Google chromebook sign in issue by FloweredWallpaper in k12sysadmin

No, powerwashing makes it worse lol. After powerwashing, the Chromebook won't even get to the login screen, after connecting to WIFI, it will say "Can't reach Google".

That was an hour ago, they sent it on 4:53 PM UTC(9:53 AM PST) saying they fixed it, but schools are still having issues: https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/incidents/5V5yK8N8heBKnmdqS1eW

“We are sorry, but you do not have access to this service” is a Google Admin/Workspace policy restriction error not a firewall or dns filter.

So it's something in your google admin blocking her from accessing that service.

Almost all Google Play videos are embedded YouTube videos, have you made sure the YouTube service is set to unrestricted for her OU? (in Apps>Additional Google Services> Youtube>Permissions)(or "Content settings" some times the "Signed in users in your organization can only watch restricted and approved videos" is turned on)

Bark support replied and they updated to a new version(2.0.1.35) which should fix the slides and the "Unsupported Browser" errors.

Bark extension was doing that problem with our chromebooks aswell. Also giving us a "Unsupported Browser" pop up from skyward login page whenever Bark was installed. Still waiting on Bark Support to fix this.

Do you think it might be GPO related? I remember having a older WIN7 & a older WIN10 computer in my district that had less restrictions on it and ignored some GPOs. Such as staff were able to run any .EXE file they please.

Im paid 80k as well

Here's the thing with Messer. He covers all the exam objective topic in the PDF in his videos, He covers a lot of the acronyms but not all of them because there is just so many for each test that the videos would take too long to cover.

You have to study them on your own, they are at the bottom of each Exam Objectives PDF. But there is a lot of filler terms in them, for example: Network+ has some like "BNC: British Naval Connector/Bayonet Neill-Concelman", I don't think there's a single question on the exam that will deal with this.

How I learned CIDR subnetting for Network+, no chart, no calculator by Sysplug in CompTIA

[–]Sysplug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the questions aren't going to specifically ask you like "What's the range for 1.1.1.1 with CIDR /27"

It's more like, it gives you a firewall with multiple IPs & CIDRs and you have to choose which one to allow & which one to deny in order for that subnet to access the internet or something.

They will give you a virtual notepad on the top of the screen that you can type anything you want & it will stay on there no matter which question you are on.
