In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of silently forcing Chrome extensions using Microsoft Intune.

Step 1: Access Microsoft Endpoint

  1. Open your web browser and navigate to intune.microsoft.com

  2. Click on "Manage Devices" in the left-hand menu, then select "Configuration."

  3. Click on "+Create", then "New Policy".

  4. Choose "Windows 10 and later" as the platform.

  5. Select "Templates" as the profile type, and then choose "Administrative Templates."

  6. Click "Create" and give your policy a name.

Step 2: Configure Administrative Templates

  1. Under "Computer Configuration," select "Microsoft Edge."

  2. Choose either "Microsoft Edge" or "Microsoft Edge – Default settings." The first option prevents users from modifying policies, while the second allows users to change the settings you set. You’ll usually go with the first one.

  3. Click on "Extensions," then select "Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions."

  4. Set the policy to "Enabled."

  5. Insert the Extension ID of the extension you want to provision. For Substly, the Extension ID is: ghjglhcgjblhpnfcpkgpjbekjmmhjamn

    Note: To find the Extension ID of any extension, visit the Edge Web Store, search for the extension, and look at the end of the URL in the address bar. Ensure you do not copy any additional characters, such as "?hl=XX," as it's not part of the Extension ID.

  6. Click "OK," then "Next."

Step 3: Scope and Assign the Policy

  1. In the "Assignments" tab, scope the policy as needed.

  2. Click "Next," review your settings, and then click "Create."

Congratulations! You have successfully configured a Microsoft Intune policy to silently force the installation of Edge extensions on Windows 10 devices. This ensures that users either cannot modify the extension settings or have the freedom to change them based on your selection.
