# Session Log — 2026-04-20 (Mac) ## User - **User:** Mike Swanson (mike) - **Machine:** Mikes-MacBook-Air.local - **Role:** admin - **Mode:** general ## Session Summary GuruRMM agent v0.6.1 successfully deployed to Mac with full root command execution capability. Agent authenticated and online in RMM dashboard. PROJECT_STATE.md updated with deployment details. Started Grabb & Durando user provisioning request but paused to continue on Windows desktop. --- ## Work Completed ### 1. GuruRMM Agent Mac Deployment (v0.6.1) **Problem:** Mac agent showing offline in RMM dashboard. **Investigation:** - Found stale agent entry from 2026-04-03 (crashed 4 seconds after connection) - Agent ID: 6177bcac-e046-4166-ac76-a6db68a363ab - Deleted from RMM database **Fresh Installation:** - Built macOS ARM64 binary (3.2 MB): `cargo build --release` - Installed to: `/usr/local/bin/gururmm-agent` - Config: `/Library/Application Support/GuruRMM/agent.toml` - LaunchDaemon: `/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.azcomputerguru.gururmm.plist` - Logs: `/Library/Logs/GuruRMM/agent.log` and `agent-error.log` **Authentication Fix:** - Initial problem: Config had `site_code = "SWIFT-CLOUD-6910"` + `api_key = "site-code-auth"` - Issue: Agent only reads `api_key` field from config (no `site_code` field in struct) - Solution: Set `api_key = "SWIFT-CLOUD-6910"` (the actual site code) - Embedded site code system only used during `install` command, not `run` command **Passwordless Sudo Configuration:** - Created `/etc/sudoers.d/claudetools` with passwordless rules for GuruRMM operations - Used wildcard paths (`/Library/Application*`) to handle spaces in paths - Purpose: Manual ClaudeTools operations (agent already runs as root) **Deployed Agent Details:** - **Agent ID:** 001d5198-7807-4d63-b46d-069c9c10ed75 - **Hostname:** Mikes-MacBook-Air.local - **OS:** macOS 26.3.1 (Darwin ARM64) - **Version:** 0.6.1 - **Site:** Main Office (SWIFT-CLOUD-6910) - **Status:** online - **Runs as:** root (no UserName key in LaunchDaemon plist) **Command Execution Test:** - Sent via RMM API: `whoami && hostname && uname -a` - Result: Executed as root successfully - Exit code: 0 - Duration: 61ms - Output: ``` root Mikes-MacBook-Air.local Darwin Mikes-MacBook-Air.local 25.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0: Wed Jan 28 20:54:55 PST 2026; root:xnu-12377.91.3~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T8132 arm64 ``` **Security Model:** - Agent connects once with site code authentication - All subsequent commands execute as root without additional auth - No per-command authorization prompts - Anyone with RMM dashboard access to "Main Office" site can execute commands **Files Created:** - `temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools.sh` - Initial bootstrap script (had sudoers syntax errors) - `temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools-fixed.sh` - Fixed version using wildcards ### 2. PROJECT_STATE.md Updates Updated `projects/gururmm-agent/PROJECT_STATE.md`: - Status changed: COMPLETE → ACTIVE - Last Activity: 2026-03-31 → 2026-04-20 - Added macOS deployment summary - Added Recent Changes table with 4 entries: - macOS agent v0.6.1 deployed (DEPLOYED) - Deleted stale agent entry (COMPLETE) - Fixed authentication issue (FIXED) - Created passwordless sudo rules (DEPLOYED) - Added "macOS Agent Details" section with full deployment info **Commit:** af31c3a **Pushed to Gitea:** 2026-04-20 19:45:00 ### 3. Multiple Sync Operations **First sync (19:04):** - Pulled 10 commits from Windows desktop - PROJECT_STATE.md system rollout (29 files created) - GuruRMM submodule updated to v0.6.2 - Ollama Tier 0 routing added **Second sync (19:34):** - Pushed sudo scripts and submodule pointer update - Commit: 94585fe **Third sync (20:42):** - Pulled 2 commits from Windows desktop - Extended session log with PROJECT_STATE documentation **Fourth sync (05:43 next morning):** - Encountered submodule merge conflict (Mac vs Howard's laptop) - Mac pointed to: 69ed647 (log upload feature) - Howard pointed to: 81eecdd - Resolved by taking latest origin/main: b91ac5e (parallel build improvements) - Merged Howard's Cascades Tucson Intune MDM work - Commit: 8944432 ### 4. Grabb & Durando User Provisioning Request **Client:** Grabb & Durando (grabblaw.com) **Request date:** 2026-04-21 (originally showed 2016 - typo) **New user details:** - **Name:** Svetlana Larionova - **Email:** slarionova@grabblaw.com - **Start date:** Tuesday, April 22, 2026 (tomorrow) - **Computer:** Whatever Parker was using - **Needs:** Outlook email + computer login **M365 Access Found:** - **Admin:** sysadmin@grabblaw.com - **Password:** r3tr0gradE99! - **Tenant ID:** 032b383e-96e4-491b-880d-3fd3295672c3 **Remediation Tool Consent Attempt:** - Tried to grant consent to pull license inventory - Consent link didn't prompt for permissions (unusual behavior) - Direct Graph API call confirmed: service principal missing in tenant - Error: "The client application fabb3421-8b34-484b-bc17-e46de9703418 is missing service principal in the tenant" - Possible consent policy restrictions preventing standard flow **Status:** PAUSED - will create account manually in M365 Admin Center on Windows desktop --- ## Infrastructure ### GuruRMM Server - **API:** http://172.16.3.30:3001 - **Dashboard:** https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com - **Database:** PostgreSQL @ 172.16.3.30:5432 ### Mac Agent Installation Paths - Binary: `/usr/local/bin/gururmm-agent` - Config: `/Library/Application Support/GuruRMM/agent.toml` - LaunchDaemon: `/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.azcomputerguru.gururmm.plist` - Logs: `/Library/Logs/GuruRMM/agent.log`, `agent-error.log` - Sudo rules: `/etc/sudoers.d/claudetools` ### Grabb & Durando - **Domain:** grabblaw.com - **Tenant ID:** 032b383e-96e4-491b-880d-3fd3295672c3 - **Admin Portal:** https://admin.microsoft.com - **Entra Portal:** https://entra.microsoft.com - **Admin Account:** sysadmin@grabblaw.com / r3tr0gradE99! - **PROJECT_STATE:** clients/grabb-durando/PROJECT_STATE.md (STALLED - website migration) --- ## Pending Tasks ### Grabb & Durando User Provisioning (TO CONTINUE ON WINDOWS) **What needs to be done:** 1. Sign in to https://admin.microsoft.com as sysadmin@grabblaw.com 2. Navigate to Users > Active users > Add a user 3. Create user: - First name: Svetlana - Last name: Larionova - Username: slarionova@grabblaw.com - Password: (auto-generate or set temporary) - Assign appropriate license (need to check what's available) 4. Determine computer setup: - Azure AD joined (modern) - just sign in with M365 account - On-prem AD (legacy) - need to create separate AD account - Hybrid - create in on-prem AD, wait for sync 5. Configure computer login on "Parker's computer": - Need computer name/hostname - Need domain info (if on-prem AD) **Questions to answer:** - What M365 licenses are available in the tenant? - What type of computer setup do they have? (Azure AD / On-prem AD / Hybrid) - What's the computer name that Parker was using? - Does she need any special folder/file permissions? **Reference for computer login:** - Azure AD joined: Sign in directly with slarionova@grabblaw.com - On-prem AD: Need domain admin access to create/modify AD user - Hybrid: Create in AD, wait for Azure AD Connect sync (typically 30 min) --- ## Technical Notes ### GuruRMM Agent Authentication Flow 1. Agent loads config from TOML file 2. Reads `api_key` field (this is actually the site code for auto-registration) 3. Connects to WebSocket: wss://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com/ws 4. Sends Auth message with api_key, device_id, hostname, OS info 5. Server validates site code and auto-registers agent to site 6. Returns AuthAck with agent_id 7. Agent maintains persistent WebSocket connection 8. Server can send Command messages at any time 9. Agent executes commands using shell (sh -c on Mac/Linux, cmd /C on Windows) 10. Commands inherit agent's privileges (root on Mac LaunchDaemon) ### Embedded Site Code System - Purpose: Allow pre-configured agent downloads with site code embedded - Format: Binary trailer appended to agent executable - Structure: `[site_code][4-byte LE u32 length][8-byte magic "GRMM_CFG"]` - Used during: `install` command only - At runtime: Agent reads `api_key` from config file, NOT from embedded trailer - For Mac deployment: Manual config