How does Zero Trust Architecture in MDM work?

Zero Trust Architecture sounds great on paper, but how does it translate to the daily grind of managing devices through an MDM solution?

Does spotlight indexing affect SSD?

I use spotlight regularly to find files and open apps, so I want to keep it functional. From what I understand, indexing keeps track of document locations, but I have a feeling that constant indexing might be putting unnecessary strain on my SSD.

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?

I have been a long-time user of Microsoft LAPS and would like to have similar functionality in Hexnode across different operating systems.
