I tried to enforce encryption on my Linux devices using a script through Hexnode UEM, but it didn’t work. How can I do this?

As far as I know, Hexnode UEM manages encryption for Windows and macOS with BitLocker and FileVault. I’m not sure about Linux though, maybe that’s why your script didn’t work.

Hello everyone.
At present, Hexnode UEM does not support initiating encryption on Linux devices. However, you can still monitor the encryption status. To do this, go to the Manage tab, select your Linux device, then navigate to Device info > Security Info > Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS). This section will show you whether LUKS is enabled or disabled on the device.

Got it. Is it possible to enforce BitLocker and FileVault through scripts?

Yes, you can enforce BitLocker and FileVault using the Execute Custom Script action in Hexnode UEM. This allows you to deploy scripts to devices and initiate encryption remotely. For ready‑to‑use scripts and detailed instructions, you can refer to the help documents attached below:
