Changing the WiFi order

Hey there, I deployed a Wi-Fi configuration profile to our macos devices, but I noticed an issue. The network is being placed at the bottom of the preferred networks list. This is problematic because our users often end up connecting to unsecured networks instead of our secure, company-provided Wi-Fi. How can I ensure the company…

How to remove a policy after it is deployed?

I manage a fleet of devices using Hexnode UEM. Recently, I implemented a policy to blocklist certain apps due to excessive data consumption. But turns out these apps are essential, and I’d like to get rid of the policy altogether. How do I do that?

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.