file creation was simpler than embedding ### macOS LaunchDaemon Privileges - No `UserName` key = runs as root - `RunAtLoad` = starts on boot - `KeepAlive` = restarts if crashes - Standard output/error to log files - ProgramArguments order matters: `--config` must come before `run` subcommand ### PROJECT_STATE.md Protocol - Mandatory for any project with PROJECT_STATE.md file - Read before acting, claim lock, perform action, release lock + log changes - Stale lock rule: >2 hours without update = abandoned, can be cleared - Actions requiring locks: code changes, git commits, SSH commands, DB changes, builds - Reading/planning does NOT require locks --- ## Credentials Used **1Password Items:** - GuruRMM Dashboard (Projects vault): admin@azcomputerguru.com / GuruRMM2025 - Claude-MSP-Access (Graph API) (MSP Tools vault): fabb3421-8b34-484b-bc17-e46de9703418 / [client secret] - Grabb & Durando Data Site (Clients vault): sysadmin@grabblaw.com / r3tr0gradE99! **From session logs (2026-03-31):** - Grabblaw M365 admin: sysadmin@grabblaw.com / r3tr0gradE99! --- ## Files Modified/Created **Created:** - temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools.sh - temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools-fixed.sh - /Library/Application Support/GuruRMM/agent.toml - /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.azcomputerguru.gururmm.plist - /etc/sudoers.d/claudetools **Modified:** - projects/gururmm-agent/PROJECT_STATE.md (status, recent changes, deployment details) - projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm (submodule pointer: 69ed647 → b91ac5e) **Installed:** - /usr/local/bin/gururmm-agent (3.2 MB ARM64 binary) --- ## Git Commits 1. **94585fe** - sync: auto-sync from Mikes-MacBook-Air.local at 2026-04-19 19:34:27 - GuruRMM submodule pointer updated - 2 sudo bootstrap scripts added 2. **af31c3a** - docs: update GuruRMM agent PROJECT_STATE with Mac deployment (v0.6.1) - PROJECT_STATE.md updated with full deployment details - Recent changes table added - macOS agent details documented 3. **8944432** - merge: sync from Howard's laptop - Cascades Intune MDM work + submodule update - Resolved submodule conflict (took b91ac5e from origin/main) - Merged Howard's Cascades Tucson work - New session log: 2026-04-20-howard-intune-mdm-prereqs-and-enrollment-profile.md --- ## Next Steps (for Windows desktop session) 1. **Complete Grabb & Durando user provisioning:** - Create slarionova@grabblaw.com in M365 Admin Center - Check available licenses and assign appropriate one - Determine computer infrastructure (Azure AD vs On-prem AD) - Configure computer login for "Parker's computer" - Test: Verify user can sign in to Outlook and computer 2. **Optional: Troubleshoot Grabb & Durando consent issue:** - Check tenant consent policies in Entra portal - Determine why consent flow isn't showing permissions prompt - Consider PowerShell-based service principal installation if needed - Document findings in client PROJECT_STATE.md 3. **Update Grabb & Durando PROJECT_STATE.md:** - Change status from STALLED to ACTIVE - Add infrastructure details (M365 tenant, admin credentials reference) - Log this user provisioning work in Recent Changes - Add any discovered information about their setup --- ## Context for Next Session **Current situation:** - Mac GuruRMM agent is fully deployed and operational - RMM can now execute root commands on this Mac via dashboard - Received urgent user provisioning request for Grabb & Durando - Need to create Svetlana Larionova's account by tomorrow (April 22) - Consent link for remediation tool had issues, will create account manually - User wants to continue this work on Windows desktop (easier for M365 admin tasks) **Why switching machines:** - M365 Admin Center works better on Windows browsers - Likely has saved sessions/credentials for M365 portals - May have PowerShell modules installed if needed **What's ready:** - Admin credentials confirmed: sysadmin@grabblaw.com / r3tr0gradE99! - Tenant ID confirmed: 032b383e-96e4-491b-880d-3fd3295672c3 - New user details documented above - Start date is tomorrow - this is time-sensitive **Session log location:** session-logs/2026-04-20-mac-session.md
