# Sif-oidak District — Tohono O'odham Nation

## Overview

- **Organization type:** Tribal government / district — Sif-oidak District of the Tohono O'odham Nation
- **Contract type:** Per-incident (no prepaid block documented)
- **Billing rate:** $150/hr remote labor
- **Syncro customer ID:** 7694718
- **Primary contact:** Deanna Cruz — deanna.cruz@tonation-nsn.gov
- **Environment:** **NOT hybrid** — two *independent, unsynced* identity systems: an on-premises AD domain (SifOidak.local) and a separate M365 cloud tenant. There is **no Entra Connect / AD Connect** anywhere (verified 2026-07-09 on both SIF-SERVER and SIF-SERVER2). See [Identity model](#identity-model-read-before-touching-any-account).
- **M365 onboarding:** Completed 2026-06-03; all four ACG MSP apps consented, roles assigned

## Contacts

| Name | Role / Notes |
|---|---|
| Deanna Cruz | Primary contact (Syncro record); email: deanna.cruz@tonation-nsn.gov |
| Joshua Albert | End user; jalbert.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com; domain account: jalbert |
| Dwayne Ortega | End user; Dortega.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com; new account created 2026-06-03 |

## Identity model (READ BEFORE TOUCHING ANY ACCOUNT)

Sif-oidak runs **two separate identity systems with no synchronization between them.** A user
needs a *distinct account in each*, and their passwords are independent.

| | On-prem AD | M365 cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Directory | SifOidak.local | sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com |
| UPN shape | `jalbert@SifOidak.local` | `jalbert.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` |
| Used for | **Windows workstation sign-in** | Email / Office / Teams |
| Password reset via | `Set-ADAccountPassword` on SIF-SERVER | Graph API |

**Verified 2026-07-09:** no `ADSync` service and no "Azure AD Connect" uninstall entry on either
SIF-SERVER or SIF-SERVER2; no AD user carries an `msDS-ConsistencyGuid`; every M365 user has
`onPremisesSyncEnabled: null`. The two directories are genuinely disjoint.

**Consequences — these are the traps:**

- **Workstations are domain-joined ONLY** (`dsregcmd`: `DomainJoined: YES`, `AzureAdJoined: NO`).
  **M365 credentials cannot sign in to a Sif-oidak machine.** Creating a cloud user does *not*
  give anyone a workstation login.
- Resetting the M365 password does nothing for a machine login, and vice versa. When a user says
  "I can't log in," **first establish which system** — Windows sign-in screen = AD; Outlook/Teams
  prompt = M365.
- Onboarding a new employee requires **two** account creations, not one.

### Actually THREE systems — email is not in M365 either

| System | Directory | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| On-prem AD | SifOidak.local | Windows workstation sign-in |
| M365 cloud | sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com | Office apps + OneDrive sign-in **(no mailbox)** |
| Email | **sifoidak.com @ GoDaddy** | Mail (`MX -> smtp.secureserver.net`) |

The M365 SKU is `O365_BUSINESS` (Microsoft 365 Apps for business). Its Exchange entitlement is
`EXCHANGE_S_FOUNDATION` — the **no-mailbox stub**. Verified 2026-07-09: all 12 users have
`mail: null` and **zero** `proxyAddresses`. There are no Exchange Online mailboxes in this tenant.
Mail lives at GoDaddy and is not managed through M365.

> **Do not confuse "username" with "email" here.** Every M365 user's *username* (UPN) is
> `...@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com`. Their *email address* is `...@sifoidak.com` at GoDaddy. Both
> statements are simultaneously true.

