Session Summary
Resumed the caregiver device allow-list rollout (continued from 2026-06-03-session.md). The plan: Entra-join the 4 caregiver/medtech laptops so they exist as Entra device objects, then tag them onto the report-only allow-list CA policy created 2026-06-03.
Prepared the enrollment account. The dedicated provisioning account devices@cascadestucson.com (Cloud Device Administrator) was unlicensed, which would let a device Entra-join but skip Intune auto-enrollment. Set its usageLocation to US and assigned a Microsoft 365 Business Premium (SPB) license via the User Manager app so auto-MDM-enroll fires on join. The license is needed only transiently at enrollment time and can be reclaimed after the batch.
Provided Howard the start-to-finish enrollment runbook: confirm Intune MDM user scope = All (portal), Entra-join each laptop with devices@, verify it lands in Intune, then report device names back for tagging (extensionAttribute1=CSCCaregiverDevice). Recommended doing one laptop end-to-end first to validate the flow before the rest. NURSESTATION-PC remains the separate Hybrid Entra Join track.
No laptops were enrolled this session — enrollment is the next hands-on step for Howard. No repo changes beyond this log; the license assignment was a live Entra change.
Key Decisions
- Assigned Business Premium to
devices@rather than to a user account, keeping a dedicated provisioning identity for device joins; the seat is reclaimable post-enrollment. - Set
usageLocation=USondevices@(required before any license can be assigned).
Problems Encountered
- First license-assignment attempt failed (HTTP 404, "Resource '197609' does not exist"). Cause:
UIDis a read-only special variable in bash, soUID=<guid>silently failed and$UIDresolved to the shell's numeric user id. Resolved by renaming the variable (DEVID). - Immediate license read-back showed
Business Premium=falseright after a 200 assignLicense — Entra eventual consistency. Confirmed assigned on re-read after a short delay.
Configuration Changes
- Live Entra change (no repo files):
devices@cascadestucson.com— setusageLocation=US; assigned license SPB (cbdc14ab-d96c-4c30-b9f4-6ada7cdc1d46) via GraphPOST /users/{id}/assignLicense(User Manager tier). Verified present. - Session log created (this file).

Pending / Incomplete Tasks
- Confirm Intune MDM user scope = All (Entra -> Devices -> Mobility (MDM and MAM) -> Microsoft Intune) — not verifiable via API.
- Entra-join the 4 laptops with
devices@(do one first, validate end-to-end). - Report device names -> tag each
extensionAttribute1=CSCCaregiverDevice. - Confirm which printer(s) each laptop needs -> Intune printer push (FrontDesk Epson ET-5800 192.168.2.147; CopyRoom Canon C478iF 192.168.2.230; MCReception Epson ET-5800).
- Confirm whether any laptop needs on-prem file shares (would push that one to hybrid).
- NURSESTATION-PC Hybrid Entra Join (Entra Connect device options on CS-SERVER); clean stale 2021 record.
- Review report-only sign-in results, then cutover: enable allow-list policy + disable
CSC - Block caregivers on non-compliant device. - Reclaim Business Premium seat from
devices@after enrollment batch. - LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI: upgrade Win10 -> Win11 before PHI use.

Update: 21:20 MST — device tagging, roster classifications, ALIS worklist, app shortcuts
Continued the caregiver device rollout and finalized the restricted vs privileged user split for go-live (caregivers using phones start of next week).
Devices
- 3 of 5 laptops Entra-joined (workgroup -> AzureAd) and tagged
extensionAttribute1=CSCCaregiverDevice: Laptop2 (3ade4bd4-527f-468a-b06b-b1fa304941c8), LAPTOP-DRQ5L558 (eb5f6b98-0077-4c35-b029-ee6f9ada0eef), LAPTOP-E0STJJE8 (4b5ee995-964c-4efc-8960-f1a2a7d6257d). All Win11 26200. - Remaining 2 pending Win11 25H2 upgrade then join+tag: LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI, ASSISTNURSE-PC (both were Win10 19045). User upgraded 3 machines Home->Pro; 2 still need 25H2.
- All 3 joined laptops show
isManaged=null— auto-MDM-enroll did NOT fire (MDM user scope likely not = All, and devices were only logged into with local accounts so the enroll retry has no Entra user context). DECISION: defer Intune/MDM decision until all devices are on Win11 25H2. Intune is OPTIONAL — the allow-list is tag-based and works on Entra-join alone; Intune only needed for printer-push / Windows compliance policy. - NURSESTATION-PC confirmed as a permanent caregiver/medtech device. It is domain-joined, so it needs Hybrid Entra Join (Entra Connect device-options config on CS-SERVER) before it can be tagged — the only device on the hybrid track. Full caregiver device set = phones + Laptop2 + LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI + LAPTOP-DRQ5L558 + LAPTOP-E0STJJE8 + ASSISTNURSE-PC + NURSESTATION-PC (6 machines + phones).
