Remote View Removed from Device Summary Page

Looking to find out why the Remote View box was removed from the Device Summary page for a device such as an Android Tablet. I understand that a whole separate tab was created but it was very efficient to have the Remote View option right there when you jumped into a device. Can this be…

Learned the hard way: "Unattended" access isn't 100% silent out of the box

Remote Sessions Supercharged: Control More Devices at Once

We’re excited to introduce Multi-Session Support in Remote View — a powerful upgrade that makes remote troubleshooting faster, smoother, and more flexible. Remote View used to allow only one active session at a time, and trying to access a second device would show a “session already exists” message. That restriction is gone, making multitasking effortless.…

Whenever I try to start a session, the remote view session gets stuck on “loading” and then disconnects automatically after a few seconds. I’ve tried refreshing the…

Hey Community, I’ve been trying to encrypt the Windows devices at work using the Force Bitlocker remote action.

This action cannot be applied when a Recovery key or a Startup key is required. “. Does anyone know a fix for this?

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…

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…
