# Michael Johnson (Law Office)

## Profile

- **Business type:** Solo legal practice (Tucson, AZ) — *inferred* from the paralegal
  workstation, WordPerfect + "Seabill" legal-billing software, and the recurring
  shared-file / Outlook-calendar-sync work between Michael's and Crystal's machines.
  Not formally stated in Syncro (no `business_name` on the record).
- **Syncro Customer ID:** 152567 (record created 2013-12-04 — long-standing client)
- **Contract type:** **Break-fix** / time-and-materials. No prepaid block
  (`prepay_hours = 0.0`, live 2026-06-29). Invoice history is per-ticket one-offs across
  2013–2026.
- **Billing rate:** $175/hr onsite (most recent labor line, #32477 2026-06-29); historical
  invoices show mixed remote/onsite labor at standard ACG rates.
- **Managed devices (Syncro assets):** 2.
- **Address:** 177 N Church, Tucson, AZ 85701
- **GuruRMM onboarded:** 2026-06-29 (Howard) — client + site "Main"; both workstations enrolled same day.
- **Onboarding grade:** DESKTOP-GG4LKSL = **AMBER**; MJ-PARALEGAL = **RED**.
- **Endpoint security:** Datto EDR + AV deployed 2026-06-29 (both endpoints, AV active).

## Contacts

| Name | Role | Email / Phone | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Johnson | Owner / attorney | michaeljohnson311@gmail.com / 520-622-0065 | Primary Syncro contact; uses DESKTOP-GG4LKSL |
| Crystal (Krystal) | Paralegal / assistant | (no email on file) / 520-906-4672 | Uses MJ-PARALEGAL; most day-to-day tickets are hers. Syncro contact record holds this phone with no name. |

Email is on **Gmail / Google Workspace** (not M365). Several past tickets involve Google account
storage/payment and Outlook talking to the Google calendar; mail is **not** hosted or managed by ACG
M365 tooling.

## Infrastructure

### Network

- **Topology:** Workgroup, peer-to-peer (no on-prem AD, no domain join). Both machines report
  `PartOfDomain=False` / `Domain=WORKGROUP`.
- **LAN subnet:** 192.168.1.0/24.
- Shared files are served peer-to-peer between the two workstations (consistent with the long
  history of "can't access shared files" tickets). As of 2026-06-29, Michael's machine is on a
  **static IP** and the paralegal machine is configured to reach the share via that static IP.

### Workstations (GuruRMM enrolled 2026-06-29, site "Main")

| Hostname | User | Model | CPU | RAM | OS | IP | RMM Agent ID | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DESKTOP-GG4LKSL | Michael | HP Pavilion Gaming TG01-2xxx | i7-11700F 8c/16t | 31.8 GB | Win 11 Pro 25H2 (build 26200) | 192.168.1.135 (Wi-Fi; now static) | 09c08484-2b51-404b-a294-6e39f498867c | AMBER |
| MJ-PARALEGAL | Crystal | ASUS (desktop, generic board) | i5-10400 6c/12t | 15.8 GB | Win 11 Pro 25H2 (build 26200) | 192.168.1.136 (wired) | 4537ac34-e548-484c-b4e9-fd91e7f97a23 | RED |

Both on Win 11 25H2 (supported until 2027-10-12), OS activated, agent v0.6.75, Defender active &
current with Tamper Protection on, SMBv1 disabled, LAPS reg key present. Neither has a backup agent.
MJ-PARALEGAL was recently recovered + upgraded to Win11 (Syncro #31768).

## Onboarding Findings (2026-06-29 baselines)

### MJ-PARALEGAL — RED (2 critical / 4 warning)

- **[CRITICAL] Firewall OFF on Private + Public profiles** (`Domain=True` only). Re-enable all profiles.
- **[CRITICAL] E: drive 0% free** (0 GB of 255.6 GB). Find what's filling it and clean up/expand urgently.
- [WARNING] BitLocker off on C: · 2 pending Windows updates · 1 unexpected shutdown in last 14 days ·
  6 auto-start services stopped (Asus/Lenovo/Google updaters + Intel TPM provisioning — mostly benign;
  Lenovo *and* Asus services on one box suggests image/hardware churn).
- DNS server set to **172.16.132.1** on a 192.168.1.x LAN — anomalous (stale/foreign resolver). Correct
  to the local gateway / ISP DNS.
- Local admins: `Administrator`, `localadmin`, `Paralegal`.

