Deferring major OS updates but allowing other security updates

I’ve been wanting to defer the latest macOS update for macOS 26 Tahoe for the Macs in my organization. But on the other hand, I do not want any security updates or other minor updates to be deferred in the process of delaying the OS update for the systems. Is there a way to achieve this in Hexnode UEM?

Hey everyone, I was setting up FileVault for a few of our Macs, but I don’t see any recovery keys showing up in the Hexnode console. I thought the keys would automatically appear under the device details once encryption started. Am I missing something here?

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.
