GPO for "Allow extensions from other store"
not so sure what kind of workaround works for you now?
As long as it isn't enabled manually, by the user, no extensions will be available, including the forced ones. That's basically why that GPO is required.
Yikes, that's not something I even thought about or tested. With Google Chrome, we do have a couple of forced extensions set up, and I know we will need to carry at least one over to New Edge once we deploy that. If the forced extensions won't work without the user manually enabling extensions from other stores, that could be a show stopper for us when it comes to getting users to move from Chrome to New Edge. Has anyone already tested this? If not, I can later.
Forced extensions work without to opt-in the toggle. I tried twice with new profiles from the chrome store. I used the same gpo settings from Chrome to Edge
Shaecky you are correct. Using the GPO Setting "Control which extensions are installed silently" allows you to push Chrome extensions without needing the setting manually configured.
Sorry to dig up an old thread but i'm not getting the same experience as you guys when trying to install a chrome extension using "Control which extensions are installed silently"
First, what i'm doing:
Grabbing the extension ID from the URL in the Chrome Web Store.
Opening the 'Control which extensions are installed silently' setting - this is enabled.
Entering the extension ID in the list of 'Extension/App IDs and update URLs to be silently installed.'
None of the other settings inside User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Extensions are configured.
Am i missing something?
