Unable to update the friendly name or device name in macOS

Hey everyone, I used the rename device action to rename a few of my macOS devices. I even checked the “update friendly name” checkbox. Not only did it not update the device name, but the friendly name is not changing as well, even though I scanned the devices to reflect the changes.

File deployment on devices

Folks, I’m in bit of a pickle right now. I’ve been trying to deploy a file into my macOS devices at the workplace using the Deploy custom configuration feature through Hexnode. But it seems I am unable to upload the file which in .txt and .csv formats. So, anyone got an idea how to get out of this?

Vanta says my screen lock isn’t enabled… but it is!

We’ve set a 5-minute screen lock policy on all our macOS devices through Hexnode. It works perfectly, and devices lock themselves after inactivity just like they’re supposed to. But our Vanta compliance dashboard still insists that “Screen lock is not enabled.” Not sure what we’re missing here, has anyone run into this before?

How do I block personal Gmail accounts on macs?

I recently noticed that some of the users in our organization are adding their personal Gmail accounts to their managed mac devices. This could turn problematic soon. How do I stop the users in my organization from doing this?

VPP app failing to update on macOS devices

Hey everyone, we’re seeing issues with a VPP app on some of our macOS devices. The app recently got an update, and while most devices installed it fine during the VPP scan, a few keep showing “Failed to Update” when the update action runs.

Delay and failure when installing Office apps via .pkg on macOS

Hey everyone, We’re facing some trouble pushing Outlook for macOS using a .pkg file. The install just sits in “Queued at device end” forever, and after a long wait, it ends up failing with “Failed to update app.” We tried uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook, which oddly works fine but updates still refuse to go through.…

Issue with persistent user creation through live terminal session

Hey folks, I ran into something odd while using Live Terminal on one of my Mac devices, and I’m hoping someone can clear this up. So, after running a session, I noticed a new local account popped up — something like Hexnode-RMM-. Naturally, I checked it out, and it turns out this account: Exists in…

Devices not showing in CVE Vulnerable Devices report despite being vulnerable

Hey everyone, I noticed that no devices are showing up under the Vulnerable Devices section in our Hexnode portal. Is this normal? Also, could someone explain how Hexnode identifies vulnerabilities or CVEs on devices?

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.

Disabling Office Macros

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?

The system is missing support for showing the computer name, hostname, and IP address.We would like it added to the “Device Info” tab. It would also be nice if we could revert a friendly name back to the actual computer name.So that it once again follows the user's changes to the name.

Add Admin user with functionality like Microsoft LAPS

I have been a long-time user of Microsoft LAPS and would like to have similar functionality in Hexnode across different operating systems. Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) is a function that prevents using the same administrative passwords across different endpoints/devices. It regularly changes the passwords and enables management software to retrieve the correct password for…
