A Connection Attempt Failed - wightsupport - 19-01-2016
When SIMS is unable to push out an update or a new install and the error "a connection attempt failed it is generally caused by the windows firewall blocking the update.
In most schools this is overridden by Group Policy and a simple reboot will generally fix it. If not, unblock the domain firewall as a temporary fix.
