Google Chrome as default browser network wide (ADM/ADMX policies??)

[mattianuk]

Hi all

 

On the new domain I have, I want to set Google Chrome as everyones default browser. Lots of staff already love it, and I want to take advantage of that. I have it installed everywhere using the MSI but now I want to configure it through the ADM/ADMX policies they have.

 

Only thing is - Im not sure how to use these? I have a vanilla 2008r2 setup with 2 DC's and Windows 7 64x clients.

 

I basically want to lock it down a bit (stop them installing extensions for the moment) and set things like homepages - and also set it as the default browser.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yup, templates you need are on this thread:

They work a charm, we've done the same because IE isn't fit for purpose.

Same here although IE has to stay default for some of our online exams

gshaw : which ones? (just to make sure we don't fall foul of such silly things too!)

I've got them, not sure how to install admx templates tho? Followed a guide but they only appear on one dc and don't apply?
