Comprehensive log of the Entra setup work spanning 4/24 evening through 4/25.
Includes a Resume Point at the top so the next session can pick up cleanly.
Highlights:
- Entra Connect Sync installed in staging mode on CS-SERVER, scope OU=Caregivers
- Pilot AD account howard.enos@cascadestucson.com created
- Master plan v2 with explicit drift log (FIDO2/YubiKey injection caught)
- HIPAA retention remediation: 7 mailboxes restored from soft-delete (4/22 deletes
violated 164.316(b)(2)); termination procedures policy + IR-2026-04-24-001 documented
- admin@cascadestucson.com re-promoted to Global Admin (Sandra Fish cleanup had
stripped role); residual profile data cleaned
- Existing Cascades CA architecture discovered (Named Location 72.211.21.217 + all-users
MFA policy from 2026-02-11) — adjusts plan, no duplicate policies needed
- Syncro ticket #32214 'Entra setup' with hidden private rollup (~40-45 billable hrs)
Released session lock; resume point flagged in PROJECT_STATE.md.
Major work from 2026-04-23:
Folder redirection (OU=Life Enrichment):
- Added 5 folders (Desktop, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favorites) to CSC - Folder
Redirection (LE) alongside existing Documents + Downloads. All use Flags=1021
(Basic + create folder per user + move contents + policy-removal: redirect back).
- Created CSC - Always Wait For Network GPO, linked at OU=Workstations. Disables
FLO via correct Winlogon registry path (HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SyncForegroundPolicy=1). First attempt used
wrong path (Windows\System) which Winlogon ignored.
- Proved GPO FR works for clean-hive users (test user LE.FRTest, now removed).
- Wrote susan-profile-fix.ps1 to repair ProfWiz-poisoned profiles: robocopies
local content to \CS-SERVER\homes\<user>, loads NTUSER.DAT, rewrites User
Shell Folders (legacy + modern GUIDs) to UNC, unloads. Applied to Susan Hicks,
verified via live SMB session + content access.
Share access review doc:
- share-access-matrix-2026-04-23.md drafted for John/Meredith review. One
short block per employee (department + position + folders they can access).
All settled decisions from today's calls captured (Sandra Fish = Meredith-
only, Culinary = kitchen + M/J/A, no chat share, caregivers zero on-prem,
Veronica = Meredith tier, CasAdmin201 retired, pacs empty).

Single-doc consolidation of every Cascades doc in the repo: where we are
(what's done, in-flight, ahead), all 48 open questions grouped by recipient
(Meredith, John, Ashley, internal) with T1/T2/T3 urgency, suggested 4-session
sequencing to unblock most work fastest, license/cost summary, and the
5 items Howard can execute right now without answers.
Replaces the piecemeal view across user-account-rollout-plan,
p2-staff-candidates, staff-working-list, hipaa-review, and risk-register docs.
Those remain the detail source; this is the navigation layer.

Deleted 7 former-employee / zombie accounts via Graph user-manager tier.
All verified in soft-delete bin (30-day recovery):
- ann.dery, anna.pitzlin, jeff.bristol, kristiana.dowse, nela.durut-azizi,
nick.pavloff (all were disabled already)
- jodi.ramstack (was a zombie: enabled in M365 with 1 Business Standard
license but deleted from AD 2026-04-13. Freed $12.50/mo seat.)
admin@NETORGFT... (Sandra Fish) confirmed already gone from tenant.
Role-based accounts (accounting@, frontdesk@, hr@, etc.) NOT touched —
pending delegation decisions before shared-mailbox conversion. Stephanie.Devin
left alone pending Meredith confirmation.

CS-SERVER post-reboot verification: time sync, TLS 1.2 enforcement, and
Windows Server Backup feature all persisted cleanly. dcdiag clean. Ready
for Entra Connect install.
Synology cascadesDS permission inventory captured via DSM API (SSH
disabled by default on Synology). 35 users, 4 groups, 10 shares.
Analysis identifies 7 shared-account role logins (HIPAA violation),
8 departed-employee accounts to clean up, and 4 shares needing
Meredith-side confirmation before migration (pacs most sensitive).

Meredith/John returned the staff-editor questionnaire (70 people, 11
departments). CSV ingested to reports/; p2-staff-candidates.md updated
with real persona breakdown. Wrote full AD/M365 user rollout plan (8
personas, license mapping, OU/group layout, CA policies, 4-wave
sequence, 8 open decisions). Drafted follow-up email for remaining open
items — Howard will edit and send.
Britney Thompson and Polett Pinazavala confirmed still employed (were
absent from the CSV return). Christine Nyanzunda confirmed as one
person with two roles. Usernames locked for new accounts:
Alma.Montt, Kyla.QuickTiffany.

Added Teams deployment + HIPAA-appropriate configuration as a tracked
gap (hipaa.md #27) and M365 issue (m365.md #14). Cites transmission
security + BAA requirements and outlines controls needed (retention,
DLP, external sharing lockdown, guest access, meeting consent).
Dependency on Microsoft BAA flagged.

Triggered by John Trozzi reporting a spoof email. Single-user check
confirmed him clean (reported, not compromised). Tenant-wide sweep
found a sustained ~1 month campaign from 4 external IPs (UA/US/DE/AT
- deltahost + ColoCrossing) plus a compromised-M365-tenant relay
vector. Deleted 14 messages (Groups A+B) per Mike's explicit
authorization. Preserved legitimate HR thread (HRPYDBRUN xlsx) and
user outbound forwards as evidence.
Recommendations in report: DMARC p=quarantine/reject for
cascadestucson.com (biggest leverage), TABL IP blocks, zoom.nl
URL block, Defender impersonation protection.
