Updating Firefox browser on macOS and Windows

I’ve been wanting to push the latest updates (v145) for the Firefox browser across my Windows and macOS systems. It’s been already pre-installed on the devices, so I’m a bit confused on how to update it through Hexnode. Is there any way for this?

Cloned machines are being treated as the same device! Any solutions?

Hey everyone, we're trying to deploy a master Windows image to multiple Dell laptops. The issue is that after cloning, Hexnode treats all the laptops as the same device instead of creating a new device ID for each one. How can we make Hexnode assign a unique ID to every laptop?

How to disable password manager in Chrome?

Hey folks, I’m trying to figure out how to disable the password manager in Chrome using Hexnode on my Windows devices. It’s been auto-saving credentials and I want to turn that off across devices. Any ideas?

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?

Disenrolled the device but some settings are still stuck

I’m running into something odd and hoping someone here has seen this before. I just disenrolled a Windows device, and everything seemed to complete fine. But when I try running the setup package again, it refuses and says the device is already associated. Any idea what might be hanging around?

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?

Preventing Windows users from changing their passwords in Entra-integrated devices

Hey everyone! Quick question! Is there any way to remove or disable the Change a password option that appears when users press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on Windows?

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.

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.

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.
