My pleasure. Please share if this is still good and able to proceed.
Maybe some of the moderators can advise if this is okay to proceed :)

Hi @Walid , @Gineesh ,

Yes, the older 2020-08 iso can still be used.
We are still working on a newer image version but its taking longer to get it secure boot compliant.

Regards

I just went with an old Linux laptop, the exam specs are not high, and had a good experience with the exam interactivity.

My ex200 exam is scheduled next week, so I set up my computer. I used "FedoraMediaWriter-win32-latest" write "rhrexboot.iso" to my usb, but it doesn't work. but if I write "rhrexboot-2020-08.iso" to my usb, it works. so could I still use "rhrexboot-2020-08.iso" for the exam?

Hello @sam1974 

The old ISO "rhrexboot-2020-08.iso" will be discontinued soon, however, you could use it since your exam is scheduled for next week as we haven't heard any update so far.

NOTE : In this version of ISO , the USB stick must remain connected to the system

Dear Keerthy

thank you vey much, my exam is schedule 21 june 2023. hope it still work

Since 90% of the people complaining about the new ISO, do we have any update from the Exam team to fix the issue with new ISO which can work on those machines with security locks as well?

personally, the new ISO never worked (tried 4 different PCs) for me and always used the old 2020 ISO for the last 7 exams.

Hi Gineesh. The fix is easy. Just disable your "security locks", as described in the manual. Any candidate can do it. as it comes to compatibility issues, the updated version of the ISO should be out soon.
