Enabling Windows Auto-Lock

I want my Windows devices to lock automatically after some idle time, but I don’t want them to switch to screensaver or sleep mode. Can this be configured from the Hexnode portal?

Unable to Enroll Windows Device – Login Fails Even with Correct Credentials

I’m trying to enroll a Windows device using the Hexnode installer, but I keep getting a login failure. I’m entering the same credentials I use to log in to the Hexnode dashboard, and they’re definitely correct. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Query on restricting email domain on windows devices

Hi guys!! I have a query or so. We’re managing Windows devices with Hexnode, and our company uses Google Workspace. The requirement is that end users should only be able to log in with their @company.com accounts in Gmail/Google apps, but they should not be able to log in with personal @gmail.com accounts. Can Hexnode enforce this,…

Issues while applying restrictions policy on Windows Devices

Hi everyone, Last day I encountered an issue on three of my Windows devices. I was trying to apply the restrictions policy, but it didn’t seem to take effect on any of them. Has anyone else faced something similar or know what could be causing this?

Is patch management through local server possible?

Hey everyone, I’m hitting a wall with our bandwidth. We’ve got a bunch of Windows 11 endpoints across five branch offices. Every 'Patch Tuesday,' our WAN links just crawl because every single machine tries to pull a 4GB Cumulative Update from Microsoft at the same time. I’m using an MDM solution to manage them, and I’m wondering: Is there a way to push a script or a policy…

Re-enable Hexnode Service on Windows?

Hey everyone! Quick question about Hexnode on Windows—if an end user somehow disables the Hexnode service on a device, can it be re-enabled automatically, or does it have to be turned back on manually?

Hello, I have added a URL to a web-app kiosk using Edge browser on a smart screen device that uses Windows. The URL is a sign-on page for one of the applications we use, but howsoever I try, the on-screen keyboard seems to not pop-up at all. Is there any way to make it appear?

Installation of Adobe Acrobat DC

Hi guys, I manage multiple Windows devices and recently tried installing Adobe Acrobat via the Hexnode App Store, which worked successfully. However, when I attempted to deploy Adobe Acrobat DC, the installation failed repeatedly. This made me wonder, does Hexnode support deploying specific Adobe versions like Acrobat 2024, Acrobat 2020, or Acrobat Reader 2020, beyond…

Can we hide Wi-Fi network SSIDs using Hexnode?

Hey everyone, I wanted to hide some of the open Wi-Fi network SSIDs from the list of available networks for the Windows devices in my organization, to prevent the employees from trying to connect to it to access organizational information through such vulnerable networks. These Wi-Fi networks are for guest use only. Is there any Hexnode feature that can do this hiding?

Viewing output from Windows custom scripts in any way to centralize it?

We’re running custom scripts across all our Windows laptops using Hexnode, which works fine execution-wise. The challenge starts after that. When we need to check the script output, we have to open each device individually. That’s manageable for a handful of devices, but with 200+ laptops, it quickly turns into a full-time job. Has anyone…

I cannot enter sign in to my device using Google Workspace credentials when using Hexnode Access

Hey everyone, I recently discovered that we could use the Google Workspace credentials to sign in to a Windows device locally using Hexnode Access. I purchased the Secure LDAP service for my Google Workspace account, set up the LDAP client, and added the LDAP certificate for the configured client in Hexnode to enable authentication for the users in my organization when they sign in to their devices using their…

Error in finding Windows endpoints with auto discovery

Hey everyone, I recently tried to enroll one of the Windows devices in my organization from the Access Work or School from the device settings, but it shows that “We couldn't auto-discover a management endpoint” after entering the work email address. The authenticated enrollment request was even generated from my Hexnode portal. Still no luck, can anyone help me?

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.

Windows Firewall policies

As an admin user, I'd like the ability to control Windows firewall settings by policy instead of through scripts so that we can automate and standardize our firewall settings.

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

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.
