Session Log — Goldstein: DALLAS RMM Onboarding

User

  • User: Howard Enos (howard)
  • Machine: Howard-Home
  • Role: tech

Session Summary

Onboarded a new Goldstein endpoint — the DALLAS laptop (Michelle Goldstein's Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, logged-on user Dallas\miche) — to remote management under Syncro ticket #32490 ("Remote - Unable to remote access to the computers in Dallas"). Work began after ScreenConnect had already been installed on the machine manually; this session documented that in the ticket, then deployed the GuruRMM agent and ran the onboarding security/health baseline.

First added a private (internal) note to Syncro ticket #32490 recording that Howard spoke with Ashly and installed ScreenConnect on the Dallas machine. Then confirmed the GuruRMM client/site target: the "Goldstein" client already existed (id 7eed26be-4126-40a5-8414-3c0c28b9d182) with two sites — Dallas (SILVER-PEAK-3739) and Tucson (RED-LION-9255). The DALLAS machine belongs in the Dallas, TX site (confirmed with the user), which already holds agent ASUS-2024, so no site creation was needed — the machine was enrolled into the existing Dallas site.

Deployed the GuruRMM agent by pushing the official site-keyed install one-liner (irm https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/SILVER-PEAK-3739/windows | iex) to the DALLAS ScreenConnect session via send-command (SC backstage, runs as the agent/SYSTEM). The SC session was also tagged Company=Goldstein / Site=Dallas. Enrollment was verified against the RMM API — the agent came up as hostname "Dallas", client Goldstein, site Dallas (agent id 36c7bbc8-504f-4b4a-8995-3b3e5cdc0f02).

Finally ran the onboarding diagnostic probe against the new agent. Result: AMBER grade (0 critical / 4 warning / 15 info). No critical security findings — Defender active and tamper-protected, BitLocker 100% with recovery protector, all firewall profiles on, SMBv1 off, LAPS present, no competitor/leftover RMM agents. The four warnings are routine post-provision hygiene items (pending Windows updates, pending reboot, benign stopped Google/Intel auto-start services, clock on local CMOS instead of NTP). One health note worth follow-up: no backup agent detected on this laptop. Immutable baseline written to clients/goldstein/onboarding-baselines/DALLAS-20260706T233936.{json,md}.

Key Decisions

  • Enrolled into the existing Goldstein/Dallas site rather than creating a new client or site. A "Goldstein" client with a "Dallas" site (SILVER-PEAK-3739) already existed and already held ASUS-2024. Creating a duplicate would have fragmented the client. User confirmed the DALLAS machine belongs in Dallas, TX.
  • Deployed the agent via ScreenConnect send-command, not an RMM push. The machine was not yet an RMM agent, so /rmm run was unavailable; ScreenConnect was the existing access path. Used the official site-keyed install script so enrollment/self-tagging is handled by GuruRMM.
  • Verified enrollment against the RMM API rather than SC command output. SC send-command returns {} and the install runs asynchronously, so success was confirmed by polling GET /api/agents for the new Dallas agent.
  • Ticket note set to private (hidden). Internal record of the ScreenConnect install and the conversation with Ashly; not customer-facing.

Problems Encountered

  • None blocking. The SC send-command empty-{} response is expected (async queue), and RMM enrollment confirmed the install succeeded within ~2 minutes.

Configuration Changes

  • Created: clients/goldstein/onboarding-baselines/DALLAS-20260706T233936.json (immutable raw snapshot)
  • Created: clients/goldstein/onboarding-baselines/DALLAS-20260706T233936.md (human report)
  • Created: this session log
  • Endpoint (DALLAS): GuruRMM agent installed (C:\Program Files\...\gururmm-agent.exe, service); ScreenConnect client already present (two SC services running).
  • ScreenConnect: DALLAS session custom properties set — CP1=Goldstein, CP2=Dallas, CP3=(blank).
  • Syncro: private comment added to ticket #32490.

Credentials & Secrets

  • No new credentials created or discovered this session. The Goldstein/Dallas site enrollment key (site code SILVER-PEAK-3739) is server-managed; agent enrolled via the public site-keyed installer URL (no secret handled locally).

Commands & Outputs

  • Install push (SC backstage → DALLAS): powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com/install/SILVER-PEAK-3739/windows | iex"
  • Enrollment verify: GET /api/agents → host=Dallas os=windows client=Goldstein site=Dallas status=online last=2026-07-06T23:37:21Z
  • Diagnostic: bash .claude/scripts/run-onboarding-diagnostic.sh Dallas goldstein → Grade=AMBER critical=0 warning=4 unknown=0 info=15
  • Diagnostic warnings: pending Windows updates (sec.patch.pending); pending reboot (health.reboot_uptime.pending); 4 stopped auto-start services (Google Updater x2, Intel Platform License Manager, Intel Display UM — benign); time source = Local CMOS Clock, not NTP (health.time.local_cmos).

Pending / Incomplete Tasks

  • Windows updates + reboot pending on DALLAS — approve/install and reboot on next maintenance window.
  • No backup agent on DALLAS — confirm whether this laptop should have MSP360/cloud backup; it currently has none detected.
  • Time source on local CMOS — set a reliable NTP source (workgroup laptop, no domain hierarchy).
  • Ticket #32490 still New, owner Mike (1735) — status/ownership left unchanged; close/bill as appropriate.
  • Wiki: no Goldstein article exists yet — compile one from this log (command emitted post-sync).
