Can “Automated vulnerability remediation” actually work at scale?

Serious question for people managing large fleets.  Everyone talks about automated vulnerability remediation like it’s the end of patch panic forever. Detect CVEs, auto-fix, move on. Sounds great on slides.  But once you cross, say, 40k or 50k devices, does this actually hold up? Between OS patch delays, app dependencies, reboot timing, and users being users… I’m struggling to picture automation…

Enforcing a Specific Windows OS Version Within a Defined Update Window

We are managing a fleet of Windows devices in an enterprise environment and would like to standardize all systems on a specific Windows OS build. The goal is to ensure devices upgrade to a defined OS version within a 30-day window for compliance and stability reasons. While exploring the Hexnode console, we were unsure where…

OS Update policy behaviour?

Hi everyone,  We’re managing Android tablets with Hexnode and currently have a 30-day OS update postponement policy applied.  A couple of things we’re trying to understand:  Is there any way to see which devices have OS updates pending or how many days are left in the postponement period?  What actually happens once the postponement period ends? Do updates automatically become…

Is patch management through local server possible?

Hey everyone, I’m hitting a wall with our bandwidth. We’ve got a bunch of Windows 11 endpoints across five branch offices. Every 'Patch Tuesday,' our WAN links just crawl because every single machine tries to pull a 4GB Cumulative Update from Microsoft at the same time.  I’m using an MDM solution to manage them, and I’m wondering: Is there a way to push a script or a policy…

macOS Updates not being deployed

Hey people, I’m trying to force install updates on some Macs. I’d used a policy for this with the update settings set to Download and Install and manually triggered the updates. But the devices remained on the current version, which is weird as in the Action history as I see the action status as Initiated. Anyone got any thoughts on how to fix this issue?

Custom Log function

I'd like to suggest a custom log function on every device. The log should be used to keep track of the actions on the IT-support. Example: 2022-09-13 14:40: User was asked to update device OS 2022-07-03 09:13: Device had new screen installed after user dropped device from desktop 2021-01-10 13:04: Device had faulty charger, replaced…
