Hi everyone. I wanted to check if it’s possible to push Windows configurations using scripts through Hexnode. 

For example, we have a few workgroup PCs and we want to enforce settings like auto-lockout after invalid password attempts. Can this be done using a script?

Hey @raelynn, yes, you can push Windows configurations using scripts through Hexnode. For workgroup PCs, deploying a PowerShell or Batch script is typically the most effective approach to enforce settings like account lockout after multiple failed login attempts. 

You can upload and execute these scripts on devices using the Execute Custom Script option in the console. This allows you to apply configurations that may not be directly available as built-in policy options. 

While we can guide you through the process of deploying scripts via the portal, the creation and testing of the script itself would need to be handled on your end. 

Also, if you’re on the Hexnode Ultra plan, you can make use of Hexnode Genie, which is an AI-assisted tool that helps generate and refine scripts for administrative tasks like password policy enforcement. 

Please give it a try and see if it fits your requirement.
