Please comment below with your ideas and feedback!! Primarily:

1) What should the next lab challenge be?
2) Feedback on the current scoring system (points per task + time bonus)
3) How long should a lab challenge be? 15 min, 30 min, 60 min?​
4) Anyway to make them better that you can think of​

I just found your channel, and hands down to you my man. You teach things direct to the point. You make complicated things simple. Thumbs up.

1. Security Breach Challenge.
2. Update Corruption/Recovery Challenge.
3. Ransomware Challenge.
4. Cloud Migration?
5. Forgotten Password Challenge.

Scoring system should be based on total number of correct required changes (e.g. 5, 10, etc) and average amount of time completed + "X" number of seconds/minutes. For example, if most people take 10 minutes, add 1-2m of grace.
Missing correct changes are taken out of score. Incorrect changes don't count, unless it was submitted as-is.

Haven't tried SA yet, but certainly may try soon. Going for Net+ and Sec+ first 😁

In my opinion, Lab challenge should start from small (15 mins) test to longer period. If long test at the beginning, candidates might not be used to it and might get bored. Eventually, when they find it interesting bit by bit, test period can be made longer.

I can't find where or how to install Active Directory, or RSAT as it's apparently called now. I've done what you're SUPPOSED to do (Settings>Apps>Optional Features>Add A Feature) but Active Directory/RSAT isn't on the list, and I can't find it anywhere. The download page on the Windows site only applies to Windows 10 version 1803, and I know for a fact my version is higher than that, and just to be safe I downloaded it from that page, and sure enough it won't install because of the version incompatibility. So to sum up, I can't download it the way you're supposed to download it, and the only other way I've found to download it doesn't work either, so I'm S out of luck, there seems to be no way for me to get hands-on experience with the program.
