So I have a similar issue - I need to push Google Chrome enterprise to over 300 computers.
Google supplies an MSI file for enterprise use.
But as soon as it's installed I need to replace a single file that has the master default preferences in it - these determine how it will first open, what the home page is and so on.
It is called master_prefrences and goes into the same folder as the Chrome exe file once Chrome is installed.
Of course installing Chrome can be done with the software management if I ever get this 747 if the software world figured out - the trick is I need to bundle a task with it that will copy that file intot he Chrome program folder AFTER Chrome is installed.
I can't figure that part out - I know it will need to be a task - I can do that and other things via command lines. (also set a service to disabled)
But my questions are - what do I tell the task to do - where is the file going to be copied from - I need to supply a path.
It is currently in the SAME folder on our Altiris server that the Chrome MSI is in.
How is that addresses? What's the source path in the task?
The destination should be easy.......
So I need this as a taks to run in the SAME policy that installs Chrome - the question marks are because I don't know where to tell these commands to get the file from. It's in the "software library" where the MSI is.
But this is so very confusing as this is a HUGE set of apps, and the going back and forth trying to figure out if this is a program, or a version or just what the heck it is! Then to get it installed I have to go to manage policies and work in there........ it's not all in the manage software area so going back and forth has me lost.
if exist "c:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\master_preferences" copy /y "?????????\master_preferences""C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\master_preferences"
if exist "c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\master_preferences" copy /y "???????\master_preferences""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\master_preferences"
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Update /f /v AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes /d 0
sc stop gupdate
sc config gupdate start= disabled
Where will the task get the file from if it's in the software library folder with the Chrome MSI?
What do I tell it the path or source is?
