01",
    "192.168.1.50",
    "glaztech-nas01",
    "glaztech-sharepoint"
)

.\Fix-PDFPreview-Glaztech.ps1 -ServerNames $ServerNames
```

**Waiting on user to provide:**
- File server hostnames
- File server IP addresses
- SharePoint URLs (if applicable)
- NAS device names (if applicable)

---

## Deployment Strategy

### Phase 1: Pilot Testing (1-5 Computers)

1. **Select test computers** representing different sites/configurations
2. **Run script manually** on test computers:
   ```powershell
   .\Fix-PDFPreview-Glaztech.ps1 -WhatIf  # Preview changes
   .\Fix-PDFPreview-Glaztech.ps1          # Apply changes
   ```
3. **Verify PDF preview works** on network shares
4. **Check for side effects** (ensure other functionality not affected)
5. **Review logs:** `C:\Temp\Glaztech-PDF-Fix.log`

### Phase 2: Bulk Deployment (All Computers)

**Option A: GuruRMM (Recommended)**
```powershell
.\Deploy-PDFFix-BulkRemote.ps1 -UseGuruRMM
# Upload to GuruRMM
# Schedule during maintenance window
# Execute on all Glaztech computers
```

**Option B: PowerShell Remoting**
```powershell
# Get all computers from Active Directory
$AllComputers = Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -like "*Windows 10*" -or OperatingSystem -like "*Windows 11*"} -SearchBase "DC=glaztech,DC=com" | Select -ExpandProperty Name

# Deploy to all
.\Deploy-PDFFix-BulkRemote.ps1 -ComputerNames $AllComputers

# Or deploy by site
$Site1Computers = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Site1,OU=Computers,DC=glaztech,DC=com" | Select -ExpandProperty Name
.\Deploy-PDFFix-BulkRemote.ps1 -ComputerNames $Site1Computers
```

### Phase 3: Group Policy (Long-Term Solution)

1. **Follow:** `GPO-Configuration-Guide.md`
2. **Create GPO:** "Glaztech - PDF Preview Fix"
3. **Link to OUs:** All computer OUs
4. **Test on pilot group first**
5. **Roll out to all OUs**

**Benefits of GPO:**
- Automatic deployment to new computers
- Consistent configuration across all systems
- Centrally managed and auditable
- Persists across Windows updates

## Verification

After deployment, verify the fix on affected computers:

1. **Check log file:**
   ```powershell
   Get-Content C:\Temp\Glaztech-PDF-Fix.log
   ```

2. **Test PDF preview:**
   - Open File Explorer
   - Navigate to network share with PDFs (e.g., `\\fileserver\documents`)
   - Select a PDF file
   - Enable Preview Pane (View → Preview Pane)
   - PDF should display in preview

3. **Verify zone configuration:**
   ```powershell
   # Check if glaztech.com is in Intranet zone
   Get-ItemProperty "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\com\glaztech"

   # Check SmartScreen disabled for Intranet
   Get-ItemProperty "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" -Name "2702"
   # Should return 0 (disabled)
   ```

4. **Check for Zone.Identifier on PDFs:**
   ```powershell
   # Pick a PDF file
   $PDFFile = "C:\Users\username\Desktop\test.pdf"

   # Check for Zone.Identifier
   Get-Item $PDFFile -Stream Zone.Identifier -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
   # Should return nothing (file is unblocked)
   ```

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: Script execution blocked

**Error:** "Running scripts is disabled on this system"

**Solution:**
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
```

### Problem: PDF preview still not working

**Possible Causes:**
1. Windows Explorer needs restart
   ```powershell
   Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force
   ```

2. File server not in trusted zone
   - Add server explicitly: `.\Fix-PDFPreview-Glaztech.ps1 -ServerNames "servername"`

3. PDF files still blocked
   - Run script again to unblock new files
   - Or manually unblock: `Unblock-File "\\server\share\file.pdf"`

4. PDF preview handler disabled
   - Settings → Apps → Default apps → Choose default apps by file type
   - Set `.pdf` to Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Edge

### Problem: PowerShell remoting fails

**Error:** "WinRM cannot process the request"

**Solution:**
```powershell
# On target computer (or via GPO):
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "*" -Force
```

### Problem: GuruRMM deployment fails

**Possible Causes:**
1. Script blocked by execution policy
   - Ensure GuruRMM task uses: `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`

2. Insufficient permissions
   - GuruRMM should run as SYSTEM or local administrator

3. Network timeout
   - Increase GuruRMM task timeout setting

---

## Rollback

If issues occur after applying the fix:

1. **Remove Intranet zone sites manually:**
   ```powershell
   Remove-Item "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\com\glaztech" -Recurse -Force
   ```

2. **Re-enable SmartScreen for Intranet:**
   ```powershell
   Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" -Name "2702" -Value 1
   ```

3. **Remove GPO (if deployed):**
   - GPMC → Unlink or delete "Glaztech - PDF Preview Fix" GPO
   - Force update: `gpupdate /force`

---

## Security Considerations

**What This Script Does:**
- ✅ Adds Glaztech internal networks to trusted zone (safe for internal resources)
- ✅ Disables SmartScreen for internal sites only (not Internet sites)
- ✅ Removes Zone.Identifier from files on trusted shares
- ✅ Does NOT disable Windows Defender or other security features
- ✅ Does NOT affect Internet security settings

**What Remains Protected:**
- Internet downloads still blocked by SmartScreen
- External sites not affected
- Windows Defender continues scanning files
- UAC prompts remain active
- Firewall rules unchanged

**Best Practices:**
- Only add trusted internal servers to Intranet zone
- Do NOT add external/Internet sites
- Review server list before deployment
- Monitor for unusual network activity
- Keep Windows Defender and antivirus enabled