## USER ONBOARDING RUNBOOK (Mike's standing instruction, 2026-07-09)

**Creating a new Sif-oidak user requires creating accounts in BOTH systems. Never just one.**

1. **On-prem AD account** — on SIF-SERVER, `New-ADUser` into `OU=Domain Users,DC=SifOidak,DC=local`,
   SamAccountName = first-initial + surname, UPN `<sam>@SifOidak.local`, `Domain Users` group,
   temp password with `-ChangePasswordAtLogon $true`. Verify `pwdLastSet=0` on **both** DCs.
   *(Without this the user cannot log in to their machine at all — see the 2026-07-09 history entry.)*
2. **M365 account** — Graph user, UPN `<initial><surname>.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` (the
   `onmicrosoft.com` suffix is correct and unavoidable — see below), `usageLocation: US` **before**
   license assignment, then assign `O365_BUSINESS`. Watch for seat auto-expansion.
3. **Email account** — provisioned at **GoDaddy on sifoidak.com**, not in M365.
4. Vault every credential (`clients/sif-oidak/ad-users.sops.yaml`), never paste it into a ticket.

### Username convention — `onmicrosoft.com` stays (DECIDED 2026-07-09, do not re-open)

M365 usernames at this client **will keep the `@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` suffix.** New users get
`<name>@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com`. This is settled — don't propose changing it again.

**Why it can't change:** `sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` is the tenant's *only* verified domain
(`isInitial: true`, `isDefault: true`), and a UPN may only use a verified domain. Using
`@sifoidak.com` would require adding it as a custom Entra domain and proving ownership with a **DNS
TXT record** — but `sifoidak.com` is registered at **GoDaddy** (`ns19/ns20.domaincontrol.com`) and
**ACG does not have registrar access.** Mike confirmed on 2026-07-09 that we cannot get it, so the
rename is off the table.

Renaming would also have broken every existing user's Office sign-in until they re-authenticated —
a real cost for a cosmetic gain, with no upside while mail lives at GoDaddy anyway.

If registrar access is ever obtained, the path is: add `sifoidak.com` **without the Exchange
service** (to protect the `MX -> secureserver.net` GoDaddy mail flow), verify, set default, rename.
Until then this is not actionable.

**Note on the existing UPNs:** most are `<initial><surname>.sod@`, but `m.allen@` and
`marcella.enos@` deviate. Match `<initial><surname>.sod@` for new users.

### AD naming conventions (match these)

- `SamAccountName` = first initial + surname (`jalbert`, `dortega`, `dcruz`, `drodriguez`)
- `CN` = full display name (`CN=Dwayne Ortega`)
- Container = `OU=Domain Users,DC=SifOidak,DC=local` (a real OU, not the default `CN=Users`)
- UPN suffix = `@SifOidak.local` (the only suffix in the forest)
- Departmental groups exist (e.g. `AssistancePrograms Group`) — do **not** add a new user to one
  without asking; `Domain Users` alone is the safe default.

### AD password policy (weak — note for any hardening discussion)

`MinPasswordLength: 6`, `ComplexityEnabled: False`, `MaxPasswordAge: ~42 days`.

## Infrastructure

### On-Premises Servers

| Host | Role | Domain | GuruRMM Agent ID | Status (last seen) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIF-SERVER | Primary Domain Controller | SifOidak.local | def9fdbb-020b-498d-9d3b-edf5912ba298 | Online (2026-07-09) |
| SIF-SERVER2 | **Backup Domain Controller** (`DomainRole: 4`, confirmed 2026-07-09) | SifOidak.local | 944b0c4b-048d-44b8-85e5-40da135f58d6 | Online (2026-07-09) |
| Sif-Laptop554 | Endpoint — **Joshua Albert's** (jalbert profile, active console session) | SifOidak.local | 9e5016f0-e330-4d24-ab01-67cf4e55d46b | Online (2026-07-09) |
| Sif-Laptop555 | Endpoint — likely Dwayne Ortega's (unconfirmed) | SifOidak.local | 1be314d5-0395-4b1c-aa26-3b4a96bd2e22 | Offline (2026-07-09) |

> Laptop agent UUIDs changed between 2026-05-28 and 2026-07-09 (agents re-enrolled). **Always
> resolve hostname → UUID live** via `rmm-search.sh -c sif-oidak`; never reuse a UUID from this table.

**Sif-Laptop554 local accounts:** `Localadmin` and `Sif` (both enabled); `Administrator`/`Guest`
disabled. Profiles present: `jalbert`, `guru`, `Sif`, `Localadmin`. Local creds are vaulted at
`clients/sif-oidak/laptops.sops.yaml`.

