Limiting remote access to support team only – any tips?

Our IT team has grown a bit recently, so we’re reviewing technician permissions.  Right now, a few people have access to the Manage tab, which means they can start Remote View or Remote Control sessions. It hasn’t caused issues so far, but we’re wondering if it’s better to limit that just to the support team.  For those managing larger teams, how are you handling this?

How to prevent unauthorized setting changes and enable remote repair for Zebra/Honeywell fleets?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice on managing our fleet of Zebra and Honeywell ruggedized devices once they’re out on the warehouse floor. We’re having some trouble with staff changing device settings, which keeps disrupting our operations. Also, if a device runs into issues in another state, is there a way to manage and fix it through Hexnode without having to send someone out there?

Remote view requires user confirmation on some Android devices

Whenever we try to start a remote view session on one of our Android devices, the user has to manually approve the connection on the device.  However, we’re able to remotely access some of our other devices without any confirmation from the user. Is there a setting we might have missed that allows unattended remote view?

Remote View Removed from Device Summary Page

Looking to find out why the Remote View box was removed from the Device Summary page for a device such as an Android Tablet. I understand that a whole separate tab was created but it was very efficient to have the Remote View option right there when you jumped into a device. Can this be…

Learned the hard way: "Unattended" access isn't 100% silent out of the box

I just wanted to save someone else from the headache I’m dealing with this morning. We just rolled out a batch of Samsung tablets to our warehouse floor. They are mounted high on forklifts, so they are effectively "unattended" devices. I pushed the Unattended Remote Access policy in Hexnode, assuming I could just remote in…

Strategy for getting a lost/stolen laptop online to receive lock command

I am just wondering what people's strategies are for allowing a lost or stolen laptop to get online so the lost/lock command can be recieved? My thoughts are: Create a wifi policy with a specific SSID/pwrd that can set up to enable a recovered laptop to get back online so the password can be changed.…

Remote Sessions Supercharged: Control More Devices at Once

We’re excited to introduce Multi-Session Support in Remote View — a powerful upgrade that makes remote troubleshooting faster, smoother, and more flexible. Remote View used to allow only one active session at a time, and trying to access a second device would show a “session already exists” message. That restriction is gone, making multitasking effortless.…

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…

Custom Log function

I'd like to suggest a custom log function on every device. The log should be used to keep track of the actions on the IT-support. Example: 2022-09-13 14:40: User was asked to update device OS 2022-07-03 09:13: Device had new screen installed after user dropped device from desktop 2021-01-10 13:04: Device had faulty charger, replaced…
