Chrome Browser - Forcing on 'Turn on Sync'

[Planehazza]

Possibly a stupid question and I can see a few reasons why this doesn't appear to be possible, but I'm sick of staff moaning at me when their profiles have been deleted (reimaged PC usually) and they didn't turn sync on (despite being instructed numerous times) meaning lost bookmarks etc.

 

Other than a GPO to enforce browser sign in, are people aware of a GPO of workspace setting that can force users to turn sync on in Google Chrome? I cannot find anything out there, but figured someone here might have found a way.

 

Thanks!

I asked the exact same question a couple of months ago, no one came forward with any suggestions.

I suspect it's simply not possible but it would be really helpful so we could 'deal with' the... stu(pid)bborn users.

I notice a sync section in workspace, but it only seems to enable the option for users to then have the option to sync or not. Would be great to also have forced sync.
