It’s finally summer and you know what that means—CAMP! This year, you’re going to your favorite bug-free establishment. There’ll be computers and bonfires, databases and surf, security and sun. Is there any better way to spend your summer?

The best part is you can leave the mosquito spray and chemicals behind! With SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM), Server Configuration Monitor, Access Rights Manager, Identity Monitor, Patch Manager, and Network Configuration Manager, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy those warm summer nights.

Q1 Hint

ferrashoo

Found this link: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/ARM-Documents/User-Access-Management-under-control/ta-p/526722

Not sure it's the same, seems to have a hint also.

yumdarling

Thanks for letting me know - i contacted the product team to get a working link

yumdarling

Fixed

Like the summer time theme yumdarling

mjperkins

I answered the question correctly. The popup stated I answered incorrectly, then stated the correct answer was the one I provided. Is something up?

undesired_result

@mjperkins just a note, not that this was your issue, but there are two seemingly correct answers, one is more "complete" than the other. To me it is a very misleading way to conduct a quiz, but alas, who am I.

mjperkins

@undesired_resultThere's always a chance the wrong thing was accidentally registered when clicking. Working on a loaner laptop with a finicky trackpad can do that.

kevina-rejis

@mjperkins I had the same thing, selected the answer but it said it was incorrect even though it showed that as the answer (or at least part of it).

YAAAAAS two green check marks in a rowww

ecklerwr1

So far so good... security is pretty much everything these days!

alansmith

Now that I have my Thwack Dice I can roll for my answers

mcam

I've missed the last month or two, back on a roll again now

melonizame

But remember you must roll for initiative first...... And hopefully the question doesn't win....

tmumaugh

@alansmith Yo thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for these! I've just ordered, also looking at that hammock, but I think I'll wait on that one! Woo for more dice!

melonizame

i guess I am pulling OPH today because I can't find the answer for today's question. I believe I know the answer, but I just don't see it. Maybe I need more coffee? Sleep? Glasses? I hate reading into anything, because that usually gets me in trouble.

alansmith

@tmumaugh the hammock would be awesome, but I dont have a place to use it. Plus I'm sure I would fall right through it

tmumaugh

@alansmith Whoa! Now I'm double glad you mentioned this, looks like they are out of stock already!

batye

I'm missing 5000 and 2000 for two survey I did in May 2020 ???

james.heads

@batye there was so much went on in may I don't know what I've had and have not had yet haha. I think the points from vswug came in but not the surveys that I've completed but I may be wrong.

scott.zimmerman

I am missing the 5000 and 2000 for the 2 surveys as well.

xbod

I believe the answer choices for today are worded poorly. Choice 'A' includes choice 'C', and both options were mentioned. No where in the video did he mention 'B', although he did mention changing a line in a FILE, which is not the same as changing a line in a PACKAGE.

Needless to say, I got it wrong I guess due to my interpretation of the choices and not following the rule that if 'All of the above' is an option, it's usually that.

undesired_result

@xbod I had literally the exact same experience, was waiting for someone else to bring it up in case there really was a mistake in the answer key

tmumaugh

@xbod I'm going to wait on further clarification as well. Maybe @yumdarling can bring some insight?

undesired_result

@yumdarling can you please weigh in here ... looks like a misguided question as a result of a typo.

yumdarling

Thanks for pinging me and explaining the issue - I exchanged the word package with the word "file" to keep in accordance with the hint.

I also reset wrong answers so feel free to try again.

batye

@yumdarling I'm missing 5000 and 2000 for two survey I did in May 2020 ??? any idea when I should see them in the account ??? - thanks
