Windows 11 Home enrollment authenticates but MDM profile does not installSolved

I’m testing Hexnode enrollment on a few Windows 11 Home devices. The authentication step succeeds, but the MDM profile does not finish installing.

Is Windows 11 Home supported for full Hexnode enrollment and policy management, or do we need Windows 11 Pro for proper MDM functionality?

Hi @yasmin_farooq,

Windows 11 Home is not supported for full Hexnode MDM enrollment and management.

Although authentication may complete, Windows Home editions do not provide the required management capabilities for applying restrictions and advanced MDM policies through Hexnode. This can result in incomplete enrollment behavior, such as the MDM profile not installing successfully.

For full Windows device management with Hexnode, use Windows Pro or Windows Enterprise editions. Once the device is running a supported edition, enroll it again to complete MDM profile installation and policy deployment.

That matches what I was seeing. I just couldn’t find it clearly called out and wanted to confirm before upgrading the test devices. Thanks!
