main.py

Introduction

The main.py module serves as the entry point for the OsValidation project. It orchestrates the validation process by calling functions from other modules, such as file_handling, windows_settings, devices, and d3_interaction. The module provides a structured way to run various validation checks on a Windows operating system.

Usage

To use the main.py module:

Import necessary modules and functions from utils, including file_handling, windows_settings, devices, d3_interaction, and logging.

Define the sleep_time variable to set the time interval between validation checks.

Wrap each validation section in a try-except block to handle exceptions gracefully and log any unexpected errors.

Run specific validation checks by calling the relevant functions from imported modules.

Monitor the validation progress through log messages, which provide information on the status of each check.

In case of a keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C), the program will exit gracefully without causing errors.

Validation Checks

The main.py module performs the following validation checks:

• Windows Settings Validation
• Taskbar Icons Check
• Start Menu Tiles Check
• Windows Licensing Check
• Windows Background Color Check
• Machine Name Check
• Notifications Check
• Windows Update Check
• Sticky Keys Check
• Windows Firewall Check
• File Handling Validation
• System Failure Checkboxes Check
• Dump File Path Check
• File Check
• Devices Validation
• General Devices Check
• GPU Devices Check
• Network Devices Check
• Deltacast Devices Check
• Matrox Devices Check
• Audio Devices Check
• Audio Card Management Check
• Media Drives Check
• RAID Controller Tool Check
• d3 Interaction Validation
• d3 Project Check
• d3 Manager Help Check
• d3 Licenses Check
• OS Image Version Check

Best Practices

• Customize the sleep_time variable based on your desired interval between validation checks.
• Regularly run the main.py module to ensure that the Windows operating system meets the required validation criteria.
• Monitor log messages for the status of each validation check and take appropriate actions in case of any failures.

Prerequisites and Dependencies

The main.py module relies on other modules in the utils package, including file_handling, windows_settings, devices, and d3_interaction. Ensure that these modules are correctly configured and accessible.

The module assumes that the necessary Python packages, libraries, and system utilities are available for conducting the validation checks.
