Question to GPO setting ExtensionSettings

Hi all

 

I have implemented the GPO setting ExtensionSettings (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensionsettings) to overwrite the update_url for all extensions installed. If set, this registry gets the following key:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

REG_SZ = ExtensionSettings

Value = {"addjamcohfpgkhbbllndpnjlekboabdk": {"update_url": "https://test.mydomain.com/EdgeStore/crx"}}

 

When checking the GPO with edge://policy it reports "OK". But when I start Edge and force Extensions update, they still want to connect to other stores as I can see with Fiddler.

 

Has anyone experience with the setting?

 

It's a bit difficult to set, as in the policy description the example settings are shown in multi-line but within the GPO you can just enter one-line.

  • stesch79 Is this a proprietary extension not listed in any of the stores?

     

    ExtensionSettings requires a JSON format (within that single line). Could you share the JSON that you are using to update the settings?

      ashishpoddar  Thanks. No, this extension is not listed in the store.

       

      I have only this line: {"addjamcohfpgkhbbllndpnjlekboabdk": {"update_url": "https://test.mydomain.com/EdgeStore/crx"}}
