Restrict printer sharing

Hi everyone, we’re trying to restrict printer sharing on our macOS devices. Our concern is that employees shouldn’t be able to share printers with other devices on the network. Most of our users have local administrator rights on their Macs, so we’re unsure if this restriction can still be enforced through Hexnode UEM. Has anyone handled this before?

Managed Macs not appearing in AirDrop discovery

Hi all, I’m hitting a wall with our managed macOS fleet. We use Hexnode to manage about 50 MacBook Pros. I’ve confirmed that AirDrop is enabled in the Advanced Restrictions section of our policy, but for some reason, these Macs cannot receive files. My users can send files from their managed Macs to unmanaged devices perfectly fine, but the managed Macs never show up as an available…

Releasing a device from ABM doesn’t always mean the same thing

Releasing a device from Apple Business Manager sounds simple, but the outcome isn’t. We noticed two very different behaviors depending on how the device was originally enrolled. Trying to understand where the line actually is.

macOS Updates not being deployed

Hey people, I’m trying to force install updates on some Macs. I’d used a policy for this with the update settings set to Download and Install and manually triggered the updates. But the devices remained on the current version, which is weird as in the Action history as I see the action status as Initiated. Anyone got any thoughts on how to fix this issue?

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?
