Hexnode Access: Internet Required for Login on Windows Devices

Hi, I’m facing an issue with Hexnode UEM Access on our Windows devices. Users are being prompted to connect to the internet every time they try to log in.  Is there a way to disable this requirement? Alternatively, can we extend the duration for how long a device can stay offline before it forces a network login?

What to do with the Encrypted but Unprotected Status?

Hi everyone! We have two Windows devices showing the BitLocker status in the Hexnode portal as "Encrypted but unprotected." I found this article: “Protect Verification Key for BitLocker Encryption” suggesting we might need to modify our Windows policy to address this issue. However, we’re worried that changing the policy might mess with our other devices that are already showing as "Encrypted." We also can't figure…

Can't deploy hexnode store apps via policy

I was trying to install a couple of apps from the Hexnode Store on our Windows devices, but when I try to configure the policy, it doesn't seem to give me the option. I also tried to create an app group with these Hexnode Store apps, but I still wasn't able to.  Funny enough, when I try to install the same apps from the Hexnode Store…

Windows devices enrolling as “Default User” instead of Google Workspace authenticated user.

Hi team, we are enrolling our Windows devices using Hexnode portal. We expect the users to authenticate it using their Google credentials during enrollment, but devices are getting enrolled under default user instead.  Is there any configuration required to enable Google Authentication?

Disabling Office Macros

My company requires Office Macros are disabled. For Winodws and MacOS, this is not a built in setting in Hexnode policies. I cannot find any Powershell scripts or batch files to run and enable this setting. Can this be built in?

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

I think it would be a killer feature for managing Windows systems if you could add Group Policy Objects functionality to Hexnode MDM. It will require major work in the Windows Agent but I think this could really set you apart from the competition. Suggestion on how to implement it: Give the Hexnode admin the…