- Domain: SifOidak.local
- **SIF-SERVER = PDC** (`DomainRole: 5`); **SIF-SERVER2 = backup DC** (`DomainRole: 4`). Both confirmed 2026-07-09.
- Two DCs means a workstation may authenticate against either. After any AD write, verify the change is present on **both** (`Get-ADUser <u> -Server localhost` on each) before telling a user to try again.

### Network

- Internal network details not documented
- No firewall, IP ranges, or ISP information recorded

## M365 Tenant

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Tenant domain | sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com |
| Tenant ID | 568eb763-3b95-4271-8443-530c74b1c6bb |
| License SKU | O365 Business (cdd28e44-67e3-425e-be4c-737fab2899d3) |
| Seat count | 11/11 (auto-expanded from 10 on 2026-06-03 when Dortega was licensed) |
| CIPP status | NOT in CIPP as of 2026-06-03 — GDAP/Partner Center relationship needed |

### ACG MSP App Principals (consented 2026-06-03 via onboard-tenant.sh)

| App | Service Principal OID | Roles Assigned |
|---|---|---|
| Tenant Admin | 3cc1f0b3-6cc0-4dc3-ac8c-ac0ed94c5341 | Conditional Access Administrator |
| User Manager | 011b990a-c787-4af1-b4d5-606a5461f2e5 | User Administrator, Authentication Administrator |
| Security Investigator | 4b42e8e7-615d-4d67-8edf-a4166f1fd179 | Exchange Administrator (2 Graph permissions pending — see Open Items) |
| Exchange Operator | 0d51ec52-0070-4073-98c6-2c8eb3caa8b5 | Exchange Administrator |

- Onboarding required Tenant Admin app consent first, then `onboard-tenant.sh` to programmatically consent remaining apps and assign roles
- User Manager was accidentally consented first; script handled the already-present SP gracefully
- Two Graph permission grants failed on Security Investigator (`df021288` User.Read.All, `b0afded3` AuditLog.Read.All) — Graph replication timing; non-blocking

## Known Users / Accounts

### Joshua Albert

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| UPN | jalbert.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com |
| M365 user ID | 55f77ce1-20fc-44b1-a7c7-2fa42b348b76 |
| AD account | jalbert (domain: SifOidak.local) |
| License | O365 Business — already assigned prior to 2026-06-03 |
| Password policy | PasswordNeverExpires was TRUE; cleared 2026-05-28 (was prerequisite for must-change flag; not restored) |

**2026-05-28 — AD password reset:** Password reset to `Temp1234!` via `Set-ADAccountPassword` on SIF-SERVER using GuruRMM remote PowerShell. Must-change flag initially applied then reversed per Mike's revised requirement. `PasswordNeverExpires` was cleared and NOT restored — improved security posture.

**2026-06-03 — M365 password reset:** Password reset to user-chosen value `Albert#2015` via Graph API PATCH. `forceChangePasswordNextSignIn: false` (Howard explicitly stated user chose the password).

### Dwayne Ortega

**Has BOTH accounts as of 2026-07-09.** They are unrelated and have independent passwords.

| Field | M365 cloud | On-prem AD |
|---|---|---|
| Identifier | Dortega.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com | `dortega` / dortega@SifOidak.local |
| Object ID / DN | 014c1df6-444b-4502-9239-15c3ff935887 | CN=Dwayne Ortega,OU=Domain Users,DC=SifOidak,DC=local |
| Created | 2026-06-03 | 2026-07-09 |
| License | O365 Business | n/a |
| Groups | — | Domain Users only |
| Password | reset 2026-07-09T20:33:05Z (by someone other than this session) | temp, **must change at next logon** (`pwdLastSet=0`) |
| Credential location | not vaulted | `clients/sif-oidak/ad-users.sops.yaml` |

M365 user created 2026-06-03: usage location set to US before license assignment (Graph API
requirement); license assignment triggered seat auto-expansion from 10 to 11.

