Macbook Pro lockout issue

Hi, one of our devices (MacBook Pro) got remotely locked, and now the device shows “Try again in 25177311 minutes” when attempting to enter the PIN. The Mac likely ran out of battery after the lock command was sent. Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround?

Restrict users from changing location settings

Hey folks, quick question. Is there any way to stop users from turning off Location Services on macOS? I need to make sure it stays enabled for compliance reasons, but I can’t find a straightforward option in the settings. Any ideas?

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.

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?
