I have had similar issues, basically SIMS works but other older modules fail. I was told by Capita that Solus3 is designed to be an update tool rather than an installation tool. I installed SIMS using the SIMSinst.exe from the setups folder on the SIMS server then Solus keeps it updated and the older modules all work. i have found Solus3 deploys SIMS fine except for users that need the additional modules. i hope this helps.

I would use the MIS Sync tool. Unfortunately it is a manual process. https://www.parentpay.com/DOCH/school-support/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Uploading-staff-and-visitors-using-MIS-Sync.pdf

We have recently moved from the the local authority. It does have a lot of positives but be aware of any services that you need access to possibly using the intranet which becomes more complicated when your not on a local authority provision. In terms of speed and everything else it’s a massive improvement.

I'm in a similar situation but I think I might have found a better option School ICT Services - MIS and SIMS Support for Schools

I am having similar issues but with Smoothwall not Lightspeed. I have spoken to Ruckus and again similar outcome standard behaviour. It has been recommended to me to use a transparent proxy which would remove the captive portal issue but this won't indentify individual users so is no good. Any advice if anyone has got it working would be great.

Yes, the domain controller will have the DNS role. If you remote onto the domain controller and access admin tools I would suspect you will find DNS in there.

If you nslookup the site you should see what is resolving the IP address. I would think it is internal DNS also.
