Unable to create user accounts remotely on macOS devices

We’re running into an issue while trying to create new user accounts remotely on our managed Mac devices. The action keeps failing even though we’re using the correct administrator credentials. Another thing we noticed is that the Last check-in time shown in the portal seems outdated for many of these Macs. These devices are actively being used, but the timestamp…

Hide policy details

Hi, we’re currently managing a number of macOS devices through Hexnode, and I noticed that users can see the policy names and descriptions when they open the Profiles section in System Settings.

App Bundle Configuration Issue

Hi everyone, I’m running into a bit of a snag with App Bundles. I’ve successfully added an app to my app inventory, but when I go to create an App Bundle, I can’t select it as the “principal app”. It simply doesn't show up on the list. Is there a specific step I’m missing to make it visible?

Anyone updating just specific apps on macOS?

Hey everyone, I need to update only a few specific apps across my macOS devices, mainly for security reasons. I know that Install application remote action would work, but I don't have the time to manually select devices and execute the action each time there’s an update. I’m also not looking to update everything automatically, since a few teams rely on specific app versions for compatibility. Is there a better…

Looking for tips to prevent accidental sharing of work profiles

Hey, we’ve been worried about people accidentally sharing sensitive stuff, like copying info from work apps into personal apps. Is there a way to stop that without locking down the whole device?

Work files on BYOD — How are you keeping them separate?

We’ve started allowing BYOD for work email and documents. I keep hearing about “containerizing” work apps and files, but trying to understand what that actually means in practice. If a work PDF is opened on the device, how is it kept from ending up in personal apps?

Scan device location fails

Hi, I tried running the scan device location action on a Mac that’s currently in our warehouse. I was just testing it before deploying the device. The action is showing as failed in the action history though the device is physically there. Any idea why this would happen?

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.

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?

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…
