Pre-Configure Chrome-Browser Plugin

Hello, we’d like to pre-configure our Windows-Enviroment for the chrome-browser-plugin. For the desktop-app it’s already perfectly working with the data.json.

With the browser-instructions I have my problems:

  • The registry-Item should be createed in GPO “User Configuration”
  • But the path is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • Users don’t have write accress to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • Also the complete path (neither somewhere in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE nor HKEY_CURRENT_USER is not existing. I have to create this complete path: Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions<extension_id>\policy\environment

Could this be? Does anyone has the setup running like described in the help?

Thank you and best,
Johannes

Welcome.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_LOCAL_CURRENT_USER are not file paths. The are windows registry hives. You need to run regedit.exe to access the the registry.

Hey kchapbw,

sure, this is clear! But a regular user does not have the permission to write into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Based on the manual, the key should be integrated into the “User Configuration”-GPO → it is executed with user permissions → has no permission to write. It would make more sense to configure it under the “Computer Configuration”-GPO. But the path in total looks strange for me.

I misread your thread.
