# Cascades — Zachary Nelson onboarding (Accounting Assistant)
**Date:** 2026-05-05
**Tenant:** cascadestucson.com (`207fa277-e9d8-4eb7-ada1-1064d2221498`)
## User
- **User:** Howard Enos (howard)
- **Machine:** Howard-Home
- **Role:** tech
## Summary
Created new M365 account for Zachary Nelson (Accounting Assistant) via the remediation-tool `user-manager` tier. Assigned Microsoft 365 Business Premium (SPB) license. Random initial password issued; user must change at first sign-in.
## Account details
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Display name | Zachary Nelson |
| UPN | zachary.nelson@cascadestucson.com |
| Object ID | b17a4645-01f7-4c0e-be1b-563d405867a2 |
| Job title | Accounting Assistant |
| Usage location | US |
| Account enabled | true |
| Created | 2026-05-05T16:42:24Z |
| License | SPB (`cbdc14ab-d96c-4c30-b9f4-6ada7cdc1d46`) — Microsoft 365 Business Premium |
| forceChangePasswordNextSignIn | true |
## License selection rationale
Tenant has two coexisting Business-tier subs:
- **SPB** — 34 prepaid, 2 consumed pre-creation (32 free) — active subscription with Defender for Business + Intune + AAD P1
- **O365_BUSINESS_PREMIUM (Business Standard, legacy)** — 0 prepaid, 32 consumed — what existing users (e.g. Allison Reibschied) still have; appears mid-migration
Mike chose SPB for Zachary. Other recent users may need to be migrated to SPB to drop the legacy SKU; tracked as a follow-up below.
## Operations performed
1. Acquired `investigator` token for read-only checks (license inventory, naming convention, dup check).
2. Acquired `user-manager` token for write ops.
3. `POST /v1.0/users` with passwordProfile.forceChangePasswordNextSignIn=true.
4. `POST /v1.0/users/{id}/assignLicense` with addLicenses=[SPB], removeLicenses=[].
5. Re-read user — confirmed accountEnabled=true, usageLocation=US, assignedLicenses=[SPB].
## Not done (deferred — confirm scope with Mike)
- **Manager assignment** — none set (need name from accounting team lead, e.g. Meredith Kuhn or whoever runs accounting).
- **Group memberships** — no groups added. Sample peers in the tenant have either no groups or `Managers`. Will follow up on which CA / mail / Teams groups Accounting normally joins.
- **MFA enrollment** — handled at first sign-in by tenant CA policy; nothing pre-staged here.
- **On-prem AD account / mailbox folder redirection / homes share** — Cascades is mid Entra Connect staging-mode rollout; new cloud-only users don't get on-prem AD provisioning yet. If Zachary needs domain-joined workstation access, on-prem account + folder-redirection OU placement is a separate task.
- **License migration tracking** — 32 users still on legacy O365_BUSINESS_PREMIUM SKU (zero prepaid). Worth a sweep to migrate everyone to SPB and clean up the overage.
## Password handoff
Initial password delivered to Mike in chat (one-time). Not committed to repo. User will change at first sign-in.
## Verification (M365)
```
GET /v1.0/users/b17a4645-01f7-4c0e-be1b-563d405867a2
{
"userPrincipalName": "zachary.nelson@cascadestucson.com",
"displayName": "Zachary Nelson",
"jobTitle": "Accounting Assistant",
"accountEnabled": true,
"usageLocation": "US",
"createdDateTime": "2026-05-05T16:42:24Z",
"assignedLicenses": [{"skuId":"cbdc14ab-d96c-4c30-b9f4-6ada7cdc1d46"}]
}
```
## On-prem AD account (cascades.local)
Created via GuruRMM remote PowerShell on CS-SERVER (agent `6766e973-e703-47c1-be56-76950290f87c`). Mirrored Allison Reibschied's setup exactly per Mike's instruction.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| sAMAccountName | Zachary.Nelson |
| UPN | Zachary.Nelson@cascadestucson.com |
| EmailAddress | Zachary.Nelson@cascadestucson.com |
| DistinguishedName | CN=Zachary Nelson,OU=Administrative,OU=Departments,DC=cascades,DC=local |
| SID | S-1-5-21-388235164-2207693853-3666415804-1208 |
| Created | 2026-05-05 09:57:23 (server local) |
| Enabled | true |
| ChangePasswordAtLogon | true (PasswordExpired=True confirmed) |
| Group memberships | Domain Users only (matches Allison) |
| HomeDirectory / HomeDrive / ProfilePath / ScriptPath | unset (matches Allison — folder redirection is GPO-driven) |
| Title / Department / Office | unset (matches Allison) |
Note: AD UPN suffix is `@cascadestucson.com` (matches Allison's existing config), even though Mike initially said "separate" — pivoted on the second instruction to mirror Allison verbatim. Future Connect sync (when staging mode exits) would soft-match this AD account against the cloud-only M365 account I created earlier today; we'll need to decide soft-match strategy then.
## Shares
Mike will set department share access manually and update us when done. No share or `D:\Homes\Zachary.Nelson` ACLs touched in this session.
## Password handoff
Two separate one-time passwords delivered to Mike in chat:
- M365 cloud account password
- AD domain account password
Neither committed to repo. Both forced to change at first sign-in.

## Update: 16:42 PT — Syncro ticket #32255 invoiced
### Ticket #32255 — Zachary Nelson onboarding (Invoiced)
- **Customer:** Cascades of Tucson (Syncro 20149445)
- **Subject:** Zachary Nelson - New user / email / desktop setup
- **Issue type:** New User / Workstation Deployment. Priority: 2 Normal. Status: Invoiced.
- **Contact:** null (Cascades blank-contact rule).
- **Initial issue comment summary:** Set up new M365 email and user account for Zachary Nelson; configured account on his desktop; added Zachary to share folders on cascadesDS — ALdocs, Business Office, Business AL.
- **Billing:** Onsite labor (product 26118): 1.0 hr @ $175/hr — applied to Cascades prepay block.
- **Invoice:** #67565 — total **$0.00** (1.0 hr applied to prepay; no taxable items). Labor line shows "Applied 1.0 Prepay Hours".
### Coverage note
This ticket bills only the desktop / share-folder portion of today's Zachary work. The M365 cloud account creation, on-prem AD account creation on CS-SERVER, license assignment (SPB), and password handoff to Mike are documented earlier in this log and folded into the same 1.0-hr onsite block. If this scope ends up needing a second pass (manager assignment, group memberships, or the broader O365_BUSINESS_PREMIUM → SPB migration sweep tracked in "Not done"), open a follow-up ticket rather than appending to #32255.
### Cascades prepay block (post-billing)
- Block at 50.0 hours before today's billing session.
- Decremented 1.5 hours total today (0.5 on #32253 + 1.0 on #32255) → **48.5 hours remaining**.
### Cross-reference
Skill bug hit on Ticket #32253 (Syncro `timer_entry` response shape) is documented in the parallel chef-pc-slow log (`2026-05-05-howard-chef-pc-slow-and-mdirector-ram.md`, "Update: 16:42 PT" section). Ticket #32255 was created cleanly after the workaround was understood.
