-
Completed C: Drive Behavioral Rules Integration
- Created
/save,/context,/synccommands in.claude/commands/ - Created comprehensive
credentials.mdwith all infrastructure details - Updated
.claude/claude.mdwith context recovery system - Established session-logs/ directory structure
- Created
-
Located AD2 Sync Mechanism (Outstanding Issue Resolved)
- Found sync script:
C:\Shares\test\scripts\Sync-FromNAS.ps1 - Verified running every 15 minutes via scheduled task
- Last verified: 2026-01-19 12:09 PM
- Updated DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md with correct AD2 sync information
- Updated credentials.md with sync system details
- Found sync script:
-
Deployed DOS Batch Files to Production
- Successfully copied 6 batch files to AD2
- Deployed to both
COMMON\ProdSW\and_COMMON\ProdSW\ - Files will auto-sync to NAS within 15 minutes
- Created reusable deployment scripts (copy-to-ad2.ps1, verify-ad2-files.ps1)
-
Fixed Critical Issues in CTONW.BAT v1.1
- Analyzed CTONW.BAT and found 3 issues
- Fixed missing subdirectory support (XCOPY /S)
- Added COMMON upload confirmation prompt (safety feature)
- Updated from v1.0 to v1.1
- Re-deployed fixed version to AD2
-
Created DEPLOY.BAT - One-Time Deployment Installer
- 286-line batch file for DOS machines
- Prompts for machine name (TS-4R, TS-7A, etc.)
- Backs up AUTOEXEC.BAT to AUTOEXEC.SAV
- Adds SET MACHINE variable to AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Copies all 6 batch files to C:\BAT\
- Creates deployment log
- Deployed to AD2 at C:\Shares\test\
-
Fixed CRITICAL Test Data Routing Issue in CTONW v1.2
- Discovery: CTONW v1.1 uploaded test data to ProdSW folder
- Problem: Sync script expects test data in LOGS folder for database import
- Solution: Created CTONW v1.2 with separate workflows:
- Programs (.EXE, .BAT, .CFG, .TXT) → ProdSW (for distribution)
- Test data (.DAT files) → LOGS (for database import)
- Subdirectory mapping: 8BDATA→8BLOG, DSCDATA→DSCLOG, etc.
- Deployed v1.2 to AD2
-
Added Root-Level File Sync to NAS
- Modified Sync-FromNAS.ps1 on AD2 to sync UPDATE.BAT and DEPLOY.BAT to NAS root
- Created copy-root-files-to-ad2.ps1
- Copied both files to C:\Shares\test\ root
- Verified sync at 12:55:14 - DEPLOY.BAT successfully pushed to NAS root
- Files now accessible at T:\UPDATE.BAT and T:\DEPLOY.BAT
What Was Accomplished - Part 2 (VPN System)
-
Created Peaceful Spirit VPN Setup Scripts
- Created Create-PeacefulSpiritVPN.ps1 (interactive version, 207 lines)
- Created Setup-PeacefulSpiritVPN.ps1 (pre-filled credentials, 164 lines)
- Created VPN_QUICK_SETUP.md (comprehensive guide, 307 lines)
- Updated credentials.md with complete VPN section
-
Added Split Tunneling and Route Configuration
- User requirement: UniFi router at Peaceful Spirit CC location
- Network: 192.168.0.0/24 (CC network)
- DNS Server: 192.168.0.2
- Gateway: 192.168.0.10
- Added split tunneling: Only CC traffic uses VPN, internet uses local connection
- Added VpnConnectionRoute for 192.168.0.0/24
- Configured DNS server for VPN interface
-
Fixed Authentication Error - PAP to MS-CHAPv2
- User error: "The current encryption selection requires EAP or MS-CHAPv2"
- Root cause: PAP authentication doesn't support Required encryption with L2TP/IPSec
- Solution: Changed authentication from PAP to MS-CHAPv2
- Updated all scripts and documentation
- Fixed in Setup-PeacefulSpiritVPN.ps1, Create-PeacefulSpiritVPN.ps1, credentials.md, VPN_QUICK_SETUP.md
Key Decisions Made
-
DOS Test Data Routing
- Decision: Separate ProdSW (software distribution) from LOGS (database import)
- Rationale: Sync script expects test data in LOGS folder with specific subdirectory structure
- Implementation: CTONW v1.2 with separate upload workflows
-
VPN Authentication Method
- Decision: Use MS-CHAPv2 instead of PAP
- Rationale: MS-CHAPv2 is required for L2TP/IPSec with Required encryption level
- Implementation: Updated all VPN scripts and documentation
-
VPN Split Tunneling
- Decision: Enable split tunneling with route for 192.168.0.0/24 only
- Rationale: Only CC network traffic needs VPN, internet traffic should use local connection
- Implementation: -SplitTunneling $true with Add-VpnConnectionRoute
-
Root-Level File Access
- Decision: Sync UPDATE.BAT and DEPLOY.BAT to NAS root (T:)
- Rationale: Users need easy access to deployment tools
- Implementation: Modified Sync-FromNAS.ps1 to push both files to root
Problems Encountered and Solutions
-
Problem: CTONW uploaded test data to wrong location
- Error: Test data in ProdSW, but sync expects LOGS folder
- Investigation: Read Sync-FromNAS.ps1, found LOGS folder expectations
- Solution: CTONW v1.2 with separate ProdSW/LOGS workflows
- Result: Test data now properly routed to LOGS for database import
-
Problem: VPN authentication error with PAP
- Error: "The current encryption selection requires EAP or MS-CHAPv2 logon security methods"
- Root Cause: PAP doesn't support Required encryption with L2TP/IPSec
- Solution: Changed to MS-CHAPv2 authentication
- Result: VPN connection created successfully
-
Problem: Git sync failed - SSH key not authorized
- Error: "Permission denied (publickey)" when attempting /sync
- Root Cause: SSH key not added to Gitea server
- Public Key: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIABnQjolTxDtfqOwdDjamK1oyFPiQnaNT/tAgsIHH1Zo claude-code
- Status: Documented for user to add key to Gitea settings
- Workaround: Continue without sync, manual sync later

