Session Summary

Investigated and resolved the Gagetrak application email failure for Dataforth. Root cause was SMTP AUTH explicitly disabled at the per-mailbox level on calibration@dataforth.com in Exchange Online. Fixed via Exchange Online REST API. Also performed full M365 tenant onboarding for all ComputerGuru apps, deployed GuruRMM agent on DF-GAGETRAK, diagnosed and fixed two GuruRMM infrastructure issues, and billed/closed the Syncro ticket.

Work Completed

1. M365 Tenant Investigation (calibration@dataforth.com)

Goal: Diagnose why Gagetrak application couldn't send email via calibration@dataforth.com.

Tenant: dataforth.com
Tenant ID: (resolved from domain via Graph API)

Findings:

• Account status: Enabled, sign-in allowed
• MFA: Not enrolled on calibration@ (no app passwords needed)
• SMTP AUTH tenant-wide: null (not disabled at tenant level)
• SMTP AUTH per-mailbox: SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled = true — this was the root cause
• License: M365 Business Standard (includes Exchange Online, desktop Office apps)
• AllowedToCreateAppPasswords: not required (no MFA)

Fix applied:

PATCH /adminapi/beta/{tenant}/CasMailbox/calibration@dataforth.com
{"SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled": false}

Verified: re-read showed SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled = false after ~8 second replication delay.

2. Full Dataforth Tenant Onboarding (All ComputerGuru Apps)

Ran onboard-tenant.sh for dataforth.com. All 5 ComputerGuru apps consented:

App	Tier	Status
ComputerGuru Security Investigator	investigator	Consented
ComputerGuru Exchange Operator	exchange-op	Consented
ComputerGuru User Manager	user-manager	Consented
ComputerGuru Tenant Admin	tenant-admin	Consented
ComputerGuru Defender Add-on	defender	Consented

Additional manual step required (gap in onboard-tenant.sh):

• Exchange Operator SP (b43e7342) needed Exchange Administrator directory role assigned
• onboard-tenant.sh only assigns Exchange Admin to Security Investigator, not Exchange Operator
• Assigned manually via Graph API using Tenant Admin token
• Filed as future fix for the script

tenants.md updated: Dataforth row changed from NO | Old app only to YES | All apps consented; Sec Inv + Exch Op + User Mgr roles assigned 2026-04-23; Exch Op Exchange Admin role added manually

3. calibration@ Password Reset

Reset via User Manager tier (Graph API):

• New password: lMRCN#o2uP3$cwuoKIx0
• Kevin (kwackerly) handles the account — notified via Syncro ticket comment

4. GuruRMM Agent on DF-GAGETRAK

Machine: DF-GAGETRAK, 192.168.0.102, Windows 11 Pro
Access method: WinRM double-hop (local → AD2 192.168.0.6 → GAGETRAK 192.168.0.102)

Install process:

• Server at 172.16.3.30 not reachable from Dataforth network (internal IP)
• Downloaded MSI via local machine, copied bytes through WinRM sessions
• MSI exit code 1603 (already installed — GuruRMMAgent service pre-existed from Apr 21)
• Set registry keys via WinRM:

HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GuruRMM\
  SiteId   = 3a2f6866-26cd-452c-9806-a8df21475c3c  (Dataforth D1)
  ApiKey   = grmm_b-UKf4zCGx9jRiiCUCLtjuL6Fmemms9f
  Version  = 0.6.2
  InstallDir = C:\Program Files\GuruRMM\

Enrollment:

• Called POST /api/enroll on server → HTTP 201
• AgentKey returned: agk_nW7msMhO6-LgURI7F3YYEWVnV6JMpjMW (written to registry by agent)
• enrolled_agents record: bf87301e-b4eb-4685-8479-a6215fc7195f

Agent not coming online — diagnosis:

Issue 1 — Cloudflare blocking WebSocket:

• rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com was orange-clouded → Cloudflare accepted TCP but didn't forward WSS
• Fixed: set DNS to grey-cloud (DNS-only) via Cloudflare API
• Record: 30b183f66e1c24faf898f8b3efc9547d → proxied: false, TTL 60
• Server real IP: 72.194.62.10

Issue 2 — enrolled_agents keys not validated by WebSocket auth:

• Server ws/mod.rs authenticate() only checks sites table and agents table (legacy)
• It never checks enrolled_agents.agent_key_hash
• Agent sending AgentKey = agk_... → "Invalid API key" loop
• Workaround: Wrote site API key into AgentKey registry field:

  AgentKey = grmm_b-UKf4zCGx9jRiiCUCLtjuL6Fmemms9f
  

• Agent now authenticates via site-based path, auto-registers against Dataforth D1 site

DF-GAGETRAK online:

