BitLocker drives locked after reboot?

When I tried to decrypt the drive, I got an error saying it’s locked and needs to be unlocked before proceeding and the action failed as well. Thing is - I’ve been using Hexnode to manage Bitlocker, and this is the first time my drives got locked like this. Normally, I can access everything right…

Stuck decrypting the C drive

I tried decrypting the C: drive using the force bitlocker decryption remote action, but it failed. Got an error saying the OS drive can't be decrypted until auto-unlock is cleared for all drives. What exactly is auto-unlock? Is it the same as locking/unlocking a drive?

Check the BitLocker decryption status

When decrypting a drive, it can be a hassle to wait for it to finish, and you don't know when the process will be completed. Is there a way to estimate how long the decryption will take?

Need to disable password manager settings Microsoft Edge

Hey everyone, I'm trying to disable the password manager in Microsoft Edge, but there’s no direct way to do this from Edge settings. We manage multiple devices, so manually configuring each one isn’t feasible. We use Hexnode UEM for device management, does anyone know if there’s a way to enforce this through Hexnode? Or are…

Hey there, We recently pushed some enterprise apps to our managed windows devices using the required apps policy. The app was in Msi format, and it installed successfully without any issues. But now, when we checked, it seems like a different version is installed. This isn’t the version we originally pushed, and we haven’t deployed…

Success Criteria for MSI and EXE

Hey there, I was uploading some apps to the Hexnode console to push them later to our managed Windows devices. When uploading an exe app, I noticed that I had to configure success criteria, but for Msi apps, there didn’t seem to be an option. Is it not required for Msi apps?

Hi, My Windows devices are enrolled in Hexnode and are co-managed with Intune. However, I’m unable to install applications on these devices using the Install Application remote action. The installation appears to be successful, but when I try to open the app, only a shortcut is created. Clicking on the shortcut gives an error: “The…

Hey everyone, I recently took over an IT admin role, and I’m dealing with a locked display settings issue on a boardroom laptop connected to a TV. All options under Settings → Display are greyed out.

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.

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.

Disabling Office Macros

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

I think it would be a killer feature for managing Windows systems if you could add Group Policy Objects functionality to Hexnode MDM.

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.
