Hi team, I did a remote wipe on a Mac, and when it comes back up, it has an activation lock. I checked Hexnode, and it shows no activation lock. I’ve tried every Apple account we have, but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?

FileVault and Hexnode: Installation and Automation Questions

Hi everyone, quick question—do we need to disable FileVault before installing Hexnode on macOS devices? Also, can Hexnode enable FileVault automatically, or do we have to do it manually?

Block SD cards While Allowing USB Drives on macOS

Hi everyone, We’re managing a set of macOS devices using Hexnode UEM. One of our requirements is to restrict the use of SD cards but still allow users to access USB flash drives. Is there any way to block only SD cards on macOS while keeping USB storage enabled?

Macbook Pro lockout issue

Hi, one of our devices (MacBook Pro) got remotely locked, and now the device shows “Try again in 25177311 minutes” when attempting to enter the PIN. The Mac likely ran out of battery after the lock command was sent. Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround?

Streamline Hexnode Access Login

As an admin user, I'd like Hexnode Access to streamline the number of login authentications when logging into a device. When using Hexnode Access currently, a user has to authenticate multiple times to get into their workstation. On macOS with FileVault enabled, it's three times: drive decryption login, local user login, Google/M365 login. This…

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

MacOS AppCatalog - Download / Install progressbar

It would be really nice to have a progress bar for the macOS App Catalog. So when i click on the desired App i can see the installation progress and also a confirmation once it is done. Just like the Managed Software Update application for Munki. Also the "installed" banner is not really appealing.

Policies/Custom Profiles for macOS & iOS Devices

Will there be changes to reflect the new profile customizations in Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur in policies? Will there be a roadmap to be able to import custom profile configurations in to a policy so that we can further lock down and customize the look and feel to the end user?