**AD account created 2026-07-09** to resolve "cannot log in to his machine" — he had a cloud
identity only, and the workstations are domain-joined with no Entra join, so no M365 credential
could ever have signed him in. See History.

## On-Premises Active Directory

- **Domain:** SifOidak.local
- **Primary DC:** SIF-SERVER (GuruRMM agent ID: def9fdbb-020b-498d-9d3b-edf5912ba298)
- **Confirmed AD cmdlets available:** `Get-ADUser`, `Set-ADAccountPassword`, `Set-ADUser`
- **Execution context:** NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (via GuruRMM remote PowerShell)
- **Password complexity:** Standard AD complexity (upper, lower, digit, special char required — `Temp1234!` meets requirements)
- **jalbert PasswordNeverExpires:** Was `$true` prior to 2026-05-28; cleared and not restored

### AD Management Notes

- `Set-ADUser -PasswordNeverExpires $false -ChangePasswordAtLogon $true` fails in a single call — AD rejects both flags simultaneously. Use two sequential calls.
- `Set-ADUser -ChangePasswordAtLogon $true` may fail even after clearing `PasswordNeverExpires` in the same command string (possible replication delay). Use `net user <user> /logonpasswordchg:yes /domain` instead — more reliable.
- ADSI path with single quotes inside double-quoted JSON strings causes PowerShell parse errors in GuruRMM command payloads. Use `DirectorySearcher` with double-quoted ADSI path for AD verification.

## Printing

Print queues are shared off the **domain controllers** (not a dedicated print server). All ports
point at `192.168.0.99`.

| Share | Host | Driver |
|---|---|---|
| `\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP UD3 PCL6` | SIF-SERVER | SHARP UD3 PCL6 |
| `\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP MX-6070V PCL6` | SIF-SERVER | SHARP MX-6070V PCL6 |
| `\\SIF-SERVER2\SHARP MX-6240N PCL6` | SIF-SERVER2 | SHARP MX-6240N PCL6 |

### Adding a shared printer requires local admin (error 740)

**Symptom:** a standard user adds `\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP UD3 PCL6` and gets **error 740**
(`ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED`). `Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin` event **600** logs
`Error code= 800702e4` (`0x2E4` = 740) — "failed to import the printer driver ... from
`\\sif-server\print$\x64\PCC\sv0emenu.inf_amd64_...cab`". The event text blames the digital
signature; **that is a red herring** — 0x800702e4 is purely an elevation failure.

**Cause:** post-KB5005652 (PrintNightmare hardening), `RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators`
defaults to **1** — only administrators may install a print driver via Point and Print. The value is
**absent** from the registry on Sif endpoints, so the restrictive default applies. Standard users
(e.g. jalbert) are not local admins; local admins are `Administrator`, `Localadmin`, and
`SIFOIDAK\Domain Admins`.

**In practice the UAC prompt for the driver install does not surface to the user**, so it reads as a
bare error rather than a permission request (confirmed by Howard 2026-07-09).

**Fix:** install the printer with admin rights — supply `Localadmin` credentials at the UAC prompt,
or install it for the user. Once the driver is in the local driver store, subsequent connections work.

**Do NOT "fix" this by setting `RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators=0`.** That re-opens the
PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-34527) remote-code-execution class of bug for every user on the machine.
Preferred non-interactive alternative: add a **per-machine** connection as SYSTEM via GuruRMM
(`rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n"\\SIF-SERVER\<share>"` + spooler restart), which installs
the driver under an admin context without weakening the policy.

### Known defect — GPO pushes a printer from the wrong server

Sif-Laptop554 logs event **513**: `Group Policy was unable to add per computer connection
\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP MX-6240N PCL6. Error code 0x709.` The MX-6240N is shared on **SIF-SERVER2**, not
SIF-SERVER, so the GPO path is wrong. Correct the GPO to `\\SIF-SERVER2\SHARP MX-6240N PCL6`
(or re-share the queue on SIF-SERVER). Unresolved as of 2026-07-09.

