Hi everyone,

I have a Windows Server 2016 VM running on a Hyper-V host, and on this VM I already have the latest UniFi Network Application (controller) installed and fully working.

I’m now trying to upgrade/install the new UniFi OS Server on the same machine, but I’m running into an issue where the installer fails due to WSL not being available/supported on this system.

My main concern is that I want to move to UniFi OS Server without losing any existing controller data, sites, or device configurations.

Has anyone successfully done this upgrade path on Windows Server 2016 (or a similar setup)?

• Is there any supported or working way to install WSL on Server 2016 to make this work?
• Or is the only real option to migrate the UniFi Network Application data to a different OS (like Windows Server 2022 or Linux) and then restore it there? (This would be my last option, but I’d prefer to keep it working on Windows Server 2016 if possible)

Any advice or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with BioTime 8.5 and hoping someone has run into this before.

I have two areas configured: Area1 and Area2, and I’m trying to move some employees from Area1 to Area2.

Here’s what I already tried:

• Edited employee details and changed their area to Area2
• Used Area Personnel Transfer
• Performed synchronization to device after changes
• Re-synced multiple times and verified the transfer appears to complete

Problem is, in BioTime the employees still show under Area1 instead of Area2, even though they should have moved.

It feels like the change is not fully applying in the software database or maybe the device is pushing old data back, but I’m not sure.

Has anyone experienced this with BioTime 8.5? Is there a cache, sync order, database refresh, or another step I might be missing to make the area change stick?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
