Query:- Blocking Portable Application (.exe/.msi) Downloads & Installations without Admin Rights via Hexnode

Hi Everyone, We have observed multiple instances where users are installing portable applications (for example, standalone .exe or .msi packages) at user level without administrator privileges. Although these installations do not require admin rights, they pose security and compliance risks from an endpoint control perspective. We would like to understand: Is it possible via…

Can we set a default font for Office Apps via Hexnode?

Hi everyone! Our branding team has mandated that all company documents must use Helvetica Neue instead of Microsoft’s default font. We currently manage around 150 macOS devices and 200 Windows laptops using Hexnode UEM. Is there a way to enforce a default font across Microsoft Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) using Hexnode? I’d really prefer…

How does Autopilot actually work during setup?

Hey people, we’re planning to use Windows Autopilot, but I’m not fully clear on what happens when the user first turns on the device. Does it install anything or is it just enrollment?

Autopilot modes, ESP, and pre-provisioning - when do you actually use them?

Hey everyone, I’m kind of new to device management and am seeing things like user-driven mode, self-deploying mode, ESP, and pre-provisioning being used around. But I’m not sure how to decide what to use where. Would appreciate it if someone could help me see things more clearly. Cheers.

Windows Devices losing connection! Outdated Hexnode apps?

Hi everyone, We manage a fairly large fleet of Windows laptops across our organization. Recently, I've noticed that a significant chunk of these devices are dropping off the radar and showing as not connected in the Hexnode portal. Upon physically checking a few of the affected devices, I realized that the Hexnode Service App installed…

Windows 10 disable update

Currently using Windows 10, and it’s been a nightmare when it comes to updates. I don’t want updates constantly popping up or restarting my system at random times. Is there any way to completely disable Windows updates?

Where can I trigger a manual password reset in Hexnode, and how do I avoid lockouts from password expiry?

Hey everyone, Where exactly can you trigger a manual password reset for Windows devices from Hexnode? I’m also trying to figure out if there’s a way to handle password expiry better. Specifically, I want to avoid any chance of users getting locked out when their passcode expires as per policy. Anyone dealt with this before?

MDM Migration Issues

I recently migrated about a dozen devices from Rippling to Hexnode. Most of the headache came from the Rippling side, but now that everyone is completely in Hexnode we're experiencing issues there, too. The biggest issue is that one user's device in particular was rendered completely unusable. Screen flickering, apps crashing, and inability to control…

Trying to debug an issue — are device logs even worth it?

I’ve got a Windows device acting up (configs not applying properly, no clear errors in the portal). Was thinking of pulling logs, but not sure if that actually helps or just ends up being a dump of useless data. Anyone here actually rely on logs for this kind of thing?

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.

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.

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…
