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…

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?

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.
