Google Chrome-Enterprise-Administrator - Professional Chrome Enterprise Administrator Certification Exam

Setting the **Safe Browsing policy to Enhanced mode** provides the most direct and comprehensive protection against malicious websites by leveraging Google's real-time threat intelligence. Allowing users to bypass warnings (option A) defeats the purpose of Safe Browsing. While site isolation (options C and D) protects against cross-site data leakage, it doesn't directly prevent users from accessing malicious sites in the first place. Enhanced Safe Browsing actively warns and blocks access to dangerous websites.

===========

By default, when a Chrome browser on a Windows device is enrolled in Chrome Enterprise Core, cloud-based machine policies will take precedence over locally configured machine policies (Group Policy). This ensures that the centrally managed cloud policies are enforced.

===========

While the exact percentage isn't explicitly stated in the provided material, industry best practices for software deployment, including browser updates, recommend testing in a Beta environment with a representative but limited subset of users before a full rollout. A common recommendation for Beta testing is around 5% of the user base. This provides sufficient feedback and issue detection without impacting the majority of users.

===========

To prevent extensions from modifying the internal homepage, the administrator should add `*.acme.com` to the "Runtime blocked hosts" list. The wildcard `*` ensures that any attempt to access or modify this domain by an extension will be blocked at runtime. Additionally, to disable access to storage and history, the administrator needs to explicitly disable the "Storage" and "History" permissions within the extension management settings. Therefore, the correct combination is to block the host and disable the permissions.

===========

While the provided study guide doesn't explicitly detail the OS requirements for self-hosting Chrome extensions, general web hosting best practices suggest that Linux is a common and robust platform for serving files and managing web-related services. Its open-source nature, command-line interface, and extensive server software support make it well-suited for self-hosting compared to desktop-centric operating systems like Windows 11 or macOS, and the client-focused ChromeOS. Self-hosting typically involves setting up a web server to distribute the extension files, a task commonly performed on Linux servers.

===========

To effectively manage both managed device browsers (which apply policies at the device level) and managed profiles (which apply policies at the user profile level), creating a separate OU at the top level (under "Company") or directly under it, specifically for "Managed Browsers," is the recommended approach. This allows for distinct policies tailored to the browser instance, regardless of the user signed in. Nesting under specific user OUs (Employees, Users, Contractors) would complicate the management of shared devices or scenarios where different user types might use the same managed browser.

===========

To override a ChromeOS user policy, the administrator should deploy a policy at the **Machine Cloud level**. Machine-level policies have a higher precedence than user-level policies on ChromeOS devices. "Enterprise Default" is a general policy level and might not override user settings. Chrome Flags are experimental features and not intended for policy management. Chrome component updates manage specific browser components, not policy settings.

===========

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.

===========

When managing inactive device tokens, the "Renew Token" option is crucial for allowing devices to re-enroll after a period of inactivity. If the token is revoked, invalidated, or deleted, the device will likely require a manual re-enrollment process. Renewing the token provides a mechanism for the device to check back in and remain managed.
