New Post: Deployment Script: Google Chrome Enterprise 65.156.32827

Google Chrome allows you to set policies to control the defaults for the installation. You used to be able to just set the registry keys and be done but I guess that was not secure enough. so now you actually need to set the policies. This script installs Google Chrome Enterprise 65.156.32827 and then applies a GPOpack to set the desired local settings.

Uninstalls older MSI Versions of Chrome Enterprise
Sets local policies for Chrome

.SYNOPSIS
    This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s).  
.DESCRIPTION
    The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s). 
    The script either performs an "Install" deployment type or an "Uninstall" deployment type.
    The install deployment type is broken down in to 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
    The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
    To access the help section,
.EXAMPLE
    Deploy-Application.ps1
.EXAMPLE
    Deploy-Application.ps1 -DeploymentType "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
    Deploy-Application.ps1 -AllowRebootPassThru -AllowDefer
.EXAMPLE
    Deploy-Application.ps1 -Uninstall 
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
    The type of deployment to perform. [Default is "Install"]
.PARAMETER DeployMode
    Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent or NonInteractive mode.
    Interactive = Default mode
    Silent = No dialogs
    NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. Noninteractive mode is automatically set if an SCCM task sequence or session 0 is detected.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
    Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. 
    If 3010 is passed back to SCCM a reboot prompt will be triggered.

To create the GPO Pack use LocalGPO:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/LocalGPOmsi-Excellent-MS-2593b2eb

The Chrome ADM extensions can be located here:
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates

Once you have installed Chrome on a clean system (no local GPOs) import the ADM files and set the local policies how you want to set them. then export to a GPOPack for easy installation later.