- Ticket #32341: https://computerguru.syncromsp.com/tickets/111395067

## Vault

- **On-prem credentials:** `clients/sif-oidak/laptops.sops.yaml` — local admin / standard user creds for Sif-Laptop554/555
- **M365 admin credentials:** NOT vaulted — no shared admin credentials recorded for this tenant

## Patterns / Notes

- **"Cannot log in" is ambiguous at this client — disambiguate FIRST.** Because AD and M365 are
  unsynced, the same complaint has two unrelated root causes. Ask (or check) whether the failure is
  at the Windows sign-in screen (AD) or in an Office app (M365) before touching a password. On
  2026-07-09 Dwayne Ortega's *cloud* password had already been reset the same day, which did nothing
  for his machine login because he had no AD account at all.
- **Creating an M365 user does NOT create a workstation login.** New-hire onboarding here needs two
  account creations. This is the single easiest mistake to make at Sif-oidak.
- **Tenant identification was non-obvious:** Initial attempt used `toua.net` (Tohono O'odham Nation parent org) before Mike confirmed the correct tenant is `sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com`. Always use the client's specific subdomain, not the tribal parent. The Syncro primary contact (deanna.cruz@tonation-nsn.gov) uses the parent org domain — that does not indicate the correct M365 tenant.
- **ACG MSP app onboarding order matters:** Tenant Admin must be consented first. `onboard-tenant.sh` then handles all other app SPs and role assignments. Do not skip directly to User Manager or Exchange Operator.
- **Seat auto-expansion accepted without manual purchase:** Microsoft 365 auto-expanded from 10 to 11 seats when Dortega's license was assigned. No manual action required in the moment, but billing implications should be verified with client if they have a fixed-seat contract.
- **Graph permission replication timing:** Two Security Investigator Graph permissions failed immediately after SP creation — standard replication lag. Re-run `onboard-tenant.sh sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` to backfill. Non-blocking for user management operations.
- **Two DCs, not one:** SIF-SERVER (PDC) and SIF-SERVER2 (backup DC). Any assumption of a single DC is wrong; confirm AD writes replicated to both before declaring a fix done.
- **PasswordNeverExpires cleared on jalbert:** Pre-2026-05-28 state was `PasswordNeverExpires = $true`. This was cleared as a prerequisite for must-change and was not restored at Mike's direction. If this account is a service account or has special policy exemption, re-enabling may be needed — confirm at next contact.
- **Client not yet in CIPP:** Tenant is onboarded into ACG MSP apps but has no GDAP / Partner Center delegated admin relationship. For full MSP visibility and CIPP inclusion, a Partner Center delegated admin request is needed.

## Open Items

- [ ] **Still outstanding (re-confirmed 2026-07-09):** re-run `onboard-tenant.sh sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` to backfill 2 missing Security Investigator Graph permissions (`User.Read.All`, `AuditLog.Read.All`). A `signInActivity` query on 2026-07-09 still 403s with "does not have required Microsoft Graph permission(s): AuditLog.Read.All" — so sign-in history is currently unreadable for this tenant.
- [ ] Confirm which laptop is actually Dwayne Ortega's (Sif-Laptop555 assumed, was offline 2026-07-09) and verify he can sign in + complete the forced password change
- [x] ~~Remove `onmicrosoft.com` from M365 usernames~~ — **CLOSED 2026-07-09.** ACG has no registrar access to `sifoidak.com` (GoDaddy); Mike confirmed we cannot obtain it. UPNs stay on `sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com`. Do not re-open.
- [ ] Fix GPO printer path: it pushes `\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP MX-6240N PCL6`, but that queue is shared on **SIF-SERVER2** (event 513, error 0x709)
- [ ] Consider whether AD password policy should be hardened (currently min length 6, complexity OFF)
- [ ] Decide whether Dwayne needs `AssistancePrograms Group` membership (jalbert has it; Dwayne created with `Domain Users` only)
- [ ] Add `clients/sif-oidak/m365-admin.sops.yaml` if client shares admin credentials with ACG
- [ ] Determine if jalbert's `PasswordNeverExpires` should be restored (was cleared 2026-05-28)
- [ ] Consider GDAP / Partner Center delegated admin relationship to get tenant into CIPP

## History

### 2026-05-28 — jalbert AD password reset (GuruRMM)

Howard requested a remote password reset for domain user `jalbert` (Joshua Albert) on SIF-SERVER. ACG used GuruRMM remote PowerShell (no RDP). SIF-SERVER confirmed online (agent def9fdbb), execution context NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Password reset to `Temp1234!` via `Set-ADAccountPassword`. Must-change flag applied then reversed per Mike's direction. `PasswordNeverExpires` cleared and not restored. Syncro ticket #32341 created, 0.5h billed at $150/hr ($75.00), invoice #1650451827.

