After downloading the rhrexboot.iso, the md5sum does not match the documented 0dd72ac558fc1afbf0c0e1fa4b366f10. I tried the download several times.
Using dd to write it to an 32 GB USB stick, does not give a bootable device with Secure Boot enabled.
Should I disable Secure Boot?
The checksum in the PDF is not valid. The correct one is:
478157b7675223468d83253a241a1fd5
Yes, Secure boot has to be disabled in order to boot this ISO
We are not permitted to have external disk on our work laptops - please advise if we can just use an allocated folder in the c drive for this requirement?
Hi,
work laptops have restrictions and you may not be abe to boot to Exam environment successfully. It is advisable to use your personal laptop for Exam. It is mandatory to have an external USB drive (2.0 or higher with at least 8 GB capacity) to select as boot option and load to Exam environment.
Hi Anitha I have a Chromebook - will that suffice? I notice there is no O/S requirement just hardware requirements for the exam.
All desktop or tower computers used for remote exams must sit either on top of the desk being used or in a place that allows a full 360 degree scan of the computer.
Hi Nikky
Some Chromebooks may comply with the RH Remote exam requirements. Some do not.
ARM CPU is not supported. Forcing the Chromebook to boot from the USB thumb drive is not so easy. If I am not mistaken, it requires you to access developer mode and make some changes in the command line, maybe change the firmware. Also, you need to cope with the Secure Boot challenge, depending on the Chromebook model you have. Without the proper knowledge and skill, your Chromebook may be turned into a useless brick. Thank you for an interesting question, I am looking forward to reading more about your experience with Chromebooks. To sum my answer up, I do not recommend you use a Chromebook to take the RH Remote Exam but the decision and the risk are up to you.
Thanks for the response, i feel to do this exam , I need to invest i many things just to do it remotley, red hat should have a virtual environment that can be accessed to do the exam.
Actually, it is a virtual environment you are accessing while taking the exam. You start your computer using Fedora Live USB drive, open Firefox and it takes you to the remote Virtual environment. But is see your point. Using a Chromebook or any kind of Zero or Thin client to access the exam is not currently possible. We may suggest it to the developers.
Hi,
I would suggest you to follow the instructions to download and boot using the ISO and you can contact Remote Exam Pre readiness Team using the Live chat URL given below for assistance.

I am getting a 'Selected boot image did not authenticate' error when I try to boot from the USB image. Any idea how to get around this?
Nevermind, I was able to get past it by disabling secure boot in the BIOS. So if anyone else runs into this, it is one possible solution
