Yes, of the disk with ID 0.

Post the DiskConfiguration section of your existing answer file. You should have a few lines that include 0 true

I've only seen this happen when the Auto Download option was ticked - there are a few of them. In the Solus DS... Settings >> Updates Section >> Auto download (unticked) Settings >> Deployments Section >> Agents >> Auto download (unticked) Naturally, all the Auto Deploy boxes are unticked. Is that how yours looks?

Could you see if there is another connect.ini lurking in the user's Appdata folder - do a search from the command line, or file explorer. If you find one, delete that bad boy!

Can you whitelist these urls, only for the source IP of the NAS? *.synology.com *.synologydownload.com

Okay, sounds like a better solution is on the way. In the meantime, some possible troubleshooting ideas (aka rabbit holes) - try to separately wipe the existing disk then try the installation again - any screenshots/photos of the step just before it fails, then when it fails - try a different disk inside the S8 - does it give you an error code?? any access to the logs at this stage?

As a test, in Rufus, try using the DD method when applying the iso.

If you're sure you've got the correct iso, mount it and maybe try specifying the index number - you can check the index with DISM DISM /get-wiminfo /wimfile:f:\sources\install.wim Then, assuming the index you want is 1, use the following code Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:F:\Sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

If you can boot the Pro into Safe mode then run your repairs from there. Otherwise, try to boot into a Pro version setup disc, then choose the Recovery option, or if not available, drop into the PE environment (Shift+F10... I think??) Here are the repair steps I would do 1. CHKDSK - repeat until it doesn't find any errors CHKDSK F: /F /X /V 2. SFC - repeat until it doesn't find any errors sfc /OFFBOOTDIR=f:\ /OFFWINDIR=f:\windows /OFFLOGFILE=log.txt Try booting again 3. DISM - I'd do this from Win PE using a mounted wim file Dism /Image:F:\ /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth assuming corruption is detected, mount the same Pro version (e.g. 19043...) and run this command Dism /Image:F:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:M:\mountedWIM\windows /LimitAccess Let us know if anything does or doesn't work.

Is it possible that you have the deploy feature turned off, with the big button in the top right corner 'Solus [OFF]' ??

+1 for RAID sata bios setting - you may need Intel RST drivers injecting. However, I'd be interested to know whether your setup has worked with RAID in the past (Dell usually have this as default) Here's a link to some info https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000055157/memory-and-storage.html If this is in fact the issue, it makes more sense to switch Sata settings to AHCI, rather than unsettle your working WDS setup. edit: link, and further comment

Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Login to the instance with SIMS. Right click on the instance name at the top of the left-hand panel. In the Memory section, the maximum should be set to 75% of the Total RAM or (Total RAM - 4GB). Also, for the SIMS database, go to the Properties windows and switch compatibility to 2012 (110) - I've tried 2016, 2014 and ended up staying on 2012 (the ESS recommended setting) What is the size of the database files (mdf and ldf) ?

I'd agree with the comments suggesting Wifi6 models. In fact, if I had to quote now for an upgrade I would consider U6-Pro, U6-LR, or U6-Lite Take a look at this article on this subject.

A brief answer based on my own upgrade a year ago in the summer. We put a nanoHD in every classroom, 22 overall. Put the firmware on 6.0.x and currently, the controller is at v5. The nanoHD's seem sufficient and we've had no real problems once we found a firmware that wasn't too buggy! Had a staff meeting in the main hall the other day with over 50 staff present, all accessing Teams and some streaming, and the hall nano coped just fine - minor delays. I'd imagine the APs you're looking at would be far more substantial than the nano's, but I'd definitely recommend putting one in each room if you can - you can tweak the power and preferences to accommodate each neighbour...

Staff, MX. Children, BX. If money isn't a driver, everyone MX, or Samsung EVO.
