What to do with the Encrypted but Unprotected Status?

Hi everyone! We have two Windows devices showing the BitLocker status in the Hexnode portal as "Encrypted but unprotected." I found this article: “Protect Verification Key for BitLocker Encryption” suggesting we might need to modify our Windows policy to address this issue. However, we’re worried that changing the policy might mess with our other devices that are already showing as "Encrypted." We also can't figure…

Website Kiosk for Windows

Hey everyone. We’re deploying Windows-based screens at an airport and need them to run only one custom web application via Chrome. We want to block all other access. Does Hexnode have a way to handle this?

Windows devices enrolling as “Default User” instead of Google Workspace authenticated user.

Hi team, we are enrolling our Windows devices using Hexnode portal. We expect the users to authenticate it using their Google credentials during enrollment, but devices are getting enrolled under default user instead. Is there any configuration required to enable Google Authentication?

Query on BitLocker startup screen

Hi Team, I’m working with a customer who requires BitLocker encryption on Windows devices. The key requirement is that the BitLocker startup screen must be the first prompt after powering on the devices, and the user must enter a PIN before the Windows login screen appears. Encryption is completed successfully, but after reboot, the device goes straight to the Windows login screen and…

BIOS Passwords--is it really important for Windows Security?

We already enforce BitLocker, Secure Boot, TPM, and endpoint protection across our Windows devices. Is a BIOS admin password really necessary, or is it just extra hardening?

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…
