However, when I assign a policy to a specific user who is logged into a shared machine, it seems to affect everyone else who…

Unable to Enroll Windows Device

We’re trying to enroll a Windows device into Hexnode, but during enrollment it throws an error saying the device is already enrolled and asks for co-management. We double-checked and there’s no other MDM configured on the device. Has anyone faced this before? How do we fix it?

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.…

Windows Firewall policies

As an admin user, I'd like the ability to control Windows firewall settings by policy instead of through scripts so that we can automate and standardize our firewall settings.

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…
