# Windows Agent Operations Guide
This Markdown file mirrors the internal WDS wiki instructions so you can ship it with release archives or import it into any other knowledge base.
## Purpose
The Windows agent bundles Cygwin, Perl, GNU Screen, and helper scripts so the GameServer Panel can manage Windows Server 2019/2022 game hosts. It exposes the same RPC surface as the Linux agent and expects the same shared key.
## Requirements
- Windows Server 2019 or 2022 (English locale recommended)
- Administrator privileges
- Reliable network access to the panel on TCP 12679 (or whatever port you configure)
- Outbound HTTPS so the agent can talk to `ogp_api.php`
## Installation workflow
1. **Clone or download** the repository to `C:\\gsp-agent`.
2. **Run** `Install\\onceinstall_agent.bat` as Administrator. The script:
- Installs Cygwin with Perl, rsync, wget, screen, zip/unzip, git, etc.
- Creates the `gameserver` Windows account and grants “Log on as a service”.
- Unpacks the latest agent files into `C:\\OGP`.
- Registers the Windows Task Scheduler entry that boots the agent at startup.
3. **Open the bundled Cygwin terminal** and configure the agent:
```bash
cd /OGP
bash agent_conf.sh -p "gameserverPassword"
```
4. **Edit configuration** – `/OGP/Cfg/Config.pm` mirrors the Linux agent. Set `listen_ip`, `listen_port`, `key`, `web_api_url`, and (optionally) the stats database credentials.
5. **Start the service** – The installer already created a scheduled task (“OGP agent start on boot”). Run it immediately from Task Scheduler or execute `schtasks /Run /tn "OGP agent start on boot"`.
## Updating the agent
Manual update:
1. Stop the scheduled task or kill any running `ogp_agent.pl` processes.
2. Pull the latest files (`git pull` inside `C:\\gsp-agent` or download the release ZIP again).
3. Copy updated files into `C:\\OGP`.
4. Re-run `rebase_post_ins.bat` if new Cygwin DLLs were added.
5. Start the agent task again.
Restart-time auto-update:
1. Edit `/OGP/Cfg/bash_prefs.cfg`.
2. Set `agent_auto_update=1`.
3. Keep the default Forgejo values unless you are testing another branch:
```bash
agent_update_repo_url=http://forge.runlevelsystems.com/dev/GSP.git
agent_update_branch=Panel-unstable
agent_update_raw_url=http://forge.runlevelsystems.com/dev/GSP/raw/branch/Panel-unstable/Agent-Windows/OGP64/OGP/ogp_agent.pl
```
4. Restart the agent with `C:\\OGP64\\agent_start.bat` or `C:\\OGP64\\OGP\\Install\\agent_start.bat`.
The updater downloads to a temporary file, rejects empty files, HTML error pages, `Not found` responses, and files without the expected Perl agent markers, then runs `perl -c` before replacing `/OGP/ogp_agent.pl`. Failed auto-update attempts are non-fatal and continue with the last known good agent. The restart-time updater is allowlisted to `/OGP/ogp_agent.pl` only and must not overwrite `/OGP/Cfg/*`, service settings, passwords, server data, or logs.
## Logging & troubleshooting
- Main log: `C:\\OGP\\ogp_agent.log`
- PID files: `ogp_agent_run.pid` (wrapper) and `ogp_agent.pid` (Perl daemon)
- Customer servers run inside GNU Screen sessions—attach via `C:\\OGP\\bin\\screen -r ogp_agent`
- Firewall: open TCP 12679 (or your configured port) and any game-specific ports before provisioning.
- Authentication errors almost always mean the `key` in `Cfg/Config.pm` does not match the value stored in the panel → Administration → Servers.
- `/OGP/Cfg/bash_prefs.cfg` must use LF line endings and no leading whitespace before assignments. The launcher normalizes this automatically before sourcing the file.
- `./ogp_agent.pl: line 1: Not: command not found` means the agent file was replaced with text/HTTP error content. Restore a backup or enable auto-update after confirming the Forgejo raw URL above is reachable.
- `The user name could not be found. NET HELPMSG 2221.` came from the legacy root launcher that queried `cyg_server`. Use the maintained launchers above; they do not require that user for manual foreground startup.
## Usage tips
- Always run the installer as Administrator so it can write to `Program Files`, register services, and manage the `gameserver` account.
- Keep the `team@worlddomination.dev` mailbox handy for provider login challenges when managing Windows hosts.
- The Linux agent docs live in `GSP-Agent-Linux/documentation/agent-guide.md` and the panel XML reference is in `GSP/documentation/`.
