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.

I had this way back, but it was related to when I thought I had removed the proxy - the workstation would not 'action' the new settings until I ran a script that included calling the 'wininet.dll' Out of curiosity, does the code below make any difference on an affected PC? Without doing anything - assuming this PC is not currently able to access the internet, start and stop the WinHttpAutoProxySvc service (you can do this remotely if you prefer). net stop WinHttpAutoProxySvc && net start WinHttpAutoProxySvc

I believe any user can right-click on the WiFi SSID in the system tray list and choose (Disconnect, Properties, or Forget)

I'm also thinking you'd need to prevent airplane mode, so here are so... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/192737-solved-disabling-airplane-mode-wireless-buttons-without-bios-settings.html One last thing I just thought about is adding a scheduled task to (first check) then if needed, connect to the correct WiFi. This could be done as a script, which would include something like... netsh wlan set profileparameter name="YOUR_WIFI_SSID_GOES_HERE" connectionmode=auto netsh wlan connect name="YOUR_WIFI_SSID_GOES_HERE"

Random question, but how did you get O365 Office A1 Plus. All but one of our schools have plain A1, but one has A1 Plus and they have the option to download the 365 ProPlus. I'd like all the schools to have this but I don't see how to obtain it??

Here's another nifty tool to quickly check your filter against the standard requirements... Test Your Internet Filter | SWGfL Test Filtering No need to fill in the pre-test questions, I just choose 'School', and off we go. This tool saved my bacon at least once when I misconfigured our filter for a certain group of people.

Did you use the original drivers that came installed with the unit? What make/model is it?

Please could you detail the firmware version(s) you are using, plus the controller version? Also, could you detail (without sensitive info) the settings that you have enabled/set on your Wireless Network (block LAN-to-WAN, fast roaming, Rate limiting...) Are you using DFS channels on the 5 GHz band ? (channels 52 onwards) Are you using Band-Steering or Cell-Size Tuning at the AP level ? - I'm not 100% sure that's available on AC Pros Are you using the Wireless AI feature ?

I'm not seeing the 1801 fileset in our SOLUS. In fact, this is probably the second/third time when I've gone and fetched the fileset from a trusted SSU's website. Am I right in thinking that our own SSU should be releasing these filesets to us through SOLUS??

Something that I've just remembered because another teacher mentioned this the other day.... Pay careful attention to the brightness of the room it will be installed in. I've had two instances where the BenQ screens were installed in very bright rooms (large windows around two sides of the room), and they struggle to give a bright enough image on sunny days. This is rare but could have been avoided if I had thought more about it. I think there would be a brighter screen out there that would have coped better.

I'd say we're happy with the BenQ boards, and with just one exception, we've always bought the RM models - we didn't need the extra features. They seem robust enough to cope in Primary schools, they come with a mounting bracket, and as long as you register the S/N within 30 days of purchasing you can have a 5-year warranty - this is a bugbear of mine since I believe they should honour a warranty regardless of the 30-day registration. I've had to update the firmware on a few of them, but apart from that, they've been pretty solid. I think our buy price for a 65-inch is around £ 1,500.
