Error while enrolling macOS devices

Hey, I tried enrolling one of my macOS devices into Hexnode using the portal URL, but I got this error: “Profile-driven enrollment is currently blocked by your organization. Please contact your IT admin for further assistance.” Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mac with Intel (no T2 chip), Is full device wipe possible?

Hello, We’ve been trying to perform a full wipe on some of our Intel-based Macs running Monterey, that’s around 12 and above. These are older machines without the T2 security chip. When we trigger Wipe Device from Hexnode, instead of erasing the machine completely, the device just ends up getting locked with a Find My…

Hexnode Access Policy password updation issue

Hola amigos, I’m facing an issue with the Hexnode access policy on my macOS devices. I associated the Hexnode access policy with Google Workspace as the IdP, with the authentication option being “Google workspace domains added to hexnode portal”. We have integrated our Active Directory with Google Workspace. When the password of a local user account user is changed via AD however, the new password cannot be used to login through…

Issue with deploying Dropbox PKG installer to macOS devices

Hello everyone, I recently uploaded the Dropbox PKG installer as an enterprise app to the Hexnode app repository and then tried installing it on a few Macs in my organization. For some reason, it is not being installed properly. I tried re-installing multiple times and also tried re-adding the PKG installer again to the app repository but still had no luck. Can anyone help me with this urgently?

macOS policy fail error - “User token could not be fetched”

Hey Hexnode, I’ve been trying to push a couple of policies to our macOS devices, and I’m getting the following error. “Device profile policy association is successful.

Investigating device's non-compliant status

Hey folks, one of our Macs is showing as non compliant in Hexnode portal, but I can’t figure out why. Everything seems fine, the policies are applied, FileVault’s on, the OS is up to date, and the user is actively using the device. Any ideas?

Unable to update the friendly name or device name in macOS

Hey everyone, I used the rename device action to rename a few of my macOS devices. I even checked the “update friendly name” checkbox. Not only did it not update the device name, but the friendly name is not changing as well, even though I scanned the devices to reflect the changes.

Vanta says my screen lock isn’t enabled… but it is!

We’ve set a 5-minute screen lock policy on all our macOS devices through Hexnode. It works perfectly, and devices lock themselves after inactivity just like they’re supposed to. But our Vanta compliance dashboard still insists that “Screen lock is not enabled.” Not sure what we’re missing here, has anyone run into this before?

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.
