Chrome Extension
The Deep Freeze Chrome Extension is an extension for the Chrome browser that enables the following Deep Freeze MDM features:
Send messages to devices as an on-demand action.
Collection of the following device data: OS version, memory stats, storage capacity, battery level, username of the current user, OU of the current user, whether the device is currently using work or home group, what group is currently applied to the device.
While individual users can install the Chrome extension, installation is best managed by an administrator using the Google Admin Console.
To deploy Chrome extension:
Go to MDM > Settings.
Click the Chromebook icon.
Click the Chrome Extension tab.
Log in to your Google Admin Console with your Super Admin credentials.
Navigate to Device Management in the Google Admin Console.
Select Chrome Management, then User Settings.
Use the navigation pane at the left to select the OUs to which the extension should be installed.
Navigate to Force-install App and Extensions section and click the Manage force-installed apps link.
Under Chrome Web Store, search for Deep Freeze MDM and add the extension. Click Save.
Scroll to Incognito Mode and select Disallow incognito mode to prevent users from bypassing the extension. Click Save.
Navigate to Device Management > Chrome > Device Settings. Scroll to Guest Mode and select Do not allow guest mode to ensure the extension is always applied.
Once the Deep Freeze Chrome extension has been enforced to the appropriate OUs, you will be able to use all features of Chromebook MDM.