User-to-computer map (resolved a prior gap)
Built the Cascades user<->computer map. Authoritative source = Syncro kabuto_information.last_user (GuruRMM does not expose logged-in user). Key mappings: DuPras=ALASSIST-PC, Lois Lane=DESKTOP-KQSL232, Karen Rossini=DESKTOP-LPOPV30, shared medtech=ASSISTNURSE-PC (mc medtechs and care), shared MemCare reception=MEMRECEPT-PC, the 4 caregiver laptops show generic \User. CONTEXT.md GuruRMM roster is stale (27->32 agents) — refresh pending.
Classifications (restricted = inside-only / SG-Caregivers; privileged = outside access)
- Privileged/outside (NOT in SG-Caregivers; ALIS via SSO + offsite MFA): Lois Lane, Karen Rossini (done), Christina DuPras. Nurses ruled OUTSIDE per user. All have Entra accounts.
- Restricted/inside: the 38 SG-Caregivers + Veronica Feller (caretaker, moving depts later; inventory shows her remote/PA — confirm on-site before locking) + Christine Nyanzunda (MC admin asst + PT medtech; uses ASSISTNURSE-PC). Nyanzunda has an M365 account but with a directory surname typo "Nyanzuda" to fix; her UPN
christine.nyanzunda@cascadestucson.com. - Zachary Nelson removed from caregiver consideration — accounting, no ALIS (his ALIS "Caregiver" role is noise).
- Still pending classification: Judith Palmer, Patricia Sandoval-Beck, Joey Ty, Alejandra Vallejo, Celia Lassey.
- MEMRECEPT-PC excluded from the caregiver allow-list (receptionist-only; user verifying). Outside users access from home/personal devices — managed laptops/desktops stay onsite, so no device management needed for privileged outside access.
Phasing decision
Per-user go-live gate = ALIS email-match + a test sign-in, done one caregiver at a time as the ALIS sweep proceeds. The CA restriction is already applied to all 38 (in SG-Caregivers, policies enabled). The allow-list cutover is LOW-RISK and can be all-at-once: verified there is no gap (only CSC- phones are compliant today, and the allow-list also permits them), so flipping the allow-list ADDS laptop access without removing phone access — nobody on a phone gets locked out.
Deliverable: caregiver ALIS email-match worklist
Wrote clients/cascades-tucson/reports/2026-06-04-caregiver-alis-sso-worklist.md — 40 restricted users (38 + Feller + Nyanzunda) with required ALIS Email = UPN, grouped: 26 clean matches, 4 name-variants (Sika/Esperance/Higdon/Huerta), 8 with no ALIS record, 2 new adds.
App shortcuts (in progress)
Built a PowerShell script to drop ALIS/LinkRx/HelpAny shortcuts on the Public Desktop, launched in Edge --app mode (kiosk-like, preserves SSO device-claim). URLs: ALIS https://cascadestucson.alisonline.com, LinkRx https://pharmcare.linkrxnow.com/, HelpAny https://app.safe-living.com/login. Intune web-link apps only store the Managed Google Play wrapper URL, so the real LinkRx/HelpAny URLs came from the user. Deployment via GuruRMM offered (awaiting go-ahead); targets are the 6 caregiver machines.
Username-only login question
Answered: Entra/Microsoft sign-in (and ALIS SSO) REQUIRES the full UPN — no tenant setting allows a bare username for cloud accounts. Reduce typing instead via Windows Hello PIN on the laptops + silent ALIS SSO once signed in, and pursue ALIS Login PINs (Medtelligent limited-release). NURSESTATION-PC (domain-joined) Windows login can be short, but ALIS SSO behind it still uses the full UPN.
Pending (this update)
- Finish Win11 25H2 on LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI + ASSISTNURSE-PC -> Entra-join -> tag.
- NURSESTATION-PC Hybrid Entra Join.
- ALIS email-match sweep (worklist file) — the day-1 gate for phones.
- Deploy app-shortcut script via GuruRMM to the 6 caregiver machines (awaiting go-ahead).
- Classify last 5 straddlers; confirm Feller on-site; fix Nyanzunda surname typo.
- Add Feller + Nyanzunda to SG-Caregivers after their devices ready.
- Cutover (enable allow-list + disable compliance block); reclaim devices@ license.
- Windows Hello PIN plan for laptops; ALIS Login PINs support ask.
