If you have a time sensitive question I'd recommend just emailing certification-team@redhat.com. It seems they've given up on monitoring this thread... I got sort of an answer re: the Error 36, not sure if I am allowed to post it here.

Hi 

I have the EX200 Certification Exam soon. it is Remote, and I was sent an iso image I need to burn to a USB Drive and boot with it for the exam. I was told to download and use the Fedora Media Writer to burn the iso image. I did burn the image and, according to Fedora Media Writer, it went fine. But I can't boot with the USB Drive. When I reboot my laptop, the option to boot from my USB Drive shows up, I select it, but nothing happens, everytime I select it, it immediately comes back to the Menu of bootable media prompting me to choose one. Please advise. I've tried with several other USB Drives with same results.

thanks in Advance

If it can't boot, you may want to try to mount the USB drive to see if there is even a file system. Otherwise, try using the dd command method instead of the media writer to write the image into the USB drive.

Hi @Lisette ,

You might also want to try using the older image version, which is secure boot compliant.

I made the bootable USB using the given iso file but when I go to boot it, it doesn't work. It get a black scrren with "grub>" on it. Would like some help on this. Have my exam tomorrow.

Hi @snz_mohammed ,

Exiting the grub window usually helps and it should take you to the login screen. If you still have problems, please reach out to remote exam support chat for immediate assistance.

Hello everyone,

I scheduled Red Hat Certified System Administrator exam remotely for 18:45, this month from Houston,TX.

What is the corresponding time for America/Chicago, knowing that Chicago and Houston have the same time?

I did some research, just want to clear my mind!

Much appreciated

 Best Regards,

Hey Shavona7,

Look for this .pdf " tr-remote-exams-preparation-ebook-f27382-202103-en_1.pdf " on the net, in fact it does contains instructions how to download the bootable live USB based on your system.

Hope that helps!

Hi there!

I'll be taking the AD248 Exam soon and I was wondering if a built-in webcam will be enough or I'm forced to buy a webcam from Amazon or similar. If that happens to be the case, does anybody have any suggestion for a good webcam?

Thank you in advance!
