Is it possible to automate the Clear Password action in Hexnode UEM?Solved

Thanks for raising this question. Yes, Hexnode UEM does provide an option to automate the Clear Password action through its Automate module. Here’s how it works in a structured way: 

In our organization, when an employee is offboarded, HR assigns an Asset Tag “01” to the employee’s device in the Hexnode portal, which automatically moves the device into a pre-configured Offboarding Dynamic Group filtered by that asset tag.  

Once the device lands in this group, a Clear Password automation tied to it kicks in  set to a time-based trigger that repeats on a schedule every 1 hour, ensuring that the device password is continuously cleared at regular intervals. Additionally, a Password Policy is associated with this dynamic group, so that once the existing password is cleared, the device is immediately prompted to set a new password that complies with the organization’s security standards. 

Hey man, as an IT admin, it used to take me forever to manually clear device passwords during maintenance windows. We now start by categorizing devices into distinct groups based on their respective departments, ensuring that our maintenance tasks are perfectly targeted. Once these groups are organized, we utilize the Automation tab to configure a “Clear Password” remote action and set a monthly trigger that allows us to specify the exact month-based intervals for the task to recur. After linking this scheduled automation to the predefined device groups so the action executes systematically, we ensure that once the maintenance window concludes, the group is associated with a specific password policy; this prompts users to set a new, secure password immediately, keeping our security cycle seamless and automated.
