Allowlist error in mac

Hey everyone! Has anyone had trouble getting certain apps to work even after adding them to the allowlist? I’m trying to run GitHub Desktop on my Mac, and it's added to my allowlist, but no luck! It seems like apps that don’t need a full install (just unzip and use) aren’t being recognized properly. Any…

FileVault error saying "This recovery key might not be valid because the current recovery key is not retrievable"

I’m seeing a persistent warning message on macOS devices: "This recovery key might not be valid because the current recovery key is not retrievable". Users can still use the recovery key shown in the device info, so it’s valid, but the error keeps appearing. How can we get rid of this message?

Force chrome to open in guest mode

Hello, everyone, We run a store where macOS devices are available for customers to demo. One recurring issue we face is that users often log in to the Chrome browser but forget to log out after they’re done. This leaves us with the tedious task of manually signing out from Chrome on every device at…

Removing paired Bluetooth devices

Hi, we’ve had a request to allow users to connect Bluetooth mice and keyboards to the Macs in our office. I’m not against the idea, but I’m a bit concerned about the possibility of users forgetting to unpair their devices when they’re done. We’re talking about a whole office full of employees, that’s a lot…

Mac shows Multiple Login screen when Hexnode Access is pushed

Hello everyone, We have a bunch of Macs enrolled in our organization, and a few of them were enrolled via DEP. Our organization uses Okta for managing all users, so we basically use the same as network accounts on our macOS devices. When Hexnode announced Hexnode Access, we were really thrilled because it allowed our…

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?

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?
