The infection I'm dealing with happened from a fully-patched Win 10 Pro machine running Windows Defender and Outlook 2013 (32). It already had authenticated access to the files on the server it encrypted.

There was a Windows script file on the desktop, something like "UPS tracker.js", but it disappeared before I could grab it and a free space recovery didn't return it. (Possibly due to TRIM, it was on an SSD workstation.)
