Session Summary

Short session bridging the end of the 2026-05-20 phase 2.6 work and a midday sync on 2026-05-21. The primary action was posting an internal comment to Syncro ticket #32303 (110680053) documenting that passwords supplied for Lauren Hasselman and Crystal Rodriguez did not work this session, preventing work on their machines. The comment was posted via the Syncro API (/api/v1/tickets/110680053/comment) using form-encoded data (JSON body returned 400 — resolved by switching to form encoding with --data-urlencode).

Ran /sync at midday on 2026-05-21 and pulled 11 commits from Mike Swanson, including a major overhaul of the /syncro skill. The timer-based billing workflow (timer_entry → charge_timer_entry) has been replaced with a direct add_line_item approach. Reviewed the updated syncro.md to understand the new billing flow before the next Cascades session.


Key Decisions

  • Comment posted as hidden/internal to avoid customer-visible email. do_not_email: true, hidden: true.
  • Used form-encoded POST (--data-urlencode) instead of JSON body — Syncro /comment endpoint returns 400 on JSON content-type but requires subject field when form-encoded.
  • Did not attempt any machine work for Lauren or Crystal this session — passwords were not working and no alternative access path was available.

Problems Encountered

  • Syncro comment endpoint returned 400 on JSON POST: Two JSON attempts failed with 400 (no error message in body, just HTML 400 page). Switched to --data-urlencode form encoding; first attempt returned {"success":false,"message":["Subject can't be blank"]} — added subject field, comment posted successfully on second attempt.

Configuration Changes

None — no server or domain changes this session.

Pending / Incomplete Tasks

  1. Lauren Hasselman — Howard must move her OneDrive data to local folders manually first, then:

    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity SG-FolderRedirect -Members lauren.hasselman
    

    Log her off/on, verify \\CS-SERVER\homes\lauren.hasselman\ populated. Get working credentials first.

  2. Crystal Rodriguez — Same prereq (working credentials). Folder redirection pending.

  3. Entra Connect expansion — Add cascadestucson.com UPN suffix; change Administrative OU users' UPNs to @cascadestucson.com; add OU=Administrative to sync scope; run delta sync; verify soft-match.

  4. Phase 3 domain joins — DESKTOP-KQSL232, CHEF-PC, SALES4-PC, MDIRECTOR-PC (MDIRECTOR-PC needs Win10 Home → Pro first).

  5. Pre-Phase 3 prerequisites — Populate SG-Mgmt-RW, SG-Sales-RW, SG-Activities-RW; krbtgt rotation (569+ days); remove Meredith.Kuhn + John.Trozzi from Domain Admins.