• agents table: 7626d82c-0736-47a6-8bc6-68e39859caed
• hostname: DF-GAGETRAK
• device_id: win-901ce38b-fb6e-44b8-a577-7c0bdf269a9a
• site_id: 3a2f6866-26cd-452c-9806-a8df21475c3c (Dataforth D1)
• status: online
• os_type: windows

Log file on GAGETRAK: C:\ProgramData\GuruRMM\agent.log.2026-04-23

5. GuruRMM Issues Filed (Gitea)

• Issue #8: bug: enrolled_agents keys never validated by WebSocket auth — agent loops Invalid API key
  • Fix: add third auth path in ws/mod.rs authenticate() that checks enrolled_agents.agent_key_hash
• Issue #9: rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com must be grey-clouded — Cloudflare proxy blocks WebSocket
  • Options: keep grey-cloud, Cloudflare Tunnel, or fix nginx WebSocket proxy config

6. Syncro Ticket #32142 — Billing and Close

Ticket: #32142 (ID: 108919783) — "Remote - Error message from Gagetrak"
Customer: Dataforth Corporation (customer_id: 578095)

Resolution comment posted (public, ID: 407135346):

• Root cause explanation (per-mailbox SMTP AUTH disabled)
• SMTP settings for Gagetrak app
• Password for calibration@ included

DUPLICATE COMMENT: ID 407135146 (09:05) is a duplicate of 407135346 (09:06). ACTION REQUIRED: Delete comment 407135146 manually in Syncro GUI.

Billing:

• 2 hours Labor - Remote Business (product_id: 1190473)
• Line item ID: 42144896
• Invoice #67447 (ID: 1650026361)
• NOTE: Invoice shows $0.00 — Dataforth is on prepaid hours. 2 hours consumed from their block.
• Ticket status: Invoiced

7. Gagetrak SMTP Configuration (Pending Kevin)

Kevin (kwackerly) needs to configure Gagetrak application with:

Server:   smtp.office365.com
Port:     587
Security: STARTTLS / Explicit SSL
Username: calibration@dataforth.com
Password: lMRCN#o2uP3$cwuoKIx0

8. Office 365 Pre-install Attempt (Blocked)

Attempted to pre-install Office 365 on DF-GAGETRAK via WinRM. Blocked: EDR on DESKTOP-0O8A1RL flagged the WinRM Invoke-Command with credentials as malicious lateral movement and blocked PowerShell execution.

Plan: Kevin installs Office himself from office.com using his M365 Business Standard account. He signs in → Install apps → Microsoft 365 apps. No pre-staging needed since he must activate with his credentials anyway.

ODT binary staged on server at /var/www/gururmm/downloads/odt.exe (v19929-20062, 3.4MB) if needed for future deployments.

Infrastructure Changes

Cloudflare DNS

• rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com: Changed from orange-cloud (proxied) to grey-cloud (DNS-only)
• Points to: 72.194.62.10
• TTL: 60 seconds
• Cloudflare record ID: 30b183f66e1c24faf898f8b3efc9547d
• Zone ID: 1beb9917c22b54be32e5215df2c227ce
• Do NOT re-enable orange cloud without identifying root cause — will break all external agent connections

GuruRMM Database (PostgreSQL on 172.16.3.30)

• New agent record created for DF-GAGETRAK: 7626d82c-0736-47a6-8bc6-68e39859caed
• enrolled_agents record remains: bf87301e-b4eb-4685-8479-a6215fc7195f (agent_id still NULL — not linked)

Technical Notes

GuruRMM enrolled_agents Workaround

The standard MSI install flow writes SiteId to registry, agent enrolls and gets AgentKey. BUT the WebSocket auth in ws/mod.rs never checks enrolled_agents — it only validates against the sites table (site-based) or agents table (legacy). The AgentKey from enrollment is useless for WebSocket auth.

Workaround for any new Windows agent installs until Issue #8 is fixed: After install, overwrite registry AgentKey with the site API key:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GuruRMM' -Name 'AgentKey' -Value '<site_api_key>' -Type String
Restart-Service GuruRMMAgent -Force

Site API keys are in the GuruRMM DB sites.api_key column or in the vault per-site.

Syncro Comment jq Path Bug (fixed in syncro.md)

POST /comment response is {"comment": {...}} not a flat object.

• Wrong: | jq '{id: .id}' → returns null, looks like failure
• Correct: | jq '{id: .comment.id}' This caused duplicate public comments on tickets #32185 (Apr 22) and #32142 (Apr 23). syncro.md updated with correct pattern and example code.

Dataforth Prepaid Hours

All Dataforth invoices are $0.00 — they are on a prepaid hours block (monthly $2,098.87 replenishment invoices). Labor line items consume from the block rather than generating new dollar charges. 2 hours consumed today for ticket #32142.
