Release licenses

Hi everyone, we’ve got a few Windows machines that were being used by employees who’ve now left the company. I’m trying to figure out the best way to remove them from Hexnode management. Do I need to wipe the devices completely, or is there a way to just remove them from the console without affecting other things?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some clarification on managing shared Windows devices. We have several devices used by multiple employees, and I need to apply different restrictions and configurations depending on which user is logged in.

Unable to Enroll Windows Device

We’re trying to enroll a Windows device into Hexnode, but during enrollment it throws an error saying the device is already enrolled and asks for co-management. We double-checked and there’s no other MDM configured on the device. Has anyone faced this before? How do we fix it?

Ability to choose color of device details on wallpapers

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.

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?

Ability to read and set windows Registry Keys

I would very much have the ability to set registry keys in Windows. It would also be nice if you could read a defined set of registry keys and combine it with a reporting functionality to make a device out of compliance if the keys differ from expected.
