We’re running custom scripts across all our Windows laptops using Hexnode, which works fine execution-wise. The challenge starts after that.
When we need to check the script output, we have to open each device individually. That’s manageable for a handful of devices, but with 200+ laptops, it quickly turns into a full-time job.
Has anyone found a practical way to review outputs at scale, or is this just how it works today?

Yeah, you’re not alone. From what I’ve seen, Hexnode tracks execution status well you can export action history and confirm whether scripts ran successfully or failed.
But when it comes to the actual output, it’s tied to the device context. Since scripts can return very different outputs per machine, there isn’t really a single “one-size-fits-all” view that makes sense without losing detail.
We usually rely on status reports first and only drill into device-level output if something looks off.
Same experience here. Centralizing raw script output sounds great on paper, but in practice it gets messy fast different OS states, different return values, different errors.
What’s worked for us is designing scripts to log results locally or send them to a server endpoint if we need aggregation. Hexnode handles the deployment and execution part reliably, and we treat output collection as a separate layer when scale is involved.
Not perfect, but it keeps things manageable without drowning in device-by-device checks.
