How do I block personal Gmail accounts on macs?

I recently noticed that some of the users in our organization are adding their personal Gmail accounts to their managed mac devices. This could turn problematic soon. How do I stop the users in my organization from doing this?

VPP app failing to update on macOS devices

Hey everyone, we’re seeing issues with a VPP app on some of our macOS devices. The app recently got an update, and while most devices installed it fine during the VPP scan, a few keep showing “Failed to Update” when the update action runs.

Self-Service Management -is it worth it?

Hey peeps, I’ve been having a burning question lately about self-service management. I’ve heard the term come up in my circles quite a lot of times and am thinking about adopting it into our company’s ecosystem. Giving users the freedom to solve their issues seems like a good idea, but I have doubts about whether it's just a hype train. I don’t want to make any decisions that I may regret in the future. Any thoughts on…

Bonjour Multicast restriction on macOS devices

Hi everyone, I recently came across a new restriction option called Bonjour Multicast under the macOS restrictions section. It appears to be disabled by default. Here’s what I noticed - one of our existing policies seems to have been updated automatically with this restriction set to “Disabled,” which ended up blocking certain features that our…

Python executable script not showing in applications on macOS

Hi all, I wrote a Python executable script that automatically organizes my documents folder moving files into subfolders by type and date which is almost like an app. It runs perfectly when I execute it, but I don’t see the script in the Hexnode’s Applications tab. Shouldn’t it show up like a normal app?

Deferring major OS updates but allowing other security updates

I’ve been wanting to defer the latest macOS update for macOS 26 Tahoe for the Macs in my organization. But on the other hand, I do not want any security updates or other minor updates to be deferred in the process of delaying the OS update for the systems. Is there a way to achieve this in Hexnode UEM?

Hey everyone, I was setting up FileVault for a few of our Macs, but I don’t see any recovery keys showing up in the Hexnode console. I thought the keys would automatically appear under the device details once encryption started. Am I missing something here?

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

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?

Add Admin user with functionality like Microsoft LAPS

I have been a long-time user of Microsoft LAPS and would like to have similar functionality in Hexnode across different operating systems. Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) is a function that prevents using the same administrative passwords across different endpoints/devices. It regularly changes the passwords and enables management software to retrieve the correct password for…
