Force install Chrome Extensions

Hey guys, I am really desperate here, tried everything I could think of, but simply forcing a list of extensions for Chrome doesn't work. I followed this tutorial - https://ccmexec.com/2018/09/managing-google-chrome-version-69-and-later-using-intune/. I can have the home button show fine, but applying the list registry always fails:

MDM PolicyManager: Set policy string, Policy: (ExtensionInstallForcelist), Area: (Chrome~Policy~googlechrome~Extensions), EnrollmentID requesting set: (D165E554-567C-4DAA-8B5E-E65E50123350), Current User: (Device), String: (<enabled/><data id=”ExtensionInstallForcelistDesc” value=”1&#xF000;bkbeeeffjjeopflfhgeknacdieedcoml;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx″/>), Enrollment Type: (0xD), Scope: (0x0), Result:(0x80004005) Unspecified error.

I am pretty much out of ideas. I also tried removing <enabled/> from the policy but nothing changed.

  • I feel really stupid about this that it didn't occur to me - when copypasting from the blog post, the quotes were the text (left and right) instead of the regular quotes...

      don't feel too bad, problems caused by copy/pasting quotes have affected many of us :)

      Hi. can you elaborate on this please? I think I have the same fault. 

      when I view the blog post half of the force extension script is being cut off so I have to type it in manually from the image below it but it fails. my other settings succeed. 

      what do you mean that the quotes were the text?
