Can’t seem to block the Perplexity Comet app on Windows devices

Hey folks, I’ve been trying to block the Perplexity Comet app through Hexnode using the usual method to add the app under the blocklist with its publisher name and all. But the app still launches without any issues. I’ve double-checked the spelling and package details, and everything seems fine. Has anyone else run into this?

How to block AutoRun/AutoPlay on Windows?

Hey, Is there an option in Hexnode that can disable or block AutoRun/AutoPlay on Windows devices? When a user connects an external storage drive (like a USB), we’d like to prevent AutoRun/AutoPlay from launching content automatically.

Media management policy error in Windows

I’ve been trying to associate a policy for media management to secure my Windows devices. I needed to restrict the use of external media such as USBs and CDs, so I disabled the Allow use of all external media option in the media management policy. The policy applied successfully on most devices, but on a few, it failed. Has anyone else come across this?

Can users be restricted from adding personal Gmail accounts on iOS BYOD devices?

Hey everyone, We’ve got a few iOS devices enrolled under the BYOD setup, and I was wondering if there’s a way to stop users from signing in with their personal email accounts on the Gmail app. Basically, we only want them to access their company email there. Is that something we can do with Hexnode?

Managing Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC) on ChromeOS devices

I’ve been hearing a lot about Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC) on ChromeOS lately. From what I gather, it’s what allows Android apps to run on Chromebooks, but I’m not entirely sure how it works or what kind of control admins have over it. Can anyone explain how ARC functions on ChromeOS devices?

Mock location on Android

Hi everyone. We recently discovered that some employees are changing their location on our company-owned Android devices. This affects our field staff tracking, as they are marking attendance and site visits without being there. Is there any way to prevent this?

How to restrict clipboard functionality on Zebra devices

We need to disable clipboard access on our Zebra devices (MC33 and TC52 running Android 8.1.0) for security reasons. We tried using Zebra OEM Config powered by MX, but it didn’t work. Is there another way to achieve this?

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.
