Can I retain eSIM configurations

Hey all, so, my organization just bought a new iPhone to replace one that had severe battery issues. We use eSIMs in our phones and the cell provider has already shifted the eSIM to the new device. If I have to enroll this new iPhone in the Hexnode portal, it should be factory reset, right? If I do that, will these eSIM configurations be gone?

What should be done if an iOS device with Hexnode policy is stolen?

Hi team,  One of our iOS devices has unfortunately been stolen. It had a Hexnode policy applied, and the last check-in was about two hours ago. I can see that the Modify Acc option is restricted, so at least the thief can’t change the iCloud account.  I’m wondering whats the best next steps are here. How do I track the device or…

WiFi connectivity issues on iOS

Hi people, I keep running into this issue and I’m not really sure what’s causing it. There are no Wi-Fi policies set on the device. Sometimes the Wi-Fi just disconnects on its own, and when I check, there are no SSIDs showing at all. It looks like Wi-Fi is on, but nothing appears. The only…

Activation lock disrupting enrollment

Hi everyone, I was enrolling an iPhone into Hexnode and suddenly got stuck with Activation Lock. It’s asking for Apple Business Manager (ABM) credentials. Has anyone faced this before?

Location Tracking Disabled on iOS Devices when Hexnode UEM App is not installed

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with location tracking on newly deployed iPhones. In the Hexnode portal, the devices show as online, but under Recent Location it says, “Location Tracking Disabled as UEM app is not installed.”  Has anyone else seen this? I just want to confirm if this is expected or if I’m missing a step during deployment.

ADE sync issue

Hey folks, I’m hitting a wall here. My DEP sync keeps failing, and the error says something about the latest Apple DEP terms not being accepted. I’m not sure if I missed something or if another admin already handled it. Anyone else run into this?

The kiosk website keeps refreshing in iPad

 Hi all, the web app kiosk configured in our iPads keeps on malfunctioning! The website we have added just keeps refreshing and losing the login tokens, so our employees keep getting signed out. Then once the website refreshes, it shows that it is blocked, even though it is added as an allowlisted URL. Is this an issue with the Hexnode Browser?

iPad keeps prompting during app installation via Hexnode

Hi everyone, we have an iPad running iOS 18.6 with a Hexnode policy applied. The policy has some apps added as Required Apps, but the device keeps showing this pop-up:  “App installation – Sign in to iTunes to allow portal.hexnodemdm.com to manage and install apps.”  This keeps happening, and it’s causing trouble for users handling iPad. We don’t want users to sign in…

DEP information and setting from the device

Policies

I think it would be extremely useful if in the criterias of Policies you could add the "Type" identifier in Hardware Info. Like this I could seperate iPhones from iPads

Select Devices within Group

I have a lot of iPads, and need to group them according to the location they are deployed. Management within the group selection is limited, and cannot select individual devices within the group. More management abilities should be available from the group instead of limiting them all to the general screen which is a mess.

Install application specific file

We use FileMaker Go on our iOS devices to access our hosted database.  In order to simplify granting users access to our hosted database and avoid having to manually enter the URL for the host on in the application on each device, we can install a file in the FileMaker Go's "Documents" folder on the iOS…