Technical Details Worth Remembering
DOS 6.22 Limitations
Never use these in DOS 6.22 batch files:
%COMPUTERNAME%- doesn't exist (use%MACHINE%instead)IF /I- case-insensitive flag doesn't exist%ERRORLEVEL%- variable doesn't exist (useIF ERRORLEVEL n)FOR /F- loops don't exist in DOS 6.22&&and||- operators don't exist- Long filenames - must use 8.3 format
Always use:
IF ERRORLEVEL n- checks if errorlevel >= n- Check highest errorlevel first (5, 4, 2, 1)
T: 2>NUL- redirect stderr to test driveIF EXIST path\NUL- test if directory exists- Simple
FOR %%F IN (...)loops GOTOlabels for flow control
VPN L2TP/IPSec Authentication
Correct authentication for L2TP/IPSec with PSK:
- Use:
MS-CHAPv2(Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol v2) - Don't use:
PAP(Password Authentication Protocol) - doesn't support Required encryption - Encryption:
Requiredworks with MS-CHAPv2 - Pre-Shared Key: Required for L2TP/IPSec
Split Tunneling Configuration
PowerShell VPN setup with split tunneling:
# Enable split tunneling
Add-VpnConnection -Name "VPN Name" -SplitTunneling $true
# Add specific route
Add-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "VPN Name" -DestinationPrefix "192.168.0.0/24"
# View routes
Get-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "VPN Name"
# Result: Only traffic to 192.168.0.0/24 uses VPN, rest uses local connection
CTONW Test Data vs Software Routing
CTONW v1.2 separates two data types:
Software Distribution (ProdSW):
- Purpose: Software updates for DOS machines
- Source: C:\ATE*.EXE, *.BAT, *.CFG, *.TXT
- Destination: T:%MACHINE%\ProdSW\
- Flow: AD2 → NAS → DOS machines (bidirectional via NWTOC)
Test Data Logging (LOGS):
- Purpose: Test results for database import
- Source: C:\ATE*DATA*.DAT (8BDATA, DSCDATA, etc.)
- Destination: T:%MACHINE%\LOGS\8BLOG, DSCLOG, etc.
- Flow: DOS machines → NAS → AD2 → Database (unidirectional)
Why separation matters:
- Sync script expects test data in LOGS folder structure
- Database import scripts look for DAT files in LOGS
- ProdSW is for software distribution only
- Mixing them broke database import workflow

T:\COMMON\ProdSW\
NAS → AD2 (Test Results) - PULL:
- DOS machines write test data to
T:\TS-XX\LOGS\(NAS) - Sync-FromNAS.ps1 runs every 15 minutes
- PSCP copies files from NAS to AD2:
C:\Shares\test\TS-XX\LOGS\ - Files deleted from NAS after successful copy
- DAT files auto-imported to database
Root Files - PUSH:
- Admin places UPDATE.BAT, DEPLOY.BAT in
C:\Shares\test\(AD2) - Sync-FromNAS.ps1 runs every 15 minutes

Context Recovery Notes
If starting new session, read these files first:
credentials.md- ALL infrastructure credentials and connection methodssession-logs/2026-01-19-session.md- This file (complete session context)DOS_DEPLOYMENT_STATUS.md- Current DOS deployment status.claude/claude.md- Project overview and available commandsSESSION_STATE.md- Project history and phase completion
Key search terms for future sessions:
- AD2 connection: Search credentials.md for "AD2 connection method"
- Dataforth sync: Search credentials.md for "AD2-NAS Sync System"
- DOS deployment: Read DOS_DEPLOYMENT_STATUS.md
- VPN setup: Search credentials.md for "Peaceful Spirit VPN"
- Test data routing: Search this file for "CTONW v1.2"
- Split tunneling: Search credentials.md for "Split Tunneling"
Important Context:
- CTONW v1.2 separates ProdSW (software) from LOGS (test data)
- VPN uses MS-CHAPv2 authentication, not PAP
- Split tunneling routes only 192.168.0.0/24 through VPN
- SSH key needs to be added to Gitea for /sync to work
Session End: 2026-01-19 14:35 Status: SUCCESS - DOS system complete, VPN setup complete Next Session: SSH key setup for Gitea (optional), VPN deployment to clients, DOS pilot rollout
