gps-rmm-audit: CP-QB WMI-repaired+enrolled (112/189); IMC-PRINTSERVER agent installed, blocked by box-wide outbound TLS drop
CP-QB: corrupt WMI class store (Win32_Processor invalid class) killed the universal installer's arch check; mofcomp cimwin32.mof fixed it; enrolled + reassigned to Curtis Plumbing. IMC-PRINTSERVER: agent+watchdog installed manually over LAN HTTP from IMC1 (PowerShell dead on box, SMB hangs, SC extension eats chains/multiline); box drops ALL outbound TLS (incl google) so agent cannot connect — fix is at IMC UniFi gateway or local filter; no reinstall needed. Session log + tracker updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# GPS->RMM audit: CP-QB fixed+enrolled (WMI repair); IMC-PRINTSERVER installed but TLS-blocked
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-05 (late 2026-07-04 MST evening through ~01:00)
|
||||
**Session:** HOWARD-HOME/claude-main
|
||||
**Context:** Continuing the GPS->GuruRMM coverage audit (projects/gps-rmm-audit). The only two
|
||||
target machines online over the holiday weekend were CP-QB (Curtis Plumbing) and
|
||||
IMC-PRINTSERVER (Instrumental Music Center) — both Monday-queue items whose installer pushes
|
||||
had failed with unreadable error files.

|

## Outcome summary
|
||||
|
||||
- **CP-QB: FIXED + ENROLLED.** Root cause: corrupt WMI class store (`Win32_Processor` =
|
||||
Invalid class, HRESULT 0x80041010; broken since ~2022 — also why its SC GuestInfo was
|
||||
frozen at 2022). The universal installer dies on `Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor` (line 30).
|
||||
`winmgmt /verifyrepository` reported CONSISTENT (self-check does not catch a missing class);
|
||||
`mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.mof` restored the class. Re-ran the installer clean,
|
||||
service Running, enrolled into Staging, reassigned to **Curtis Plumbing** via
|
||||
reassign-staging.py. Enrollment now **112/189**. Curtis Plumbing 5/6.
|
||||
- **IMC-PRINTSERVER: agent fully installed, service RUNNING, but CANNOT connect** —
|
||||
the box silently drops **ALL outbound TLS** (rmm.azcomputerguru.com/Cloudflare,
|
||||
rmm-api direct IP 72.194.62.10, even https://www.google.com — all hang right after
|
||||
ClientHello; no error, no ServerHello). ScreenConnect still works because its relay
|
||||
protocol is not TLS. LAN traffic works. DNS resolves correctly (no sinkholing).
|
||||
**The installed agent will self-connect the moment TLS egress is unblocked** — nothing
|
||||
more to do on the box itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## IMC-PRINTSERVER diagnostic findings (hard-won, reusable)
|
||||
|
||||
Machine: Win10 Pro 22H2 (19045), 192.168.0.79/24, gw 192.168.0.254, DNS/DHCP = IMC1
|
||||
(192.168.0.2). SC session `ccbd66a7-f94a-4d87-a18b-5f81a30784d0`.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **powershell.exe never executes** via SC on this box (every installer push is a PS
|
||||
one-liner -> all silently died; also wedges the SC command queue when tried).
|
||||
Plain single-line `cmd /c ...` commands work.
|
||||
2. **SC extension command constraints (likely instance-wide, discovered here):**
|
||||
- `SendCommandToSession` output is NOT retrievable via the API; session model holds ONE
|
||||
queued event slot; a hung command wedges the queue and later sends are lost.
|
||||
- Commands containing `&` chains or embedded newlines (multi-line batch) never execute.
|
||||
- Rapid-fire sequential single commands work while the executor is healthy.
|
||||
3. **Readback channel built:** temporary PowerShell HttpListener on IMC1 (via RMM command,
|
||||
port 8765/8766 + temp firewall rule, auto-removed) — PRINTSERVER reports via
|
||||
`curl.exe -G --data-urlencode d@<file>` over LAN. Nginx-access-log-as-channel also works
|
||||
for boxes with working egress: GET `https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/<code>/windows?gpsdiag=<tag>&d=<msg>`
|
||||
(CF allows the install path; /gps-diag paths get CF 403), read via the gururmm server's
|
||||
own root agent (`grep gpsdiag /var/log/nginx/access.log`).
|
||||
4. **SMB copy from \\IMC1\NETLOGON hung** (possibly broken secure channel — box is
|
||||
generally rotten). Workaround that worked: HTTP file server on IMC1:8766 (HttpListener
|
||||
serving the agent exe+toml), PRINTSERVER downloads via curl. Files verified on disk:
|
||||
`C:\Program Files\GuruRMM\gururmm-agent-new.exe` (5,673,288 bytes) + agent.toml.
|
||||
5. **Manual no-PowerShell install recipe (worked):** short paths avoid quoting —
|
||||
`cmd /c C:\PROGRA~1\GuruRMM\gururmm-agent-new.exe install` then `cmd /c net start GuruRMMAgent`.
|
||||
Agent log confirms: service installed, watchdog installed, config loaded,
|
||||
"Connecting to wss://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com/ws" — then silence (TLS black-hole).
|
||||
6. **TLS block evidence:** curl schannel verbose stops after ALPN offer for BOTH Cloudflare
|
||||
hosts AND google.com; no "Connected to" / no handshake failure line; -o file never
|
||||
created. All-destination TLS drop => per-device gateway rule (IMC UniFi?) or local
|
||||
WFP/AV filter remnant. NOT domain filtering, NOT DNS.
|
||||
|
||||
## Next actions (IMC-PRINTSERVER)
|
||||
|
||||
- Check IMC's UniFi gateway (192.168.0.254) for a per-device/VLAN rule throttling
|
||||
192.168.0.79 / MAC A0-1E-0B-11-60-1D (TLS/DPI, IoT isolation, or ad-block profile).
|
||||
- If gateway clean: hands-on look for broken local network filter (AV remnant/WFP).
|
||||
Bitdefender presence unconfirmed (probe was stopped).
|
||||
- No reinstall needed afterward — agent + watchdog are installed and will connect on
|
||||
their own once TLS egress works. Then reassign out of Staging
|
||||
(`reassign-staging.py`) and push Datto EDR per the Monday recipe.
|
||||
|
||||
## Also this session
|
||||
|
||||
- Verified plan state at start: 111/189, 24 clients short (progress-check dry-run);
|
||||
GPS-RMM-AutoEnroll (Mon 06:00, 30-min) and GPS-RMM-Progress (daily 8:07) tasks armed.
|
||||
- GuruRMM install-reports endpoint checked: empty (installs die before reporting).
|
||||
- Scratch files left in repo root (gitignored-ish dotfiles): `.gps-diag-cmds*.txt`,
|
||||
`.gps-fix-cpqb*.txt`, `.gps-imc-listener*.json`, `.gps-imc1-stage.json`,
|
||||
`.gps-listener-cid.txt`, `.gps-diag-imc*.txt`, `.gps-imc-fileserver.json` — safe to delete.
|
||||
- Coord messages received (other session, FYI): SPEC-030 edits swept into repair-batch-2
|
||||
commit 333ceef (being split back out); 2 CONFIRMED review findings on
|
||||
uninstall-engine.ps1 (PID-recycle kill risk at :459; missing never-kill guard at :432)
|
||||
to fix before committing SPEC-030 work.
