Hey, here’s a couple things I noted from the lab,
-Tasks 1 and 2 in the Create Domain Users portion don’t say that the users need to go to a specific OU. It may be good practice to put them in the Domain Users OU, but I started by putting them in the Users container
-In the Password Management portion, it doesn’t pass you if Sofia’s account is disabled. She was a new user I made, so I created the account as disabled from the start.
Hi
Matthew Stricker
That’s correct, as you just said it. It is best practice not to use the default Users Container and to use an OU, like Domain users, as explained in the video. If you create the user in the Users container the evaluation error message will tell you something is not correct.
The second point is interesting since it doesn’t specify if you need to create a disabled user account or an enabled one. The assumption is enabled unless stated otherwise.
Thank you for your comments.
Ricardo
Task to uncheck the requirement to change the password at next login, is marked incorrect unless you also uncheck Disable Account.
Hi
Jennifer Hunter
We have updated the error message to display that the user account is disabled and needs to be enabled.
Thank you for posting.
Ricardo
There is nothing that I can do to get the correct answer for this particular question. The disable account is not checked, only the password checkbox.
Can you paste the question/task or for which user is it?
I am not positive on the question number (possibly 3), but it is for Sofia Pallab. It is required to remove the “User must change password at next logon”. When removing that, it still gives error, and there are no other checkboxes checked in the Properties — Account section. I have tried multiple combinations, but nothing seems to be accepted…of course, I could be doing something incorrect.
Check the following; If the user Sofia Pallab is under the Server Academy > Domain Users OU. Uncheck the “User must change password at next logon” and the account needs to be enabled.
I have checked and double-checked, the account is disabled check box is not checked. I have even checked it, then unchecked it, still receiving the same error…included below.
From the users properties window I see that the account is locked. Click the checkbox “unlock Account” from Sofia Pallab properties and click ok to save and try again.Not sure if it has something to do but can work.
When I submit my lab for grading, it brings me back to the same screen without any summary just the option to submit. How do I get this marked?
After submitting for grading you should see a summary with all the tasks performed in green. Did you get to that part?
Also, you can click next on the Lab page and it will mark it complete for you.
Ricardo
I performed all the tasks, and got them all correct. When I submitted for grading, I got nothing other than returned to the page to Submit for grading.
I did save my lab, but don’t know how to retrieve the saved lab. I will try again tonight and make sure there is nothing blocking my grading.
When clicking Submit as the last step of the lab, the next page will appear with just the question “Are you sure you want to submit for grading? It will display two buttons to click either Yes or No, not yet buttons. When clicking Yes it will start the grading process and you will see the results with Green for correct, and Red for wrong. Then you just close the lab Browser Tab.
I just finished the IT lab, and I have the same problem. I completed the lab twice, but it is still not marked as finished. I have also refreshed the page. I initially used Sarfai and believed that was the problem. I’m currently in Chrome, but it still won’t validate my completion.
The lab has been marked as completed.
When changing Jan Marks password, I have to manually type in the provided password because the type tap triggers the wizard to keep resetting the password.
Hi
Paul Ma
We have corrected the issue on the Type Text.

How do I retrieve my saved lab?
Hi
Jennifer Hunter
After your lab has been saved, you just come back to the lab page. Click the Open IT Lab button again, and it will resume from your previously saved lab session.

Not getting task 3 (Cory Bishop) right. Can you tell me which lecture covered it?
Hi
Cheolsoon Im
We will be reviewing the videos. In the meantime, here are the steps:
Right-click the user object (Cory Bishop) and select Properties.
Click the Member Of tab and click the Add button.
Search for Domain Admins and click OK and Ok to close the properties window.
Ricardo
Task 3 is not covered in the lecture and the steps are not working as well. When I click the Member of tab and click the Add button then the next screen pops up saying the name Cory Bishop is not found.
Hi
Olga Glen
Cory Bishop’s user must first be created as part of Task 3. You will right-click the user Properties and choose the Member Of tab click the Add button and search for the Domain Admins group.
We have let
Paul Hill know about it and we will update the video lessons.
Thank you,
Ricardo
Thanks Ricardo. All good now 👍
