Add fallback wipe script for Windows hosts (#34994)
When Fleet's built-in Windows wipe action fails (MDM command returns
status 500, device not wiped), there is no documented fallback. This PR
adds a script that can be run via Fleet to wipe the device when the
native wipe fails.
## Changes
- `docs/solutions/windows/scripts/wipe-windows-device.ps1` - Fallback
wipe script
- `articles/lock-wipe-hosts.md` - Reference to fallback script added
under Windows wipe section
## What the script does
1. Validates and repairs WinRE if disabled (confirmed root cause of wipe
failures in #34994)
2. Checks Component Store integrity via DISM
3. Suspends BitLocker for one reboot cycle
4. Triggers wipe via WMI-to-CSP bridge (`doWipeProtected`, falls back to
`doWipe`), bypassing the MDM command queue
Fully unattended. No user interaction required. Exits 0 on success, 1 on
failure.
## Context
Every fully unattended Windows wipe method uses the same RemoteWipe CSP.
There is no alternative Windows API. This script adds value by fixing
the root causes before calling the wipe, and by bypassing the MDM
command queue where server-side failures (DB timeouts, auth errors) can
occur.
Closes#34994

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added an administrator-only Windows device wipe utility that performs
staged system checks (recovery environment, system health, and disk
protection), attempts to suspend drive protection for a reboot, invokes
multiple local wipe triggers with fallbacks, creates a timestamped audit
log of actions, and provides clear success/failure summaries with likely
causes and suggested next steps.

- Add install ChatGPT script.
- Update turn on MDM script with some changes from the script above.
I tested the turn on MDM script after making these updates.
Closes#38916
Related: #34993, #33985, fleetdm/confidential#13228
## Changes
**Article update** (`articles/windows-mdm-setup.md`)
- Adds "Migrating from another MDM solution" subsection under **Manual
enrollment** with overview of common migration issues and links to
remediation scripts
**New scripts** (`docs/solutions/windows/scripts/`)
- `reset-mdm-enrollment-flag.ps1` — Resets MmpcEnrollmentFlag blocking
MDM status after migration
- `remove-stale-mdm-enrollment-records.ps1` — Clears orphaned enrollment
GUIDs, AAD discovery cache, and MS DM Server cache
- `fix-workplace-join-configuration.ps1` — Re-enables
Automatic-Device-Join task and configures Workplace Join policies
- `remove-unreachable-wsus-configuration.ps1` — Removes unreachable WSUS
server config that breaks Windows Update
## Context
Customers migrating Windows hosts from Intune to Fleet have been hitting
recurring enrollment issues, MDM status stuck on "Off," enrollment
errors (`0x80190190`, `0x8018000a`), and Windows Update breakage from
leftover RMM agents. These scripts consolidate the workarounds from
multiple customer engagements into self-serve remediation that can be
deployed via **Controls > Scripts**.

This pull request updates the Okta Verify on Windows SCEP configuration
documentation and profile to simplify deployment with Fleet and reduce
manual steps. The changes make the process more reliable by
standardizing variable usage, improving instructions, and automating
certificate enrollment.
**Key improvements and changes:**
**Documentation and workflow simplification:**
- The guide in
`articles/enable-okta-verify-on-windows-using-a-scep-configuration-profile.md`
was rewritten for clarity and to reflect the new automated approach.
Manual editing of XML and scripts is no longer needed; Fleet-managed
variables and secrets now handle all required values. Steps for
gathering prerequisites, deploying, verifying, and renewing certificates
are streamlined, and troubleshooting guidance is expanded.
- The subject name in the certificate is now set to use the hardware
serial (`$FLEET_VAR_HOST_HARDWARE_SERIAL`) instead of the host UUID,
improving uniqueness and traceability.
([docs/solutions/windows/configuration-profiles/install Okta attestation
certificate -
[Bundle].xmlL77-R89](diffhunk://#diff-d8fc2c8add5725599bdc41a7b417dc3978cfc34eb6fcb8950db513f2b5799aa5L77-R89))
**Secret management and security:**
- The configuration profile now references Fleet secrets
(`$FLEET_SECRET_OKTA_SCEP_URL`, `$FLEET_SECRET_OKTA_SCEP_CHALLENGE`,
`$FLEET_SECRET_OKTA_CA_THUMBPRINT`) directly, removing the need for
manual substitution and reducing risk of misconfiguration.

[Bundle].xmlL98-R141](diffhunk://#diff-d8fc2c8add5725599bdc41a7b417dc3978cfc34eb6fcb8950db513f2b5799aa5L98-R141))
**Automated certificate enrollment:**
- An `<Exec>` command is added to the XML profile to automatically
trigger SCEP enrollment upon deployment, further reducing manual
intervention. ([docs/solutions/windows/configuration-profiles/install
Okta attestation certificate -
[Bundle].xmlL98-R141](diffhunk://#diff-d8fc2c8add5725599bdc41a7b417dc3978cfc34eb6fcb8950db513f2b5799aa5L98-R141))
These changes make the Okta Verify SCEP configuration for Windows much
easier to deploy and maintain, with improved automation and clearer
instructions.
