Taking AWS Exam online (OnVue) using computer issued by employer

If your employer-issued computer passes the Pearson VUE OnVUE system test, it should technically be usable for the exam. However, there are some important considerations when using an employer-issued computer:

1. Administrative restrictions: Employer computers often have security policies, monitoring software, or restrictions that could interfere with the exam proctoring software during the actual exam, even if the initial system test passes.

2. Background processes: Corporate computers may have background processes or automatic updates that could disrupt your exam session.

3. Privacy concerns: The exam proctoring software requires access to your webcam, microphone, and screen, which might conflict with your employer's security policies.

For the most trouble-free experience, it's generally recommended to use a personal computer if possible. If you must use your employer-issued computer, consider:

• Getting permission from your IT department
• Temporarily disabling any security software that might interfere with the exam
• Ensuring no scheduled updates or maintenance will occur during your exam time
• Logging in 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time to complete the check-in process and address any last-minute technical issues

Remember that you can begin the exam check-in process approximately 30 minutes before your scheduled exam time, not several hours in advance.
