Is there a way of achieving chrome opening on more than one PC

Is there a way of achieving chrome opening on more than one PC using mandatory profiles....

I'm not sure I understand what you want to achieve, but if you redirect the start menu to a custom one of your design, you can put Chrome in the startup folder and it will launch everytime someone using that mandatory profile logs in.

 

Or you could simply add it to your logon script.

 

Let us know a bit more detail and someone will be able to help more...

The problem we have is that someone logs on to a station opens chrome then leaves the session open then logs on to a different pc and tries to use chrome but it wont open until closed on the first pc

yes there are switches to change the profile , for example we use

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --allow-no-sandbox-job

you could try

Solution

 

Google seem to have created their own variables rather than using the standard Windows environmental variables.

 

The current list of Chrome variables on Windows includes:

 

%APPDATA% = ${roaming_app_data}

%LOCALAPPDATA% = ${local_app_data}

%USERNAME% = ${user_name}

%COMPUTERNAME% = ${machine_name}

%USERPROFILE% = ${profile}

%PROGRAMFILES% = ${program_files}

%WINDIR% = ${windows}

Other variables:

 

${documents} – The “Documents” folder for the current user. (“C:\Users\Administrator\Documents”)

${global_app_data} – The system-wide Application Data folder. (“C:\AppData”)

So for example, to store Chrome’s user data in the roaming application data section of users profiles, I set the UserDataDir policy path to:

 

${roaming_app_data}\Google\Chrome\User Data

tags: Google Chrome

Do you redirect AppData?

Thank you for this information our profiles are mandatory with a redirect of the apps folder do you think it would help if this was turned off.

That's an entirely different issue!
