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…

Automating daily restarts

Guys, I need to manually restart my phone every single day just to get it to connect to my Pebble watch. At this point, restarting has become part of my morning routine…coffee, emails, and reboot. Is there any way to automate this using Hexnode? My sanity would appreciate it.

How do you guys handle automatic power off in Hexnode? Any tips?

We’re trying to automatically turn off our field tablets. Staff often leave them on overnight, draining the battery and shortening device lifespan. I noticed that Hexnode lets you include a “Power Off action” in Automations, so we’re curious how people are actually using it. Does it work reliably for scheduled shutdowns? Pretty tired of finding tablets still running at 8 AM.

Anyone using Hexnode to power off devices? How are you doing it?

We’re on Hexnode UEM, and management asked if we could shut down devices without user intervention. Before I say yes or no, how are people actually doing this in Hexnode?

Can I automate local admin account password rotation?

Hey, is it possible to automate the local admin account password rotation remote action in Hexnode? I just did the action on one of my Windows PCs because an employee accidentally accessed the admin account, and I don’t want this to happen again.

How are teams handling Linux config drift at scale?

Our Linux fleet has grown quite a bit, and we’re starting to see configuration drift across devices. Small changes add up over time, and manual fixes don’t really hold. Curious how others are dealing with this without constant manual intervention?

Need a way to Change Ringtone for daily category schedules?

Hey! Our company handles a massive volume of goods from a primary supplier. Previously, this supplier used different phone numbers for different product categories. Our Relationship Manager had assigned a unique custom ringtone to each number. This was a lifesaver—just by hearing the ringtone, our RM could mentally prepare for the specific category they were…

Add ability to update or create apps with manifest paths

Hey team, We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don't allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don't offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution. Due to this restriction, it…
