Session Summary

Picked up the Cascades of Tucson network migration — moving staff machines and printers off the flat old LAN ("CSC ENT", 192.168.0.0/22) onto the isolated Staff VLAN 20 ("CSCNET", 10.0.20.0/24). Howard reported he had moved additional machines and printers since the 2026-06-30 work and asked where things stood. Loaded context from the wiki (clients/cascades-tucson) and the 2026-06-30 VLAN 20 printer-migration session log, then confirmed the terminology: the "CSCNET" target is pfSense VLAN 20, distinct from the WiFi "CSC ENT device-island" track.

Because Howard did not specify which machines/printers he had moved, ran a live GuruRMM reconciliation (delegated the high-volume RMM pull to a sub-agent) to discover current state: a full fleet IP map (10.0.20.x = migrated; 192.168.x = still on old LAN), CS-SERVER print-share/port inventory, and TCP reachability to every VLAN20 printer target. CS-SERVER agent id resolved live = c39f1de7-d5b6-45ae-b132-e06977ab1713 (unchanged).

The live pull showed the migration is much further along than the docs captured: 22 online hosts are now on VLAN 20, with only CS-SERVER (stays by design) plus ~6 stragglers left on the old LAN. Printers lag — only 4 of 15 CS-SERVER shares are repointed to 10.0.20.x. All 7 VLAN20 printer targets are reachable on 9100, including 10.0.20.74 (the MCMedTech target) even though its share still points at the stale 192.168.2.53. The MEMCARE-STATION rename staged on 6/30 has not applied (box still reports RECEPTIONIST-PC).

Reconciled both living docs to the live state: rewrote clients/cascades-tucson/docs/printer-gpo-map.md with the full 15-share inventory + 2 direct-IP printers + the 22-machine VLAN20 roster + a re-prioritized action list, and added a 2026-07-01 progress snapshot to the project_cascades_vlan20_migration_routing memory. No production changes were made this session (read-only investigation + doc updates). Offered to do the safe MCMedTech share repoint (.53 -> .74) but held pending Howard's decision on the GPO silent-install path.

Key Decisions

  • Used the live RMM fleet IP pull as the discovery mechanism for "which machines/printers moved," rather than asking Howard to enumerate them — machines' current IPs directly reveal VLAN20 vs old-LAN membership.
  • Delegated the live data-gathering (fleet enumeration + CS-SERVER printer state + reachability) to a sub-agent because it was high-volume RMM tool output; kept the reconciliation and doc writes in the main context.
  • Did NOT hand-edit the wiki article (compiled artifact — /wiki-compile only); updated the running doc + memory, which is what "update the running map + memory" scopes to.
  • Held on the MCMedTech share repoint (safe — target .74 is live/reachable) until Howard decides reboot-test vs pre-stage-drivers for the GPO, to keep printer changes batched with the GPO go-live rather than one-off.

Problems Encountered

  • RMM/coord were initially unreachable from Howard-Home: Tailscale was stuck in NoState and disconnecting because unattended mode was off. Sub-agent set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tailscale IPN\UnattendedMode = always and restarted the service — now stable at 100.103.198.108, subnet route to 172.16.3.30 up. Persistent fix; flagged to Howard.
  • Docs undercounted migration progress (tracked only a handful of machines/printers). Resolved by the full live pull + doc rewrite.

Configuration Changes

  • Modified: clients/cascades-tucson/docs/printer-gpo-map.md — full rewrite reconciled to live 2026-07-01 state (15-share inventory with current port IPs + VLAN20 status, 2 direct-IP printers, 22-machine VLAN20 roster + stragglers/offline, re-prioritized action list, driver traps for MF751/MF743 PCL6 shares).
  • Modified: .claude/memory/project_cascades_vlan20_migration_routing.md — added 2026-07-01 progress snapshot (machines done, printers 4/15, GPO not live, rename pending); mechanics/gotchas retained.
  • Created: this session log.
  • Machine config (Howard-Home, by sub-agent): HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tailscale IPN\UnattendedMode = always + Tailscale service restart. Not a repo change.
  • No changes to CS-SERVER, pfSense, printers, or GPOs this session.

Credentials & Secrets

  • No credentials created or discovered. RMM commands ran as the agent (SYSTEM); no vaulted cred needed for the read-only local queries. Vaulted CS-SERVER admin (clients/cascades-tucson/cs-server.sops.yaml) was NOT used this session.

Infrastructure & Servers

  • CS-SERVER 192.168.2.248 (SMB) / 192.168.2.254 (Hyper-V vEth) — DC + print server; stays on old LAN by design. GuruRMM agent c39f1de7-d5b6-45ae-b132-e06977ab1713 (resolved live, unchanged). Holds no DHCP scopes (VLAN20 DHCP served by the UniFi gateway).

  • Howard-Home: Tailscale 100.103.198.108 (now unattended/stable).

Commands & Outputs

  • VLAN20 printer reachability from CS-SERVER (TCP 9100, 2s timeout): 10.0.20.221 True, .220 True, .94 True, .78 True, .74 True, .228 True, .236 True. Gateway 10.0.20.1 ping True. No asleep/off false negatives.
  • Data sources: live Get-NetIPAddress + Win32_BIOS serial on 29 online agents; CS-SERVER DNS zone for offline hosts; CS-SERVER Get-Printer/Get-PrinterPort.

Pending / Incomplete Tasks

  • Decide the GPO silent-install path: reboot-test vs pre-stage-drivers (recommended). This is the blocker to taking CSC - Point and Print (CS-SERVER) fleet-live (currently pilot-scoped to DESKTOP-H6QHRR7).
  • Repoint MCMedTech share 192.168.2.53 -> 10.0.20.74 (safe; target live) — offered, held for Howard's go.
  • Repoint remaining stale caregiver-GPO shares as printers re-IP: NursesPrinter (.75), HealthServices (.138), MCDirector (.52, +UFR II), CopyRoom (.230).
  • Repoint CSC - Life Enrichment Printers GPO RecRoom-Canon -> LifeEnrichment.
  • Re-IP + repoint remaining old-LAN shares: Kitchen (+UFR II), Accounting, AdminOffice, ExecDirector (+UFR II), SalesMarketing.
  • Reconcile CulinaryChef (192.168.3.88) vs Chef direct-IP (.236) — retire redundant share if same device.
  • Apply MEMCARE-STATION rename (needs reboot; memcare box still reports RECEPTIONIST-PC).
  • Domain-join workgroup machines (DESKTOP-MD6UQI3, CHEF-PC, MEMRECEPT-PC, MEMCARE-STATION, DESKTOP-LPOPV30) -> switch direct-IP printers to \\CS-SERVER\<share> + GPO.
  • Optional: save a harness memory for the Howard-Home Tailscale UnattendedMode fix.
  • Cascades printer skill (Howard's idea) — package the migration how-to into a reusable skill.
