Chrome Settings Not Saving

By Jeffrey DavidsonThere has been a lot of focus on VMware UEM (formerly Immidio) in recent months since its acquisition and release as VMware User Environment Manager (UEM).In this blog entry I will walk through the process of capturing Google Chrome settings and incorporating that configuration into UEM.UEM can be deployed with configuration items for common applications like Microsoft Office, which saves a lot of work. For applications not included in UEM, you can use the UEM Application Profiler to capture specific configuration settings. Deploying UEM is generally not a time-consuming task, though it does require some thought and planning. A majority of your time will be spent configuring UEM, specifically, applications you wish to add to your UEM environment.Windows applications generally store configuration information in the registry and/or files on the computer. The UEM Application Profiler “watches” an application, and captures the location where its settings are stored. This process is referred to as “application profiling,“ which basically is the process of understanding where an application stores its settings.

The UEM Application Profiler can also capture specific settings, which can then be stored in UEM and enforced at logon. Today we will focus on capturing or “profiling” a new application and bringing that configuration into UEM.There are a few things I’d recommend you do if you plan to profile applications. Install at least one desktop with the applications you wish to profile. We will refer to these systems as the UEM capture systems. In larger environments you may wish to deploy additional capture systems. Install the UEM Application Profiler on the capture systems.

• Step 1, Open Google Chrome. To back up Google Chrome, you must open the browser on a desktop computer.Step 2, Click ⋮. It's in the top-right corner of the window. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu.Step 3, Click Settings. This option is near the bottom of the drop-down menu.
• Set up persistent authoring in Chrome DevTools so you can both see your changes immediately. Home; Setting Up Your Dev Environment. See Save Changes To Disk With Workspaces to learn how to use the version of Workspaces. If you do not want to change those original files via the workspace, make a copy of the.

Preventing Chrome from saving your credit card is also an easy task on your Android device. Open Chrome, tap on the three dots and go to Settings, followed by Payment methods. Any previous payment methods you added will show up here. If you only want to disable the feature and not remove any credit card information, toggle the feature off.

It is important to note that you cannot install the UEM client on the same system as the UEM Application Profiler. The UEM Application Profiler installation files are found in the “Optional Components” folder of the VMware-UEM-x.x.x.zip file. Take a snapshot of the capture systems in case you need to roll back.We are now ready to begin profiling applications. We will begin by launching the UEM Application Profiler from the Start Menu on your capture system. We see a blank “Flex Config File” this is the file that will contain the application configuration once the “application profiling” is complete.It is helpful to have an understanding of the application before capture begins. I recommend researching where an application saves its configuration data before starting the profiling process; it will be time well spent.In the case of Google Chrome, we know the application stores much of its configuration and settings in files in the user profile (C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalGoogle).UEM Application Profiler has built-in registry and file system exclusions that prevent the Application Profiler from capturing data unrelated to the application being profiled.

Mike BijlHey Jeffrey,I got a detailed question about the Chrome config file you used here We include the folderIncludeFolderTreesGoogleChromeNow we see an enormous growth in profile zips because it looks like when Chrome updates itself the updated binairies are saved in the subfolder “Applications”. Is this a demo configuration and thus can this folder be excluded or not be included or is this a production ready configuration? 🙂To me this folder seems not necessarythanks in advance.Mike.