### DESKTOP-GG4LKSL — AMBER (0 critical / 5 warning)

- [WARNING] BitLocker off on C: · 4 pending Windows updates · D: 14.6% free (68.1 GB of 465.8 GB) ·
  1 unexpected shutdown in last 14 days · 3 auto-start services stopped (Google updaters + Intel TPM).
- C: is the large/healthy volume (690 GB free of 930 GB); **D: is the low one** — confirm which volume
  holds working data before cleanup.
- Windows Time source is **time1.aliyun.com** (Alibaba NTP) — unusual; reset to a standard pool.
- Local admins: `Administrator`, `Localadmin`, `owner`.

### Common to both
- No BitLocker (workgroup — no AD escrow target; would need manual key storage / vault).
- No backup agent on either machine — **no backup coverage confirmed.** Biggest gap for a law office.
- Defender-only AV at baseline; now augmented by Datto EDR/AV. SMBv1 off.
- ACG remote tooling present and expected: ScreenConnect on both; Splashtop + Syncro agent additionally
  on MJ-PARALEGAL. No competitor/foreign RMM agents detected — and **no Bitdefender** (verified 2026-06-29).

## Patterns & Known Issues

- **Two-person peer-to-peer office.** Everything is workgroup + shared files between Michael's and
  Crystal's PCs. Shared-file and calendar-sync breakage is the single most common call — there is no
  server, so a machine being down/offline breaks the other's access. (Mitigated 2026-06-29 by moving
  Michael's PC to a static IP so the share target stops moving.)
- **Mail is Google, not M365.** Do not reach for the ComputerGuru M365 remediation suite here — Outlook
  is configured against a Google account. Google storage/billing has caused outages historically.
- **Power-outage sensitivity.** Multiple "mouse/peripheral dead after a power outage" and "machines went
  down" tickets — no UPS protection documented; a UPS on each machine would cut repeat emergency calls.
- **Backups unverified.** No backup agent on either workstation. Top risk to close for a legal practice.
- **MJ-PARALEGAL E: full + firewall off** are the two immediate must-fix items from onboarding.

## Active Work

*No open tickets in Syncro as of 2026-06-29 (#32477 billed + Invoiced this session). Open remediation items below come from the onboarding baselines.*

| Priority | Action | Owner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | Re-enable firewall (Private + Public) on MJ-PARALEGAL | Howard | CRITICAL onboarding finding |
| P1 | Clear/expand E: on MJ-PARALEGAL (0% free) | Howard | CRITICAL; identify what's filling 255 GB |
| P1 | Establish/confirm backup coverage for both PCs | Howard/Mike | No backup agent on either; law-office data |
| P2 | Fix anomalous DNS (172.16.132.1) on MJ-PARALEGAL | Howard | Should be local gateway / ISP DNS |
| P2 | Install pending Windows updates (4 on GG4LKSL, 2 on PARALEGAL) | Howard | Next maintenance window |
| P3 | Free space on GG4LKSL D: (14.6%) | Howard | Confirm which volume holds data first |
| P3 | Reset GG4LKSL time source off Alibaba NTP | Howard | Use standard NTP pool |
| P3 | Evaluate UPS for both machines | Mike | Repeat post-outage peripheral failures |
| P3 | Consider BitLocker (with key escrow) | Howard | Both unencrypted; workgroup needs manual key storage |

## History Highlights

- **2013-12-04** — Syncro customer record created; long-standing break-fix relationship.
- **2013–2026** — Recurring break-fix work: printer setup/offline errors, Outlook<->Google calendar sync
  between Michael & Crystal, "can't access shared files", peripherals failing after power outages,
  WordPerfect/Seabill hangs, multiple new-machine builds.
- **2026-06-29** — GuruRMM onboarding: client + site "Main" (`BRIGHT-RIVER-8998`) created; both
  workstations enrolled; onboarding diagnostics run (DESKTOP-GG4LKSL AMBER, MJ-PARALEGAL RED).
- **2026-06-29** — Datto EDR/AV deployed to both endpoints. "Remove Bitdefender" request was a no-op —
  RMM-verified that neither machine had Bitdefender (Defender-only). New Datto org + "Main" group + reg
  key; both agents registered, online, AV on.
- **2026-06-29** — #32477 (onsite): set Michael's PC to a static IP and reconfigured the paralegal
  machine to reach the share via the new IP. Billed 0.5h onsite ($87.50), invoice #1650843860, Invoiced.
