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.

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…

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.
