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.…

I want my Windows devices to lock automatically after some idle time, but I don’t want them to switch to screensaver or sleep mode. Can this be configured from the Hexnode portal?

Is endpoint management becoming the new security perimeter?

The idea of a “network perimeter” feels outdated now. Users work from everywhere, devices move across networks, and applications live in the cloud. What has stayed constant is the endpoint. It’s authenticated, monitored, patched, restricted, and often decides whether access is allowed at all. Starting to feel like endpoint management is quietly replacing the firewall…

Is patch management through local server possible?

Hey everyone, I’m hitting a wall with our bandwidth. We’ve got a bunch of Windows 11 endpoints across five branch offices. Every 'Patch Tuesday,' our WAN links just crawl because every single machine tries to pull a 4GB Cumulative Update from Microsoft at the same time.  I’m using an MDM solution to manage them, and I’m wondering: Is there a way to push a script or a policy…

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. And if they still don't restart, they should receive a notification 10 minutes before that it will be restarted…

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…
