Query on restricting email domain on windows devices

Hi guys!! I have a query or so. We’re managing Windows devices with Hexnode, and our company uses Google Workspace. The requirement is that end users should only be able to log in with their @company.com accounts in Gmail/Google apps, but they should not be able to log in with personal @gmail.com accounts. Can Hexnode enforce this,…

Is patch management through local server possible?

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…

Installation of Adobe Acrobat DC

Hi guys, I manage multiple Windows devices and recently tried installing Adobe Acrobat via the Hexnode App Store, which worked successfully. However, when I attempted to deploy Adobe Acrobat DC, the installation failed repeatedly. This made me wonder, does Hexnode support deploying specific Adobe versions like Acrobat 2024, Acrobat 2020, or Acrobat Reader 2020, beyond…

Can we hide Wi-Fi network SSIDs using Hexnode?

Hey everyone, I wanted to hide some of the open Wi-Fi network SSIDs from the list of available networks for the Windows devices in my organization, to prevent the employees from trying to connect to it to access organizational information through such vulnerable networks. These Wi-Fi networks are for guest use only. Is there any Hexnode feature that can do this hiding?

Viewing output from Windows custom scripts in any way to centralize it?

We’re running custom scripts across all our Windows laptops using Hexnode, which works fine execution-wise. The challenge starts after that. When we need to check the script output, we have to open each device individually. That’s manageable for a handful of devices, but with 200+ laptops, it quickly turns into a full-time job. Has anyone…

How can I show a maintenance message on all managed devices?

Hey everyone, We’ve got some scheduled maintenance coming up, and I need a way to send a message to all our managed devices, so users know what to expect. Ideally something quick that shows up on the device without us having to push a full policy. Is there a built-in way to send a message…

Restart Windows machine if it was not restarted in X days

What I'd like is if the user has not restarted their Windows computer in last 2 weeks, they should start getting notifications a day before that their computer will restart on X date at Y time. And if they still don't restart, they should receive a notification 10 minutes before that it will be restarted…

Feature request: Enable custom scripts auto-trigger for the new group members.

We're currently trying to create a proper Windows PC onboarding mechanics. During this phase we need to have several applications installed depending on a group membership. Because of the Hexnode limitations we aren't able to properly configure auto-deployment for some applications. Those ones can be installed via ps1 script for sure, but we need to…

Disabling Office Macros

My company requires Office Macros are disabled. For Winodws and MacOS, this is not a built in setting in Hexnode policies. I cannot find any Powershell scripts or batch files to run and enable this setting. Can this be built in?

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

I think it would be a killer feature for managing Windows systems if you could add Group Policy Objects functionality to Hexnode MDM. It will require major work in the Windows Agent but I think this could really set you apart from the competition. Suggestion on how to implement it: Give the Hexnode admin the…
