Hey there, I was uploading some apps to the Hexnode console to push them later to our managed Windows devices. When uploading an exe app, I noticed that I had to configure success criteria, but for Msi apps, there didn’t seem to be an option. Is it not required for Msi apps?

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?

Ability to read and set windows Registry Keys

I would very much have the ability to set registry keys in Windows. It would also be nice if you could read a defined set of registry keys and combine it with a reporting functionality to make a device out of compliance if the keys differ from expected.
