What is phased deployment, does it matter?
Hey folks! I keep hearing about phased deployments in device management. Can someone explain what phased deployment actually means in a practical sense?

Hey folks! I keep hearing about phased deployments in device management. Can someone explain what phased deployment actually means in a practical sense?
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…
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…
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…
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…
We’re adding smarter insight to your existing reporting experience to make Windows 11 upgrade planning effortless. The Patches and Updates report now give you a clear picture of which devices are ready for Windows 11—and which ones aren’t. What’s New in Patches and Updates Reports You’ll now find two new reports under Reports → Patches…
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?
Hey everyone, quick question about Zebra OS updates. We downloaded the latest OS update package directly from Zebra, but we are hitting a wall trying to install it. Does anyone know if we can just push this file directly to the devices?
Hey folks, One of our users keeps reporting that their iPad refuses to install iOS updates even though Hexnode shows that an update is available. The device just sits there doing nothing. Wi-Fi is fine; the command was sent but still has no progress. Has anyone bumped into this before?
I have mac devices that are showing Tahoe 26 has been downloaded and is "installable" in Hexnode. They are currently running Sequoia 15.5 and I need to get them to 15.7.1. 15.7.1 is not showing on some devices only Tahoe 16. How do I push 15.7.1 to these devices so they will update from 15.5…
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…
