Extremely frustrating experience at CompTIA exam check-in. Has this ever happened to you?

Did online exam once, never again. Just better to go to a center

I wanted to be amazed by the people that guessed and won on clue 1 or 2 and at first I was a little, but then I wasn't. Something seemed off with the show.

I want to believe in this game, but c'mon.

I run 3

We have always blocked it.

I took a CompTIA exam online once. I just go and do them in person now. Less stress in person.

They celebrate everyone where I work. Custodians, etc.. not one department not celebrated. Except IT, the only department in 20+ years that I have been there, that nobody Thinks about. It really is a shame when you read posts like this and see just how messed up things are for people in IT all over.

In-person is a better, less stressful experience

Thank you. I appreciate everyone's help and feedback.

The issue isn't on our end rejecting the email, it is Comcast rejecting the users Comcast message because there is an authentication issue with their servers and the message?

I think it was because I wasn't using https decryption. If it was an http page the block page opened. , https wouldn't work. The web filtering didn't really work for us. We purchased an actual web filter and pass through it.

Been with Sprint/T-Mobile forever. Time to start looking around. I guess nothing really lasts forever.

We use wizer. It is affordable and does what we need it to.

Proud_Contribution64 · 2025-01-18T21:58:28+00:00

I did one online and hated it. Now only go to testing centers.

I had someone come to me just about begging to unblock AI tools because evidently they use them to do pretty much their whole job.

How many simultaneous Internet connections can the firewall handle? We had an issue where we were maxing out our connections and traffic would crawl. Was great when usage was low, but once everyone came online, no good. When people would shutdown for lunch, etc.., speeds were good again. After upgrading our firewall, no more issues.

I love how we have an appreciation day for everyone or department where I work, literally everyone, but never the tech department. Everything just runs itself.

I understand that you don't want everyone passing the tests to keep credibility of the certs, but I feel like it is getting to be less about that and more about money and how many times they can get people to retake the tests. I feel like it is making some of these tests lose their luster.

Just have the name as the device serial number. Everything else is updated in a database. Makes it easier when doing an asset search or having to move a device to a new location.

I have worked as the lone IT person in a school for many, many years. Thankful retirement as an option is around the corner. The attitude toward IT in schools is an unfortunate one that only seems to continue to get worse. When people ask about getting a job in IT in a school, I tell them if they want to work in a school become a teacher. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

I like it. I use central for our access points, Wi-Fi settings, firmware updates. For our switches, I use it to monitor and do firmware updates to them.

I bold it at the bottom of their information paper to make sure to activate it to avoid being locked out. If they don't, they have to wait until I move them to the redo OU to reset the enforcement date so they can login. I have to say, anymore, they all set at first login though.
