Wallpaper reverting on Mac even after removing policy

Hi all, We’re seeing an issue with a wallpaper policy on a MacBook Pro (MacBookPro18,3). Even after removing the wallpaper policy from the device, the wallpaper keeps reverting back whenever the user signs in or restarts the Mac. The policy doesn’t appear to be assigned anymore, but the wallpaper is still being enforced. Has anyone…

Android devices showing offline due to certificate error?

Hi Team,  We’re facing an issue where multiple Android devices are showing offline in Hexnode, even though they have a stable internet connection. Because of this, policies are not getting associated with the devices. On one affected device, the Hexnode app displays a certificate error. Upon further checking, we noticed a date and time mismatch. The device system date/time is…

What should be done if an iOS device with Hexnode policy is stolen?

Hi team,  One of our iOS devices has unfortunately been stolen. It had a Hexnode policy applied, and the last check-in was about two hours ago. I can see that the Modify Acc option is restricted, so at least the thief can’t change the iCloud account.  I’m wondering whats the best next steps are here. How do I track the device or…

PDF Access Issue in Kiosk Mode

Hi everyone, we’re using Android devices in kiosk mode through Hexnode UEM. Recently, we noticed that PDF files stopped opening on these devices. Whenever users try to open a PDF, they get an “access denied” message. This is affecting our daily work.  There is a PDF reader installed on the device, and I believe it’s part of the kiosk policy, but I’m not sure how it was added. I’m also unable to share many…

APNS Certificate renewal

Hey everyone,  I just got a notification that our APNs certificate is about to expire. I’m a bit unsure about the exact renewal process. Do I need to generate a new certificate from scratch, or is there a way to just renew the existing one? Also, how do I make sure I’m matching the right certificate in the Hexnode portal…

Why Use Windows Shared PC Mode for Shared Devices?

We manage Windows devices that are used by many different users every day—training labs, call centers, and shared office systems. Over time, these devices slow down, run out of storage, and sometimes retain data from previous users.  Instead of going deep into configuration details, can someone explain why Windows Shared PC mode is useful and when it actually makes…

WiFi connectivity issues on iOS

Hi people, I keep running into this issue and I’m not really sure what’s causing it. There are no Wi-Fi policies set on the device. Sometimes the Wi-Fi just disconnects on its own, and when I check, there are no SSIDs showing at all. It looks like Wi-Fi is on, but nothing appears. The only…

More control for Rooted Android Devices .... Coming Soon

We’re working on a new remote action in Hexnode UEM for rooted Android devices: Enable Device Owner. Device Owner mode gives full, system-level control of an Android device to the UEM solution. It allows admins to enforce policies, manage apps silently, restrict hardware features, and lock devices into dedicated workflows ideal for corporate-owned or single-purpose…

Add ability to update or create apps with manifest paths

Hey team,   We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don't allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don't offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution.   Due to this restriction, it…

View policy version history

Policies are aware of their version but it's not possible to compare two different versions to understand what was changed. Please add a support to compare two versions of a policy and compare two policies for differences.

Update option in HexNode UEM App Catalog software

It would be nice if there was a button that could be clicked in the App Catalog that would allow you to update the software. I spoke with support today and their recommendation was…
