Chrome-Enterprise-Administrator Professional Chrome Enterprise Administrator Certification Exam Questions and Answers

The "Managed browsers detail" page in the Google Admin console provides specific information about individual managed Chrome browser instances. This includes details about the profiles associated with that browser, such as the signed-in users and their management status. Chrome log events might contain some profile-related information but are more focused on actions. The"Managed devices" section primarily focuses on ChromeOS devices. The "Chrome Insights report" provides a high-level overview rather than detailed profile information for a specific browser instance.

===========

For machines with no internet connectivity, automatic updates will not work. The only way to update Chrome in this scenario is to manually run the Chrome installer with an updated version obtained through an alternative method (e.g., downloaded on a connected machine and transferred). Auto-update requires internet access, setting a target version only dictates the desired version for automatic updates, and force relaunch requires an update to be downloaded first.

===========

To pin Chrome to a specific working version and prevent upgrades beyond it while still allowing updates within that major version for security patches, the "Target version and rollback" policy is the appropriate choice. This allows administrators to specify a target version and potentially roll back if issues arise, while still receiving critical security updates within that targeted version.

===========

A "warning conflict" in `chrome://policy` indicates that multiple policy sources are trying to control the same setting. Since the browsers were previously managed by Group Policy, there's likely a conflict between the cloud policy and the local Group Policy. The best way to resolve this is to **check and configure the precedence order** of policy sources. Ensure that Cloud Policy is set to have the desired precedence over Group Policy if that's the intention. Restarting the computer might apply existing policies but won't resolve the conflict in precedence. Adjusting a "policy merge list setting" is not a standard term for resolving this type of conflict. Re-enrolling might give a fresh start but doesn't address the underlying conflict in policy sources.

===========

To combat cookie theft from infostealer malware, requiring "Enhanced Safe Browsing" provides proactive protection against malicious websites and downloads that might distribute such malware. Enabling "Application Bound Encryption" adds an extra layer of security to cookies and other sensitive data stored by Chrome, making them harder for malware to use even if stolen. Blocking third-party cookies (option A) can improve privacy but doesn't directly prevent malware from stealing first-party session cookies. Invalidating existing cookies (option C) is a reactive measure and doesn't prevent future theft. Disallowing Chrome Sync and requiring Incognito mode (option D) changes user behavior but doesn't inherently protect against malware on the local machine.

===========

The Chrome Versions report specifically focuses on the distribution of different Chrome browser versions across the managed fleet. A key data point in this report is the number of "Active Browsers" on each version, allowing administrators to understand their update status and identify any significant fragmentation. While "Total Browsers" might be a related metric, the core focus of the "Versions" report is on the active instances and their respective versions. Information on "Inactive Browsers" or the "Last update" time for individual browsers might be found in other reports.

===========

To ensure cloud policies override local policies on Windows, the administrator needs to create a specific Registry value. The correct value is `"CloudPolicyOverridesPlatformPolicy"` of type `REG_DWORD` with data `1`. This setting explicitly tells the Chrome browser to prioritize cloud-managed policies over local policies.

===========

Among the Safe Browsing options, **Enhanced Protection** offers the most robust security. It proactively checks URLs, downloads, and extensions against Google's Safe Browsing database in real time, and it can also share more data with Google to improve detection and provide personalized warnings. This level of protection is best suited for environments with high security requirements. The other options might represent different levels of Safe Browsing with varying degrees of protection.

===========

Organizational Units (OUs) in the Google Admin console allow administrators to apply different Chrome policies to different groups of devices or users based on their organizational structure. By creating separate OUs for Engineering and HR (and potentially other departments), the administrator can configure different Chrome update policies for each OU, ensuring Engineering gets rapid updates while HR stays on a more stable release. User groups primarily manage access to services, and device policies are generally applied at the device level, not necessarily tied to departmental needs for update cadences. Active Directory forests are a Microsoft concept and not directly used for managing Chrome update policies in the Google Admin console.

===========

To minimize disruption while ensuring updates are applied, an engineer can configure a "Relaunch window" in the Relaunch notification settings. This allows users to be prompted to restart within a specific timeframe that is less likely to interrupt their critical work hours, giving them more control over when the restart occurs after an update. Disabling automatic updates (option A) would compromise security. Adding a quiet period (option B) only suppresses notifications, not the forced restart. Setting the auto-update check policy to occur during core work hours (option C) affects when updates are downloaded, not when the restart occurs.

===========

For macOS devices without MDM, the enrollment token can be embedded in the base image. The correct path for placing the cloud management enrollment token on macOS is `/Library/Google/Chrome/CloudManagementEnrollmentToken`. The other paths listed are for Windows Registry (A), a non-standard Linux path (C), and a potentially incorrect macOS path (D).

===========

The most granular and appropriate approach to apply work-related policies without affecting personal browsing is to use **managed profiles**. By requiring users to use a specific managed profile for work purposes, administrators can enforce policies only within that profile. Personal browsing in a separate, unmanaged profile will remain unaffected. Option A would apply policies to all browsing, which is not the requirement. Option C relies on bookmarks, which is not a security enforcement mechanism. Option D is generally not feasible as enterprise policies are designed to be enforced, and setting reliable exceptions for personal use within a managed browser is complex and less secure than using separate profiles.
