Microsoft Edge Rollout (Group Policy)

To deploy the Select Star extension across all managed Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browsers in your organization, use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on a domain controller.

This method assumes that Microsoft Edge is already set up as a managed browser for your users. If you haven’t configured Edge management yet, follow this guide to get started: Manage Microsoft Edge extensions in the enterprise.

Prerequisites for Edge Extension Deployment via Group Policy

1. Your organization uses Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

2. All devices are joined to your Active Directory domain.

3. You have access to the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on a domain controller.

4. You have permission to create or edit Group Policy Objects (GPOs).

5. Microsoft Edge is configured as a managed browser.

   1. To verify, open edge://policy in Edge and check for active policies.

Steps to Configure Group Policy (GPO)

1. Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on your domain controller.

2. In the left panel, right-click your domain or a specific Organizational Unit (OU), then select: Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here…

   

   Create a new GPO
3. Name the GPO (e.g., Select Star Extension) and click OK.

4. Right-click the newly created GPO and select Edit.

5. In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to: Computer Configuration → Policies → Administrative Templates → Microsoft Edge → Extensions

6. Double-click Control which extensions are installed silently.

7. Select Enabled and click Show.

8. Add the following entry:

   okjjmjmiaemccchgkpchjpkaomabndek;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx

9. Click OK and close the editor.

10. To apply the policy immediately on a device, run: gpupdate /force. Otherwise, the policy will apply automatically during the next policy refresh cycle.

The extension will now automatically appear in Microsoft Edge for all users in the selected org unit.