### 2026-06-03 — M365 tenant onboarding + user provisioning

Howard initiated via Discord requesting an O365 license for Joshua Albert. Tenant `sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com` was not in CIPP and had no ACG MSP app consent. Tenant identified by Mike after `toua.net` was tried first (wrong). Onboarded via admin consent + `onboard-tenant.sh`: Tenant Admin, User Manager, Security Investigator, and Exchange Operator all consented; directory roles assigned. Joshua Albert found to already have O365 Business license. Password reset to user-chosen value `Albert#2015`. New user Dwayne Ortega created (Dortega.sod@sifoidak.onmicrosoft.com), usage location set to US, O365 Business license assigned — tenant auto-expanded 10 → 11 seats. Syncro ticket #32380 created, assigned to Howard.

### 2026-07-09 — Dwayne Ortega could not log in to his machine; root cause = no AD account

Howard reported Dwayne Ortega could not log in to his machine. Investigation via GuruRMM found
**no on-prem AD account matching `ortega`/`dwayne`** among the 71 domain users — he existed only as
an M365 cloud user (created 2026-06-03). `dsregcmd` on Sif-Laptop554 confirmed the workstations are
`DomainJoined: YES / AzureAdJoined: NO`, so an M365 credential can never authenticate a Windows
sign-in here. Neither SIF-SERVER nor SIF-SERVER2 has any Entra Connect / ADSync component, and no AD
object carries an `msDS-ConsistencyGuid` — the directories are fully disjoint, correcting this
article's prior "hybrid" description. His cloud password had been reset earlier the same day
(`lastPasswordChangeDateTime: 2026-07-09T20:33:05Z`), which could not have fixed a machine login.

**Fix:** created AD user `dortega` (CN=Dwayne Ortega, OU=Domain Users) on SIF-SERVER via GuruRMM
`-EncodedCommand` dispatch, enabled, `Domain Users` only, matching the client's
first-initial+surname convention. Set a temp password with `ChangePasswordAtLogon`; verified
`pwdLastSet=0`. Temp credential vaulted to `clients/sif-oidak/ad-users.sops.yaml` (never posted to
chat/ticket). Laptop agent UUIDs found stale in this article and corrected.

### 2026-07-09 — jalbert could not add the SHARP UD3 printer (error 740)

Joshua Albert hit **error 740** (`ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED`) adding `\\SIF-SERVER\SHARP UD3 PCL6`.
PrintService/Admin event 600 confirmed `Error code= 800702e4` on three attempts. Root cause: the
post-KB5005652 default `RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators=1` blocks non-admin print-driver
installs, and **the UAC prompt for the driver install never surfaced to the user**, so it presented
as a bare error. Howard installed the printer himself with admin rights; no remote change was made.
Investigation also surfaced a GPO pushing the MX-6240N queue from the wrong server (event 513).

Also established this session: the tenant has **no Exchange mailboxes** (`O365_BUSINESS` =
Apps-for-business, `EXCHANGE_S_FOUNDATION` stub; all users `mail: null`, no proxyAddresses), and
email for `sifoidak.com` is hosted at GoDaddy. Mike set a standing rule that new Sif-oidak users get
**both** an AD account and an M365 account. The related request to drop `onmicrosoft.com` from
usernames was investigated and **closed the same day**: it requires verifying `sifoidak.com` as a
custom Entra domain via a DNS TXT record, and Mike confirmed ACG has no registrar access to the
GoDaddy account. UPNs stay as-is. See the Onboarding Runbook.
