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?

Cloned machines are being treated as the same device! Any solutions?

Hey everyone, we're trying to deploy a master Windows image to multiple Dell laptops. The issue is that after cloning, Hexnode treats all the laptops as the same device instead of creating a new device ID for each one. How can we make Hexnode assign a unique ID to every laptop?

allowlisted websites not working on windows web content filtering

Hey everyone, I’m running into something odd with Web Content Filtering on our Windows devices. I’ve got a policy with a bunch of configurations bundled together, including an allowlist for specific websites. I am seeing a discrepancy where some allowlisted sites work perfectly, but others don’t. For example, I allowlisted www.gmail.com, but when a user…

Hey folks, I’m trying to figure out how to disable the password manager in Chrome using Hexnode on my Windows devices. It’s been auto-saving credentials and I want to turn that off across devices. Any ideas?

Can’t seem to block the Perplexity Comet app on Windows devices

Hey folks, I’ve been trying to block the Perplexity Comet app through Hexnode using the usual method to add the app under the blocklist with its publisher name and all. But the app still launches without any issues. I’ve double-checked the spelling and package details, and everything seems fine. Has anyone else run into this?

Disenrolled the device but some settings are still stuck

I’m running into something odd and hoping someone here has seen this before. I just disenrolled a Windows device, and everything seemed to complete fine. But when I try running the setup package again, it refuses and says the device is already associated. Any idea what might be hanging around?

How to block AutoRun/AutoPlay on Windows?

Hey, Is there an option in Hexnode that can disable or block AutoRun/AutoPlay on Windows devices? When a user connects an external storage drive (like a USB), we’d like to prevent AutoRun/AutoPlay from launching content automatically.

Media management policy error in Windows

I’ve been trying to associate a policy for media management to secure my Windows devices. I needed to restrict the use of external media such as USBs and CDs, so I disabled the Allow use of all external media option in the media management policy. The policy applied successfully on most devices, but on a few, it failed. Has anyone else come across this?

Wipe action failing on Windows devices

Hey, I tried performing a Wipe action from Hexnode on one of our Windows devices, but it shows as “Not accepted by the device” in the Action History. I double-checked the policies, and there doesn’t seem to be any restriction/policy that could prevent the action. Any idea what might be causing this?

Preventing Windows users from changing their passwords in Entra-integrated devices

Hey everyone! Quick question! Is there any way to remove or disable the Change a password option that appears when users press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on Windows? Our setup uses Entra ID with Hexnode Access, which keeps the local account password synced with Entra. The issue is that when users change their password…

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.

We're currently trying to create a proper Windows PC onboarding mechanics. During this phase we need to have several applications installed depending on a group membership. Because of the Hexnode limitations we aren't able to properly configure auto-deployment for some applications. Those ones can be installed via ps1 script for sure, but we need to…

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?

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

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.
