Clients (structured MSP docs under clients/<name>/docs/):
- anaise (NEW) - 13 files
- cascades-tucson - 47 files merged (existing had only reports/)
- dataforth - 18 files merged (alongside incident reports)
- instrumental-music-center - 14 files merged
- khalsa (NEW) - 22 files, multi-site (camden, river)
- kittle (NEW) - 16 files incl. fix-pdf-preview, gpo-intranet-zone
- lens-auto-brokerage (NEW) - 3 files (name matches SOPS vault)
- _client_template - 13-file scaffold for new clients
MSP tooling (projects/msp-tools/):
- msp-audit-scripts/ - server_audit.ps1, workstation_audit.ps1, README
- utilities/ - clean_printer_ports, win11_upgrade,
screenconnect-toolbox-commands
Credential handling:
- Extracted 1 inline password (Anaise DESKTOP-O8GF4SD / david)
to SOPS vault: clients/anaise/desktop-o8gf4sd.sops.yaml
- Redacted overview.md with vault reference pattern
- Scanned all 160 files for keys/tokens/connection strings -
no other credentials found
Skipped:
- Cascades/.claude/settings.local.json (per-machine config)
- Source-root CLAUDE.md (personal, claudetools has its own)
- scripts/server_audit.ps1 and workstation_audit.ps1 at source root
(identical duplicates of msp-audit-scripts versions)

Step 5: Domain Join (~1-2 hours per machine, remote via ScreenConnect)
5a — Pre-join verification (once, from any INTERNAL machine)
Run scripts/phase3-pre-join-verify.ps1 or manually:
nslookup cs-server.cascades.local
nslookup _ldap._tcp.cascades.local
ping 192.168.2.254
net view \\192.168.2.254
All must succeed. If they don't, fix DNS/firewall (Step 2) before proceeding.
5b — Join non-domain machines (one at a time)
Order: DESKTOP-KQSL232 → CHEF-PC → SALES4-PC → MDIRECTOR-PC (least critical first)
Pre-requisites per machine
| Machine | Blocker | Action Needed |
|---|---|---|
| DESKTOP-KQSL232 | None known | Verify OS edition supports domain join |
| CHEF-PC | None known | Verify OS edition supports domain join |
| SALES4-PC | Not on network (absent from ARP/DHCP as of 2026-03-06) | Locate machine, verify powered on |
| MDIRECTOR-PC | Windows 10 Home — cannot domain-join | Upgrade to Pro first (key available). Users: Anna Pitzlin, Shelby Trozzi, localadmin. No Desktop/Documents data to migrate. MAC: 98:ee:cb:9d:8a:81 |
For each machine, run scripts/phase3-join-domain.ps1 via ScreenConnect:
Per machine:
-
Document current state (automated by script)
- systeminfo, ipconfig, printers, mapped drives saved to
C:\IT-Migration\
- systeminfo, ipconfig, printers, mapped drives saved to
-
Create local admin backup account
- Localadmin local admin account (for rollback access)
-
Verify DNS resolves AD
- Must resolve
cs-server.cascades.local - If fails: check DHCP DNS settings (should get 192.168.0.1 via DHCP)
- Must resolve
-
Join domain
Add-Computer -DomainName cascades.local -OUPath "OU=Staff PCs,OU=Workstations,DC=cascades,DC=local"- Automatic reboot
-
Post-reboot verification (run
scripts/phase3-post-join-verify.ps1):gpresult /r— GPOs applied?\\CS-SERVER\Sharesaccessible?- Mapped drives appear (S:, department drive)?
- Printers auto-installed?
- Print test page works?
- Internet works?
nltest /dsgetdc:cascades.localreturns CS-SERVER?
-
Migrate user profile if needed
- Copy local Desktop/Documents to network share
- Or use ForensiT User Profile Wizard (free) to migrate local → domain profile
5c — Link GPOs (after first successful join)
- Link "CSC - Security Baseline" → domain root
- Link "CSC - Drive Mappings" → user OUs (Departments, Management, Sales, MemCare)
- Link "CSC - Printer Deployment" → OU=Workstations
- Link "CSC - Windows Update" → domain root
- Link "CSC - Folder Redirection" → user OUs
Run gpupdate /force on first machine, verify everything works.
5d — Update existing domain machines
Run on CRYSTAL-PC, ACCT2-PC, DESKTOP-H6QHRR7, DESKTOP-1ISF081:
gpupdate /force
# Verify drive mappings and printers appeared
Rollback (per machine)
- Log in with
Localadminlocal account - Run:
Remove-Computer -UnjoinDomainCredential (Get-Credential) -Restart - Machine returns to workgroup mode with local accounts intact
