Hi everyone, I can’t seem to get the lock screen picture on my Windows device. I tried using a URL to set it via script, but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas on what I might be missing?
For those who’ve reinstalled Windows 11, how did you go about finding your product key? I've come across a few methods but I’m not sure which one is the most reliable. Just trying to avoid running into issues mid-install. Can anyone please help me with how to find the product key or share any relevant…
I’ve always used Sleep mode on my windows laptop, but recently came across something saying hibernate is better if you're stepping away for longer. What’s the actual difference between the two?
When I tried to decrypt the drive, I got an error saying it’s locked and needs to be unlocked before proceeding and the action failed as well. Thing is - I’ve been using Hexnode to manage Bitlocker, and this is the first time my drives got locked like this. Normally, I can access everything right…
Hi everyone! We’re excited to announce the launch of new and improved BitLocker actions for Windows devices in Hexnode. We’ve enhanced the Force BitLocker Encryption remote action. Previously, it supported only OS and fixed drives, but now you can encrypt all types of drives, giving you the flexibility to secure exactly what you need. But…

Whether restricting access to distracting websites in a corporate environment or enforcing safe browsing policies in schools, this update makes it simple and effective.

Hi, I was just deploying some actions and policies to our managed Windows devices. Some actions were taking a while, so I applied those actions again. In the Action History, I noticed a Cancelled status with an info button. Is this the same as Failed status? What’s the difference between the two?
I tried decrypting the C: drive using the force bitlocker decryption remote action, but it failed. Got an error saying the OS drive can't be decrypted until auto-unlock is cleared for all drives. What exactly is auto-unlock? Is it the same as locking/unlocking a drive?
Securing Windows devices with BitLocker is now more adaptable than ever. Hexnode UEM now supports BitLocker encryption for standard users, giving admins the power to enforce encryption even when the signed-in user doesn’t have administrative privileges. This is a game-changer for organizations with limited-access user environments, helping maintain security without compromising control. What’s new? The…
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.
When will this be available?
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…
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…
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?
Please make it so that you can edit each added application in the Kiosk Lockdown Section. It is very difficult to check for errors, all you can do is delete and add back, also hard to tell whats what, and what you have and dont have. All you can do is Add and Delete, this…
Hi, Would it be possible to have windows auto lock after a period of innactivity please. Thanks
Hello Hexnode peoples, We are hoping to get a feature request placed to have the ability to use custom scripts within policies to force the installation and configuration of applications. Our use cases revolve around the need to be able to force software for security and other tools be installed on all existing, and new…
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…
I would very much have the ability to set registry keys in Windows. It would also be nice if you could read a defined set of registry keys and combine it with a reporting functionality to make a device out of compliance if the keys differ from expected.
