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.…

Force BitLocker encryption action fails

Hey Community, I’ve been trying to encrypt the Windows devices at work using the Force Bitlocker remote action. But unfortunately, even after multiple attempts I’m encountering an error with the message “A recovery key or Startup key is 'Required' in the associated BitLocker encryption policy. This action cannot be applied when a Recovery key or a Startup key is required. “. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Does a Digital Twin have a place in Cybersecurity?

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on Digital Twins lately, and I’m wondering if they actually have a place in cybersecurity. The times are evolving, we’ve got increasing threats, insider risks, and constantly changing attack surfaces. In theory, having a “virtual replica” of our IT ecosystem sounds great, like running simulations before actual breaches occur.…

Locking down remote support for library kiosks

Hey guys, we set up chromebooks in our campus library for quick student access, running as Managed guest sessions. We need IT to be able to remote in instantly for support, but I need to block the guest user from somehow sharing their screen with their buddy's personal laptop. I'm using hexnode. Is there a way to achieve that?

Let's talk about Lights Out Management

Hey everyone, I came across this interesting article on Lights Out Management (LOM). It’s a form of Out of Band Management (OOBM) that allows remote server management, even if the server is powered off or the OS is unresponsive. For those unfamiliar with OOBM, it uses a separate network from the production network to provide…

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…
