And five years later nothing has changed.

The lessons are stll shown in the order they were downloaded, not the order they need to be viewed. In order to D/L the lessons you have to start watching them for a few seconds, which mean they are marked as watched.

Be sure to submit this request using the Support Chat feature on the site so that it gets officially logged. It seems that we are starting to get more and more requests for Aruba...currently, it is not on our build plan for 2024.

Hopefully in the future we could (at least) provide training for the Aruba Certified Network Technician (ACNT) https://www.arubanetworks.com/support-services/training-services/certified-network-technician/

Hi @Mike-Berry!

Exciting that you get to start on this journey! @wes-bryan has brought up a lot of what I would say. Pick a hypervisor, get some ISO's and get started poking around. I have recently started my journey with creating a Home Lab as well and I am documenting everything in this ITPro TV forum post right now (with plans to through them onto a Google Site using my personal Google Workspace domain):

I just finished Episode 2 where I go through installing a VM using Proxmox. I try my best to explain my rationale with whatever choices I make and go through my troubleshooting steps when I run into issues.

For backup software I can recommend Veeam for Home for your learning. Veeam is a backup solution that is used by a good chunk of Enterprises in the wild and could very well be a good solution for your NfP, depending on pricing of course.

I would also like to advise you that if you have questions on a server technology to check out the Server+ videos on the ITPro Platform. Wes and Ronnie do an amazing job with that series and they helped me pass my Server+ exam back in October 2023. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions here on the forum! I'm trying to be active here and would be more than happy to give my expertise, or at the very least, my Google-Fu skills for any question you may have.

Good luck with your journey, and, most importantly, have fun!

For lab work - I would recommend that you check out the Sandbox labs that are available at Cisco DevNet. These are amazing. There are also learning labs at Cisco DevNet. All of these resources are free! You just need a free Cisco or Google account.

Hi All,

I was wondering if there was anyone who had any ideas on this one, please?

Thanks

Yes, thank you Angie. The issue is resolved. Cheers.

Is there any update on this ?
I have to keep a spreadsheet to track this, but would be nice to have it in platform.

Thank you

Hello Daniel, your 2-cents suggestions are very good. The home lab/network is something have crossed my mind and I will put into place. The free lance ... (thinking) ..someone in the past suggested me to do ....

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Anthony! Thank you for the information. I appreciate your help.

@Seth-Duffy

Hello, thanks for the reply Seth. I just logged in today, and it appears all of the Labs and Modules are back to normal.

The bug appears to have been fixed. Thanks for addressing this issue!

Right now I'm in a non-IT-based role at a large healthcare company in a contractor/temp situation (pays the bills) while I look to get back into IT.

One thing I do like about the job I have now is that, while I am working, I can watch unlimited IT Pro TV videos and continue learning, but I am continuing to apply to positions in the meantime. I'm guaranteed a paycheck through the end of 2024, so I am using this time to study and get my networking cert so I can get into the field.

I'm happy to be a part of this community. Some really cool people here, including the edutainers...

Not sure if this is what you want, but I found this on Google: https://datatofish.com/one-python-script-from-another/

Thank you for the Eras t-shirt! Stinks I couldn't participate in the giveaway, since my YouTube feed did not include the live stream. Next year for sure!

@Andrew-Turner thank you for informing us and sorry for the inconvenience. Can you submit a support ticket to support@acilearning.com. I can report this internally.

Hey @David-Thompson thank you for the heads up and sorry for the inconvenience. Can you submit a support ticket to support@acilearning.com. We will report this.

Hey @kevin-mitchell

Thank you so much for the tip about those knock-offs! I did a little google searching and quickly found a tutorial about uploading bootloaders to to your arduino boards for anyone out there that needs that info.

Cheers!

For those interested in @Andrew-Despres 's build, please follow and comment in the following thread!

Hey @Tarpan-Shah

Ronnie is spot on! The good news is that by building your own lab and making it vulnerable, you will have a TON of hands-on experience with deploying Windows Desktops, Servers, Active Directory, and probably a bunch of other MS technologies like IIS, Group Policy, WSUS, and MSSQL. This is the ideal route! You'll learn what causes vulnerabilities as well as how to pentest for them.

All that said, creating users, groups, and other AD objects can be a bit time consuming, so check out this script which will auto-create those object for you.

I hope that helps you out.

Cheers,

If you're looking to put together a resume for a career in infosec/cybersecurity, a really good reference is Lesley Carhart's YouTube channel. She has an "Infosec resume no-no's" video that is filled with great tips. Check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOA3-vP1JLw

@Forrest-Stivers-II,
Security is easy to implement but harder to explain. In the enterprise, most places will block you from accessing what policy has stated as "unsafe links". or has implemented a proxy etc. This abstracts security so the user just does what he/she does. They have a plan for when the computer gets infected for remediation. End User Awareness training cannot be too difficult or most people will not even try.
