## User - **User:** Howard Enos (howard) - **Machine:** Howard-Home - **Role:** tech ## Session Summary Resumed work on getting the GuruRMM agent installed on Nick Pafford's Mac at Rednour Law Offices (Rednour's office). The client/site was already onboarded (2026-05-29), so the goal this session was to hand Nick the correct macOS download/install link and confirm enrollment. Pulled the Rednour Main site enrollment details from the vault (site_code GREEN-FALCON-7214) and provided the public install page URL. On verification, the install **page** (`/install/GREEN-FALCON-7214`) only exposes clickable buttons for Windows and Linux — there is no Mac button. Confirmed instead that a macOS install path exists as a `curl | sudo bash` one-liner at `/install/GREEN-FALCON-7214/macos`. Verified the script body (LaunchDaemon setup, quarantine strip, site config for GREEN-FALCON-7214) and that the agent binary it downloads is a Mach-O 64-bit arm64 executable (~3.96 MB), matching Nick's Apple Silicon Mac. Handed Nick the Terminal one-liner plus his SMB share credential (from vault). Nick (or whoever was at the Mac) ran the installer and it reported success. However, repeated fleet checks (3x over the session) showed the agent NOT checking in — no macOS agent appears under Rednour Law Offices. The three Rednour agents enrolled are all Windows (FrontDeskReception, LegalAsst, rednourcarrievirt). The only Macs in the entire fleet are Scileppi's Mac-mini-2 and Mike's MacBook Air — neither is Nick's. So the install succeeded locally but the agent is not connecting/enrolling to the server. Howard is no longer onsite and does not have the user's Mac password, so local diagnostics (foreground run, launchctl check) can't be done right now. Work was deferred. Flagged Mike via Discord DM that the Apple/macOS installer has an issue, that we're working it but lack the user's password, and asked whether he has access to another M1/Apple Silicon Mac to test the installer for repro. ## Key Decisions - Handed Nick the macOS `curl | sudo bash` one-liner rather than the install page, since the page has no Mac download button — only Windows/Linux. The `/macos` script path is the supported macOS install route. - Verified the downloaded binary architecture (arm64 Mach-O) before handing off, to rule out an x86/arch mismatch on Nick's Apple Silicon Mac. - Deferred diagnosis rather than guess: with no onsite access and no user password, the key diagnostic (foreground `sudo /usr/local/bin/gururmm-agent` to see the connect error) can't be run, so escalated to Mike and parked it. - Used a person-targeted Discord DM to Mike (not a #bot-alerts post) since the ask was actionable and directed at him specifically (needs an M1 to test). ## Problems Encountered - **macOS agent installs but does not enroll.** Installer reports success on Nick's Apple Silicon Mac, but no macOS agent shows under Rednour in the fleet after multiple checks. Unresolved — deferred. Likely causes to check next: LaunchDaemon not actually started / crashed on launch, Gatekeeper killing the unsigned binary despite quarantine strip, or outbound connectivity to rmm.azcomputerguru.com blocked. Blocked on onsite access + user password. - **Install page has no Mac button** (Windows/Linux only). Worked around with the `/macos` curl|bash one-liner, which is the real macOS install path. ## Configuration Changes - None to the repo. No code changes.

Deferred. - Blocked on: not onsite + no user Mac password. - Next steps: run foreground diagnostic on the Mac to capture the connect/enroll error; check LaunchDaemon state and Gatekeeper; verify outbound to rmm.azcomputerguru.com. - Mike asked (via DM) whether he has access to another M1/Apple Silicon Mac to test/repro the macOS installer. ## Reference Information - Install page: `https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/GREEN-FALCON-7214` - macOS install script: `https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/GREEN-FALCON-7214/macos` - macOS agent binary: `https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/GREEN-FALCON-7214/download/macos` - MSI (Windows): `https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/api/sites/c7f5787c-8e71-45b3-841f-fa52436f7d26/installer` - Discord DM to Mike: message_id 1521264675965374656 - Syncro ticket (SMB access): #32343 - Related prior logs: `2026-06-25-howard-nick-smb-share-and-mac-rmm.md`, `2026-06-26-howard-nick-mac-rmm-rootcause.md`
