Whitelist specific chrome extensions

Hi community! Installing chrome extensions has become frequent on our managed devices. While most extensions seem legit, there are a few that could be malicious. To avoid any probable risks, we want to allow only a few extensions while the rest must remain blocked. Is there any way I can implement it through Hexnode?

Can the user remove the MDM app from the device if they have admin access?

Hi, I'm facing a dilemma. While creating some accounts for my organization, I accidentally assigned the role of administrator instead of standard user. Can these accounts uninstall the MDM app from the devices since they have admin privileges, or is the app removable by any account regardless of its role?

Determine windows 10 upgradability to windows 11

We have this script to determine if a windows 10 PC can be upgraded to windows 11. https://github.com/Globaldots/hexnode/blob/master/commands/windows/HardwareReadinessForWin11.md The script will update the device notes with the upgradability status. Please react if you find it useful too,…

Log out users from the devices

We have a large number of Windows devices in the college for all the students. However, students often walk away from the device without logging out, either by just locking it or waiting for others to switch to their accounts. In both cases, their accounts remain logged in. When executing scripts meant for currently logged-in…

As an admin user, I'd like the ability to control Windows firewall settings by policy instead of through scripts so that we can automate and standardize our firewall settings.

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…

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.
