Release notes
v1.0.0
This is the 2026-10-16 v1.0.0 baseline, prepared after an explicit maintainer version reset. Earlier downloads with the same version label may contain different bytes. Identify this baseline by its current release SHA-256 values, not the label alone.
Included
- The reviewed, self-contained Windows PowerShell 5.1 script with log collection, ZIP creation, authenticated SMB upload, remote size checks, and failure retention.
- Matching documentation, responsive artwork, editor tasks, and automated tests.
- A public standalone gist with the same script bytes, MIT license, and checksum file.
Audit fixes
- Require an actual registry DWORD for the NTLMv2-only compatibility policy; strings or other value types cannot authorize a connection.
- Dispose the in-process secure password after success, upload failure, or credential-construction failure. Native task-sequence variable cleanup is still required.
- Use the visible Pages brand text as its accessible link name.
Security defaults are unchanged from the reviewed source. The script remains MIT licensed; required third-party asset notices are retained.
Deployment
Use Windows PowerShell 5.1 as Local System in an active ConfigMgr task sequence. Keep the documented WinPE prerequisites, authenticated SMB destination, security defaults, external timeout, and native success/failure credential cleanup. Check the deployment guide before changing an existing package-source layout.
Verification and publication
Validation covers parsing, static analysis, Pester, generated artwork, version/tag agreement, and exact-byte source checksums. The existing workflow creates a prerelease candidate; downloaded-asset verification and explicit maintainer approval precede regular/latest promotion without changing the tag or asset bytes.
Live ConfigMgr, WinPE, and SMB testing was not executed. A regular release does not certify your environment. Use the validation checklist before broad rollout.
See development for workstation setup and release process for package verification and approval.
