Locked out of devices due to factory reset

We’re trying to factory reset a batch of company Samsung Knox devices. Problem is, we have deployed restrictive policies earlier that block mobile data and Wi-Fi.

How do I replace a technician on the Pro plan while meeting 2FA requirements?

How can a Pro plan user replace a technician in the system while ensuring compliance with mandatory two-factor authentication policies? How can I also change the two-factor authentication (2FA) method? Right now it’s set to email, but I’d prefer to use an authenticator app or text message instead.

Automating set friendly names for devices?

Hey everyone! We’re currently managing about 500 iPads and Windows laptops. Right now, the "Device Name" in our portal is just a string of serial numbers or "iPad." It’s a nightmare when trying to find a specific user’s device during a support call.  I know Hexnode has a way to automate "Friendly Names," but I’m curious—what are the actual best-use cases for this beyond…
