…inux) Adds a Linux IMDS cert-chain validator and enhances the Windows validator with per-element chain walking, dynamic store inventory, OCSP-rotation detection, P0-P2 diagnostic phases, and an -AutoFix/--autofix switch that installs the missing intermediate and re-walks the chain. Validated end-to-end on Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 9.7, SUSE 15 SP6, and Windows Server 2022. Linux: net-new script. Windows: enhances the existing validator.

Summary
Adds IMDS certificate-chain validation RunCommand scripts for both Windows and Linux. When a VM's IMDS attestation certificate chain breaks, the VM can fail Windows activation, lose managed-identity access, and block ESU — usually with cryptic errors and no self-serve fix. These scripts diagnose the exact broken link and can repair it.
What's included
RunCommand/Linux/Linux_IMDSValidation/) — net-new validator. Walks the IMDS cert chain element by element, inventories the trust store, detects OCSP rotation mismatches, and offers--autofixto download and install the missing intermediate, then re-walk the chain.RunCommand/Windows/Windows_IMDSValidation/) — enhances the existing validator with per-element chain walking, dynamic store inventory, OCSP-rotation detection, P0-P2 diagnostic phases, and an-AutoFixswitch.Validation
End-to-end validated on real VMs:
Scope
Purely additive — Linux folder is new, Windows folder enhances the existing script. No other scripts are touched.
