How does Autopilot actually work during setup?

Hey people, we’re planning to use Windows Autopilot, but I’m not fully clear on what happens when the user first turns on the device. Does it install anything or is it just enrollment?

Autopilot modes, ESP, and pre-provisioning - when do you actually use them?

Hey everyone, I’m kind of new to device management and am seeing things like user-driven mode, self-deploying mode, ESP, and pre-provisioning being used around. But I’m not sure how to decide what to use where. Would appreciate it if someone could help me see things more clearly. Cheers.

Windows Devices losing connection! Outdated Hexnode apps?

Hi everyone, We manage a fairly large fleet of Windows laptops across our organization. Recently, I've noticed that a significant chunk of these devices are dropping off the radar and showing as not connected in the Hexnode portal. Upon physically checking a few of the affected devices, I realized that the Hexnode Service App installed…

Where can I trigger a manual password reset in Hexnode, and how do I avoid lockouts from password expiry?

Hey everyone, Where exactly can you trigger a manual password reset for Windows devices from Hexnode? I’m also trying to figure out if there’s a way to handle password expiry better. Specifically, I want to avoid any chance of users getting locked out when their passcode expires as per policy. Anyone dealt with this before?

Can Hexnode decrypt BitLocker drives remotely?

Hey folks, when employees leave the company we usually reassign their laptops. Problem is, most of them have BitLocker enabled. Is there a way Hexnode can just un‑encrypt the drives remotely so we don’t have to do it manually?

MDM Migration Issues

I recently migrated about a dozen devices from Rippling to Hexnode. Most of the headache came from the Rippling side, but now that everyone is completely in Hexnode we're experiencing issues there, too. The biggest issue is that one user's device in particular was rendered completely unusable. Screen flickering, apps crashing, and inability to control…

Trying to debug an issue — are device logs even worth it?

I’ve got a Windows device acting up (configs not applying properly, no clear errors in the portal). Was thinking of pulling logs, but not sure if that actually helps or just ends up being a dump of useless data. Anyone here actually rely on logs for this kind of thing?

Hexnode Access: Internet Required for Login on Windows Devices

Hi, I’m facing an issue with Hexnode UEM Access on our Windows devices. Users are being prompted to connect to the internet every time they try to log in. Is there a way to disable this requirement? Alternatively, can we extend the duration for how long a device can stay offline before it forces a network login?

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.

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.

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?
