Syncro customer 152567 (ticket history + contact record)
GuruRMM onboarding 2026-06-29 (client + site "Main", BRIGHT-RIVER-8998)

Michael Johnson (Law Office)

Profile

  • Business type: Solo legal practice (Tucson, AZ) — inferred from the paralegal workstation, WordPerfect + "Seabill" legal-billing software, and the recurring shared-file / Outlook-calendar-sync work between Michael's and Crystal's machines. Not formally stated in Syncro (no business_name on the record).
  • Syncro Customer ID: 152567 (customer record created 2013-12-04 — long-standing client)
  • Billing model: Break-fix / time-and-materials. No prepaid block (prepay_hours = 0.0, live 2026-06-29). History is overwhelmingly emergency / onsite / remote one-off tickets.
  • Address: 177 N Church, Tucson, AZ 85701
  • GuruRMM onboarded: 2026-06-29 (Howard) — client + site "Main"; both workstations enrolled same day.
  • Onboarding grade: DESKTOP-GG4LKSL = AMBER; MJ-PARALEGAL = RED.

Contacts

Name Role Email / Phone Notes
Michael Johnson Owner / attorney michaeljohnson311@gmail.com / 520-622-0065 Primary Syncro contact; uses DESKTOP-GG4LKSL
Crystal (Krystal) Paralegal / assistant (no email on file) / 520-906-4672 Uses MJ-PARALEGAL; most day-to-day tickets are hers

Email is on Gmail / Google Workspace (consumer/Workspace — not M365). Several past tickets involve Google account storage/payment and Outlook talking to the Google calendar; mail is not hosted or managed by ACG M365 tooling.

Infrastructure

Network

  • Topology: Workgroup, peer-to-peer (no on-prem AD, no domain join). Both machines report PartOfDomain=False / Domain=WORKGROUP.
  • LAN subnet: 192.168.1.0/24.
  • Shared files are served peer-to-peer between the two workstations (consistent with the long history of "can't access shared files" tickets) — exact share host/path not yet mapped.

Onboarding Findings (2026-06-29 baselines)

MJ-PARALEGAL — RED (2 critical / 4 warning)

  • [CRITICAL] Firewall OFF on Private + Public profiles (Domain=True only). Exposed to inbound / lateral attacks on the local network. Re-enable all profiles.
  • [CRITICAL] E: drive 0% free (0 GB of 255.6 GB). Risk of failed updates, crashes, corruption. Find what is filling it (likely data / scanned docs) and clean up or expand urgently.
  • [WARNING] BitLocker off on C: · 2 pending Windows updates · 1 unexpected shutdown in last 14 days · 6 auto-start services stopped (Asus/Lenovo/Google updaters + Intel TPM provisioning — mostly benign, but note Lenovo and Asus services on the same box suggests image/hardware churn).
  • DNS server set to 172.16.132.1 on a 192.168.1.x LAN — anomalous (looks like a stale/foreign resolver, possibly a leftover VPN/management DNS). Verify and correct to the local gateway/ISP DNS.
  • Local admins: Administrator, localadmin, Paralegal.

DESKTOP-GG4LKSL — AMBER (0 critical / 5 warning)

  • [WARNING] BitLocker off on C: · 4 pending Windows updates · D: 14.6% free (68.1 GB of 465.8 GB) · 1 unexpected shutdown in last 14 days · 3 auto-start services stopped (Google updaters + Intel TPM).
  • Note: C: is the large/healthy volume (690 GB free of 930 GB); D: is the low one — confirm which volume holds working data before cleanup.
  • Windows Time source is time1.aliyun.com (Alibaba NTP) — unusual; reset to a standard pool (time.windows.com / pool.ntp.org).
  • Local admins: Administrator, Localadmin, owner.

Common to both

  • No BitLocker (workgroup, no escrow target — would need manual key storage / vault).
  • No backup agent on either machine — no backup coverage confirmed. For a law office this is the biggest gap; confirm whether anything (cloud sync, manual) protects the working files.
  • Defender-only AV, firewall (GG4LKSL all-on / PARALEGAL needs fixing), SMBv1 off — baseline security otherwise reasonable.
  • ACG remote tooling present and expected: ScreenConnect on both; Splashtop + Syncro agent additionally on MJ-PARALEGAL. No competitor/foreign RMM agents detected.

Syncro

  • Customer: Michael Johnson, id 152567 (since 2013-12-04). Break-fix, no prepaid block.
  • Open ticket: #32477 — Onsite - Check machine connections and printers. (New)
  • Recent relevant: #31768 Recovered Paralegal Machine and Win11 Upgrade (Invoiced) — origin of the current MJ-PARALEGAL build; #32329 Calendar issues (Resolved).
  • Recurring ticket themes across ~50 tickets: printer setup/offline errors, Outlook<->Google calendar sync between Michael & Crystal, "can't access shared files", mice failing after power outages, WordPerfect/Seabill hangs, new-machine builds.

Patterns & Known Issues

  • Two-person peer-to-peer office. Everything is workgroup + shared files between Michael's and Crystal's PCs. Shared-file and calendar-sync breakage is the single most common call — there is no server, so a machine being down/offline breaks the other's access.
  • Mail is Google, not M365. Do not reach for the ComputerGuru M365 remediation suite here — Outlook is configured against a Google account. Google storage/billing has caused outages historically.
  • Power-outage sensitivity. Multiple "mouse/peripheral dead after a power outage" and "machines went down" tickets — no UPS protection documented; a UPS on each machine would cut repeat emergency calls.
  • Backups unverified. No backup agent on either workstation. For a legal practice's working files this is the top risk to close.
  • MJ-PARALEGAL E: full + firewall off are the two immediate must-fix items from onboarding.

Active Work / Open Items

P1 Re-enable firewall (Private + Public) on MJ-PARALEGAL Howard CRITICAL onboarding finding
P1 Clear/expand E: on MJ-PARALEGAL (0% free) Howard CRITICAL; identify what's filling 255 GB
P1 Establish/confirm backup coverage for both PCs Howard/Mike No backup agent on either; law-office data
P2 Fix anomalous DNS (172.16.132.1) on MJ-PARALEGAL Howard Should be local gateway / ISP DNS
P2 Onsite #32477 — check machine connections + printers Howard Open Syncro ticket
P2 Install pending Windows updates (4 on GG4LKSL, 2 on PARALEGAL) Howard Next maintenance window
P3 Free space on GG4LKSL D: (14.6%) Howard Confirm which volume holds data first
P3 Reset GG4LKSL time source off Alibaba NTP Howard Use standard NTP pool
P3 Evaluate UPS for both machines Mike Repeat post-outage peripheral failures
P3 Consider BitLocker (with key escrow) Howard Both unencrypted; workgroup needs manual key storage
