Install latest version of Dropbox with script

Has anyone here got a working script to install the latest version of Dropbox on Mac? I’ve tried a few different scripts, but each one seems to give errors and gets stuck at some point during the installation process. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the script or with the download link. Additionally,…

Disable chrome’s autofill and passwords saving option

We’re looking for a solution to improve privacy across our organization's macOS devices by disabling chrome browser’s autofill functionality and preventing the saving of passwords and credit card information. It’s important to minimize the risk of sensitive information being stored on devices. Just seeing if anyone has any ideas or methods they are using.

Account driven enrollment and personal iCloud account

Hey, I need some clarity on this setup. We’ve got 50 Mac devices we’ve been managing manually, but now our organization wants to bring them into Hexnode UEM (without resetting/erasing anything). Account-driven enrollment sounds like the way to go, but all these Macs currently have users logged in with their personal iCloud accounts. If we…

Customize dock: app order, size, and position

Hello everyone, We’d like to deploy our M2 Macs with a pre-configured set of applications in the dock, but we don’t want to restrict users from moving or resizing the dock. Is there a way to set specific apps in the dock without fully locking it down for the end user?

Mac Update Keeps Failing

Hey everyone, I keep getting error messages when I try to update my Mac. My settings allow downloads and installations from the App Store and verified developers, so I’m not sure what’s blocking it. This is my personal Mac, not managed by anyone. Anyone else run into this or know how to fix it?

How to update an app which is not managed? Solved

We have some default apps like Messages, Notes, and other pre-installed apps that were not installed through Hexnode. The apps installed via Hexnode are receiving regular updates. However, we have restrictions on the App Store, so users cannot update the apps themselves. Because of this restriction or some other issue, these default apps are not…

Streamline Hexnode Access Login

As an admin user, I'd like Hexnode Access to streamline the number of login authentications when logging into a device. When using Hexnode Access currently, a user has to authenticate multiple times to get into their workstation. On macOS with FileVault enabled, it's three times: drive decryption login, local user login, Google/M365 login. This…

Policy to limit device assigned per user

Hello, It would be nice to have a policy to limit the number of registered devices for users. For example, I would only like to limit 1 macbook per user. This way the user is not able to register another device until we remove them as owner of their current device.

MacOS AppCatalog - Download / Install progressbar

It would be really nice to have a progress bar for the macOS App Catalog. So when i click on the desired App i can see the installation progress and also a confirmation once it is done. Just like the Managed Software Update application for Munki. Also the "installed" banner is not really appealing.

Policies/Custom Profiles for macOS & iOS Devices

Will there be changes to reflect the new profile customizations in Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur in policies? Will there be a roadmap to be able to import custom profile configurations in to a policy so that we can further lock down and customize the look and feel to the end user?
